Get Building!

Lego is coming to Springfield.

The toy giant confirmed Wednesday that it will soon release a Simpsons house set. Reports had been circulating for a few days about the kit.

According to Lego, the set will go on sale on February 1, and will retail for $200. The company also will release a set of Simpsons minifigures in May that will cost $4 each. Finally, there will be a Lego-themed episode of "The Simpsons" that will air in May in which the show's characters and the town of Springfield will appear in Lego form.

I know the quality of the bricks is good but $200 can buy you a lot of things and this really is all just a lot of injection moulded plastic.

Even the smaller kits are in the $50 range and the largest I've seen up to $500!
