The Simpsons LEGO Special Episode

The special episode of the animated series The Simpsons with LEGO sauce, titled Brick Like Me, is definitely talking about him a few days before its first broadcast in the USA and here are some new visuals including the one above which allows us to discover the "virtual" LEGO version of the family home of 742 Evergreen Terrace in Springfield, which is clearly a simple "conversion" of the house of the series in bricks to stick as closely as possible to the reference model, in particular at the level of the windows. 

As is the case for the minifigs which are different from their plastic version, the family home of the series, probably designed long before the definitive LEGO version of Marcos Bessa, displays some notable differences (especially at the level of the windows) with that of set 71006 released at the beginning of the year on the lego shop.

Other visuals are online on my flickr gallery.

From his side FNAC also references this box of 60 sachets, without indication of price or deadline at the time of this writing.

I corrected the link for this box to each European version of amazon on Pricevortex, it's up to you to compare the prices that will be charged depending on the country (pay attention to possible shipping costs for foreign versions of Amazon).

The Simpsons LEGO Special Episode

Two more visuals of the same barrel as the one posted yesterday by the official Simpsons account on Twitter with this image posted on the official facebook page of the series which confirms the broadcast of the 550th episode for May 4.

It seems that the interpretation by the directors of the series of the LEGO version of the characters is definitely very far from their plastic version which will be marketed from next week ...

The site TVguide.com Perhaps brings a beginning of explanation concerning the aspect of the characters in the episode: the work on this episode would have started two years ago, LEGO will have had time since to change its mind and design for its minifigs ...
