Fallout From Confirmed LEGO The Simpsons News

You may have heard by now but this morning, it was confirmed that LEGO will be releasing sets based on The Simpsons theme. This was somewhat of shocking news because all that we heard of it was just rumors. Now that we know there will indeed be The Simpsons sets in 2014, there are also some fallout from this major news.

Over on LEGO CUUSOO, there were projects that were based on The Simpsons theme such as B. Parsons’ project called “The Simpsons Project” that was started on March 16, 2012. We’ll just use this project as an example. If you try to go to the link, you will be greeted with “Project Deleted – This project has been removed for not following the Guidelines” label. Since there will be official LEGO The Simpsons sets coming out next year, CUUSOO has deleted all Simpsons-related project off the site. There are no traces of it anywhere on any major search engines, no cached page, nothing. The only thing that I could find was on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. The last snapshot of it active was on June 27, 2012 so we’re not exactly sure when the projects were deleted or how many supporters they had.

The point is that these projects on LEGO CUUSOO may or may not have passed the review stage if they ever achieved the … Continue

LEGO The Simpsons Confirmed For 2014

August 5, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

Back in March, we reported there were rumors that The Simpsons would be coming in LEGO form. Today, the rumors are now a reality. The same Danish newspaper has confirmed that there will indeed be LEGO The Simpsons sets coming in 2014. According to DR.dk with the help of Google translate:

One of the most-loved, arch American families are now emerging as LEGO figures. These are the yellow cartoon family, The Simpsons. We get both Homer, Bart, Marge and the other to look to next year, says Mads Nipper, marketing director with responsibility for product development, marketing and sales of LEGO.

The launch of the characters is a “small product news” in the beginning, but if the reception is strong enough, can quickly turn up the production. It will be a small launch, but it will hopefully be fun and exciting for those who like the Simpsons universe, says Mads Nipper.

At Top Toy with both BR Toys & Toys’R’Us in Denmark, there is no doubt that the new series is going to sell. The target audience for The Simpsons are teenagers and adults, but there are also many children who know them, says product manager at Top Toy, Carsten Nielsen. He has also seen the figures as they appear in the 2014 catalog, and he says that “they are really well made.”

At the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, we were hoping that LEGO would reveal The Simpsons since it was one of the largest entertainment conventions in the United States but it didn’t … Continue

Rumors of LEGO Simpsons in 2014

March 7, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are some late night rumors swirling about a LEGO licensing agreement with 20th Century Fox of possible The Simpsons sets as early as 2014. Mads Nipper, LEGO’s marketing director, confirms there are ongoing negotiations with the creators of The Simpsons to produce LEGO sets of the iconic cartoon series. There’s no word yet of when an agreement is expected as of this time.

If there is an agreement between the company giants, it will mark another victory in LEGO’s corner of attracting some well-known 80’s-90’s cartoons in becoming official sets including the recently released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme. I feel the Simpsons sets will be pretty popular with AFOLs and TFOLs due to the large array of bright colors used to create the cartoon. What are your thoughts of some LEGO The Simpsons sets? Stay tuned for more details of this very surprising news.

Update: The rumors are now confirmed!
