I guess it's something if the Simpsons still has the power to offend people. A cat wielding an axe with murderous intent or a bully with a baseball bat is okay. But someone drinking beer? Well that's taking it too far buddy.

I just got a simpsons pinball game for my house, now I'll have to buy all the lego simpsons to add some decorations. What's the best way to get a full set with the least effort (ie not going to go and feel up bags). Should I buy a whole box online, or just look on bricklink for a completed set?

Isn't that the main reason they don't like having guns in sets unless they are essential i.e. Cowboys? On that note is there any kid that hasn't made a cigarette out of the tiny cylinder pieces with a red button piece on the end?

Cloks posted:I agree with you, but they probably don't want to sell a bartender to kids. Moe isn't just a bartender, he's a fully rounded person. From his wikipedia entry: Moe's temperament is characterized by a short, violent temper, coupled with homicidal and suicidal tendencies (the latter of which has become more apparent in later episodes of the show). He frequently threatens various people with a shotgun, particularly if they do not pay their tab, and threatens prank callers to his bar with sadistic violence. In the episode "Simpsons Christmas Stories", Moe is shown to attempt suicide every Christmas Day. See?

On one hand, I'm excited about buying these. On the other, I worry it's going to be like the Lego Movie minifigs, and I'll be able to buy like four before they sell out everywhere (and never get restocked).

The amount of love and little details that Lego have put into this line is amazing. The 'Choo Choo Choose you' card, Blinky/Inanimate Carbon Rod, 'Old man yells at Cloud' paper is brilliant. The only one I don't like is Police Chief Wiggum. He's noticeably fatter than the rest of the characters and it doesn't really come across.

Honestly, the only thing I care about is that both itchy and scratchy are both common and not super rare. Those two are the only minifigs I've ever wanted.

Maybe a cylinder would work well enough rather than a sphere shape. It'd still have the basic feel. Probably too big, but one of the planet halves from the SW micros, like 75010? That's the least obnoxiously patterned one that's not a Death Star. http://www.fbtb.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9686

I've never watched a single episode of The Simpsons all the way through so my knowledge of the show is mostly limited to things people link to on SA, but I might need that "Old Man Yells At Cloud" newspaper piece.

I had something else entirely in mind but this somehow happened, Top camera is a 360 camera thing, the front one is a super duper turbo high res front cam.

That said, new new $4 price point is too much for me. I get that the Simpsons needs all need new molds, but it seems like the next series will cost the same. Amazing that it's gone up from $2 n 2010. But let's be honest I'll try to buy them all anyway.

I suppose the only way to get Moe will be to buy Moe's Tavern (Never happen in a million years). The best thing about the Simpsons minifigs is that none of the accessories reference anything that's occurred on the show in the past few years, because they're well aware that is when mostly everybody stopped watching the program. I must possess Grandpa and his Springfield Shopper tile.

I love the design of their modern city vehicles. The old four stud cars certainly have their charm but poking the tires out that extra stud and adding the fenders makes everything look so meaty and streamlined.

I'm surprised by how much I want those Simpsons minifigs. But what I really want is for Lego to go rogue and make a barfly set of Moe's bar with Moe, Barney, Lenny and Carl minifigs  And for anyone in Melbourne (  ) who wants Lego Movie minifigs, the Myer on Bourke St in the city has a ridiculous number of boxes. I think they probably had 30-40 mostly full boxes of minifigs spread through the toy department.
