D’oh! First Glimpse of “The Simpsons” LEGO Set!
Okay… that’s pretty awesome. Includes Bart, Lisa, Marge, Homer, Maggie and Ned Flanders. They’ve even got the pink car snuggly in the garage. Something about the Bart and Lisa minifigs seems off, but really, who’s complaining? Set #71006 clocks in at just over 2,500 pieces, and we’re guessing it’ll have a price point of $149. We’ll see!
