Ay caramba! LEGO has announced the launch of a Simpsons-themed Krusty Burger set. It is minifigure-scale, and it includes numerous Easter eggs and references to the classic era of the show. LEGO The Simpsons: Krusty Burger is not available for preorder, but will retail for $209.99 and is targeted toward the 18+ age range. It will release June 4 to the general public, but LEGO Insiders can get Early Access beginning June 1 (you can sign up here for free).
This is the first Simpsons-themed build since 2018, when LEGO launched two small Brickheadz models of Homer Simpson and Krusty the Clown. Prior to that, LEGO Simpsons consisted of only two sets: a 2,523-piece model of the Simpsons house (2014) and a 2,179-piece model of the Kwik-E-Mart (2015).
LEGO The Simpsons: Krusty Burger
Out June 1 for LEGO Insiders, and June 4 for everyone else.
Both of those sets have since been retired. Thus, the Krusty Burger announcement comes as no small surprise, reviving a LEGO franchise that was thought to be defunct.
The Simpsons: Krusty Burger is composed of 1,635 pieces and measures 9 inches tall, 9.5 inches wide, and 7.5 inches. Its exterior is evocative of McDonald’s and includes details such as the drive thru menu and drive thru window. The entire build opens and closes on a hinge to reveal the detailed rooms inside: a kitchen, a bathroom, and a dining area. There are two separate, buildable elements in addition to the actual restaurant: the Krusty Burger sign on a tall pole and Homer’s Krusty-fied car from the Season Six episode “Homie the Clown.”
The set comes with seven minifigures: Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Farmer Krusty the Clown, Sideshow Bob, the Squeaky Voiced Teen, and Officer Lou.
LEGO Insiders who purchase the set from either the online or the brick-and-mortar LEGO Store from June 1-June 7 will receive a gift with purchase: a 123-piece set of The Simpsons Living Room, while supplies last.
