The Lego Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart Leaked?
It looks like the next Lego Simpsons set has been leaked. The Kwik-E-Mart (71016) first showed up on jcbricks‘s Instagram, and was mirrored over on lego_sid‘s account. The photo seems to be showing a cropped and poorly photographed box from the new set. It looks like Apu, Marge, Police Chief Wiggum, and Snake are included with the full size building. This thing is looking pretty big, and it looks like the interior will be fully stocked with all sorts of products. This Lego Kwik-E-Mart is amazingly close to this MOC, from the Springfield Project.

A Lego Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart – The Springfield Project
If you cannot wait for the upcoming official Lego Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart then build your own. That is exactly what Flickr user 6kyubi6 did. It sounds like this is the first in a series, as it has been deemed a part of the “Springfield Project.” This Lego Kwik-E-Mart is a thing of beauty. The whole thing is built on a studs-not-on-top (SNOT) base, which helps give this MOC an animated look. Some of the small details are genius. Keeping with the lived in appearance of the show, the air conditioning unit on the roof is leaking. There is a well made bike rack, and telephone booth. Even the dumpster is leaking a mysterious brown liquid. Then there are the custom made stickers and signs, the Kwik-E-Mart sign, various posters, and even El Barto’s signature. These, along with all of the small details really help to bring life to the scene. You can just imagine Bart and Mulhouse buying a Super Squishee. The only thing missing is Matt Groening’s signature.

More Images of Lego Simpsons Minifigures Leaked (2015)
A week ago the first images for a new Simpsons Minifigures Series were leaked. Based on some prototype Lego pieces it was revealed that Groundskeeper Willie, Dr. Hibbert, and Santa’s Little Helper are coming soon. Now a few more photos of Lego prototypes have been leaked. It looks like we are getting Waylon Smithers, Snake Jailbird, Comic Book Guy, Patty Bouvier, and Professor Frink. That brings the total to 7 and 1/2 Minifigures leaked. That means there are at least another 9 still unknown. There mights even be a few more Minifigs to look forward to with the rumored release of a Lego Kwik-E-Mart set.
These leaked images were posted on TaoBao: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-8641531657.23.WHeJNI&id=40878826304

Lego Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 (2015) Leaked Images
There have been strong rumors going around that Lego was in production of a Series 2 for the Lego Simpsons Minifigures. There might also be a new Lego Kwik-E-Mart set in production. One of these rumors can now be confirmed. The Lego Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 will be released in 2015, and a few images of their production models have been leaked. No one was sure if the Lego Simpsons Minifigures would make it to Series 2, which was dependent on fan reception and sales of Series 1.
It looks like The Simpsons theme is a success, and we can probably expect a few more releases in the future. Series 1 left a lot of gaps in The Simpsons character roster. Lego must have a hard time trying to select Minifigs out of the hundreds of characters from The Simpsons. Groundskeeper Willie, Dr. Hibbert, and Santa’s Little Helper will be in Series 2. Hopefully we can get a Moe Sizlack, Waylon Smithers, Carl Carlson, Lenny Leonard, Sideshow Bob, Mayor Quimby… the list goes on and on.

Lego Gardening: Beautifully Themed Lego Flower Pots
Sometimes you want to build Lego. Sometimes you want to plant a garden. Sometimes you want to do both, at the same time. Jin Kai Soo has created a mini series of Lego flower pots. Built around popular themed sets. The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and the Simpsons make up the first round of pots. These vignettes have captured some of the most iconic scenes in Lego form, and then integrated living plants. The end result is amazingly beautiful.
The little details really stand out. The choice of plants in each plot is spot on. The knobby roots for the little Hobbits to hide behind. The mossy and lush plants recreating the Forest Moon of Endor. And, the tiny and in scale plants outside the dinner from the Simpsons movie. The other details are great too. The skeleton Stormtrooper and the hungry crocodile fit in perfectly.
These Lego flower pots have been proposed as a project over on Lego Ideas. Go check them out, and vote for them. Other ideas have been proposed, such as Life of Pi, and Jack and the Beanstalk. You can find more photos featuring construction and water flow allowences.

The Homer. Powerful like a gorilla, yet soft like a Nerf ball.
“Tonight we’re going to witness automotive history… powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball. Introducing The Homer.” — The Simpsons
The Homer is the creation of Brian Williams, with the assistance of Homer Simpson. The miniaturizing of one of the most infamous vehicles has been handled brilliantly. This is a Lego car that Homer Simpson would be proud of. The child isolation bubble dome, the tail fins, the massive La Cucaracha playing horn, chrome details, and green paint scheme are all present. If you are going to go out of business, there is no finer way.
“Jerry, what’s the sticker price? $82,000! This monstrosity costs $82,000? What have I done?” — The Simpsons
