More Simpsons LEGOs – I Never Thought I’d See the Day

The only appropriate word is ‘SQUEE!’.

Simpsons Lego Figs

Just look at those beauties. You can check out a gallery of each individual one at Gizmodo. They each get a little accessory! It’s adorable! I’m having to wipe up some drool over here! They’re gorgeous! They’re works of art! They are probably more expensive than I could ever afford. They’re apparently $4 a piece and will be ready in time for the all-LEGO episode of the Simpsons in May.

Some days I am truly amazed that we get to live in this world.

I Don’t Own Any Simpsons LEGOs Because Money

Did you know that The Simpsons house LEGO set is $200?! What does LEGO think we are, made of money? Or that we’re all money tree farmers? Darn it, I knew I should have gone into money tree farming! I guess I’ll just have to satisfy my desires with all the fun that other people are having with their LEGO Simpsons houses. Like Monsieur Caron, for example.

 

Clearly Batman + LEGOs is a Winning Combination

Enjoy this LEGO Batman Arkham video on your no-doubt harsh Monday!

With The LEGO Movie dominating the box office, surely I can’t be the only person in a LEGO mood recently. Brought to use by the folks at forestfire101.

A Little V-Day Comedy

Sorry, but I’m still kind of hung up on The LEGO Movie! Here are some well-made bloopers! No movie spoilers, I don’t think.

Take your significant other to see The LEGO Movie!

My 6 Favorite Classic LEGO Themes

The LEGO Movie was awesome! It was more awesome than it had any right to be, and that’s  coming from a guy who expected it to be a great film. The LEGO Movie was transcendently good, touching upon themes and realities that reached both the kid and the adult in of me. I’m so glad I didn’t read any reviews or any spoilers before seeing the movie, because watching it all unfold on its own during the movie was just a fantastic experience.

So, of course, I’m in a LEGO sort of mood.

It’s a good mood to be in

I have been playing with LEGOs for as long as I can remember. I used to own a ton of them when I was a child, and could usually count on my grandmother to get me a few more sets for my birthday or Christmas. I don’t think I ever owned any of the really huge sets, but I had vehicles, and mini-figs and more loose pieces than you could shake a foot at! And my love for LEGO never went away. I still buy the occasional set now that I’m all grown up, just for the fun of putting it together and then adding it to my Geek Wall for display.

But back in the day, I was hooked on LEGOs. Let’s take a trip down memory lane to some of my favorite sets and themes. And please feel free to share some of your own memories in the comments!
