I'm a bit mystified about Lego making the Mars Rover as a Cuusoo product. They've already done a (bigger) Mars Rover previously as part of the Discovery range, 7471: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7471-1

[james_tigerwoods]

I assume the argument would be that they're different and that the Cuusoo sets are custom made by fans?

[Jobbo]

They're certainly different! I suppose it proves that if a CUUSOO suggestion gets enough support, they'll build it notwithstanding that they've already done something similar.

Yup

Don't care that the Simpsons House won't "go with" anything I already have

I'm having it

End of discussion

Sounds like it is out starting today as a VIP special ahead of it's Feb 1st general LEGO Store release date.

[C2996]

going to start building all my lego, started with this

[Mark.]

Yes got it too - £179.99

I'd say there were better Lego models to collect - but then I've never seen the Simpsons

[Oakey]

I must be the only one who doesn't like The Simpsons house?

I think the minifigs look scary as fk too, they remind me of the artwork from the very first season!

ETA: Actually, looking at this image they don't look too bad:

In previous images I'd seen they looked horrendous

[BlueMR2]

The 3 half eyed models actually look better in person, overall it looks pretty good (if you like the Simpsons) but quite expensive just for the building.

[Blakeatron]

Simpsons house and cargo plane ordered, oops!

[BlueMR2]

Nice.

The B model hovercraft is pretty cool.

I got the VIP email today for the simpsons,all my models are Technic but I'm tempted with this one seems pricey at £180.00..! is it a Ltd Edt.? And if so how many numbers.?

[kev1974]

Yup £180 is too much for me. Might be time to buy Parisian Cafe instead.

[CRA1G]

Theres just been a report on this mornings BBC NEWS all about the release of the Lego Simpsons house..! Do we know what numbers are been made yet.? And are ALL the figures Inc in the set.?

[kev1974]

It must have been formally press-released because the Mail have a story about it as well

You get the 5 Simpsons characters as well as Flanders. They have one built in the window at the LEGO store in Leeds if you want to check it out.

I imagine it will be limited by sales due to cost as its not an individually numbered set.

There should also be a set of 16 minifigs after the LEGO Movie Minifigs so you can get a few more minifigs to add to the scene.
