Ten years have passed since Lego teamed up with everyone’s favorite animated family, The Simpsons. The family’s house was the first set released in 2014; their local convenience store, the Kwik-E-Mart, was released a year later. Now, after a long wait, it’s time to make some burgers. Mmmm… burgers. *drools*
Lego just announced it will soon be releasing a Lego Krusty Burger set to continue its relationship with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and the town of Springfield. Scheduled for release June 4, with Lego VIP access starting June 1, this 1,635 piece set includes seven minifigures: Homer, Krusty, Sideshow Bob, Bart, Lisa, Lou, and Squeaky-Voiced Teen. Here are a few images.
In line with a set of that size, Krusty Burger costs $210 and you can see more images here. Plus, if you order on the official Lego site, and are a Lego VIP, you get an incredibly cool gift along with it. It’s a Lego version of The Simpsons couch.
This is how Lego gets me: “Hmm… $200 is a lot but I really like that small, cheap set it comes with, so maybe I’ll buy it anyway.” Seriously. It’s happened before.
As a proud owner of the original two sets, it’s worth pointing out that Lego goes all in with these. Every little detail is some wink or nod back to the show which, even if you haven’t watched it since the last set was released or before, you can still appreciate. What are your thoughts on the Lego Krusty Burger? Will you be giving it a bite?
