Hey hey, kids! What's next after LEGO Icons The Simpsons: Krusty Burger (10352)?

The first new LEGO Simpsons set in a DECADE is finally here, so we thought it was the perfect excuse to take a look back at previous LEGO The Simpsons sets, as well as some of the Springfield landmarks we'd like to see embodied in bricks.

LEGO Icons The Simpsons: Krusty Burger (10352) went on general sale on June 4th 2025, a full ten years since the first two LEGO The Simpsons sets - LEGO The Simpsons House (71006) released on February 1st 2014, and LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016) released on May 1st 2015.

It's been eagerly anticipated and heavily featured on LEGO's socials, so does LEGO Krusty Burger 10352 live up to the hype?

LEGO Icons 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger

Price: £179.99

Release date: Available now

Pieces: 1,635

Size: 23cm x 24cm x 20cm (H x W x D)

LEGO Insiders Points: 1,440

Simpsons fans were left disappointed in August 2024 when FastBrickStudios' LEGO Ideas project The Simpsons: The Krusty Burger was rejected after reaching 10,000 supporters. Less than a year later, LEGO's own Krusty Burger has landed, with a lot of similarities.

There's the building exterior, the Krusty Burger signpost and a parking lot entrance. Inside, you find there's a kitchen, dining area and bathroom, accessible via a removable roof.

There are LEGO Minifigures of Homer, Bart and Lisa Simpson, Krusty the Clown, as well as Squeaky-Voiced Teen. But where FastBrickStudios' design included Marge and Maggie, the official release has Sideshow Bob and Officer Lou.

LEGO Icons 10352 also has a lot less parts (1,635 compared with the LEGO Ideas project's 2,996), but it's a shame that FastBrickStudios didn't get any credit at all for helping to drum up some fresh interest in LEGO The Simpsons sets after a ten-year gap.

The good: Stylish and to scale

LEGO The Simpsons: Krusty Burger does a great job of recreating the iconic visual style of The Simpsons, which translates really well into brightly coloured LEGO bricks. The Simpsons characters also make excellent LEGO Minifigures, and everything is to scale.

Despite being made a decade apart, Krusty Burger is the same height as 2014's The Simpsons House (71006), which means you can finally add to your LEGO Springfield display, and hopefully, there will be future LEGO The Simpsons sets still to come.

The bad: Small and sticker-heavy

Although it's built to LEGO Minifigure scale, Krusty Burger is just 24cm wide. The Simpsons House was 42cm wide with nearly 900 more pieces, leading some reviewers to say this new set is on the small side.

Finally, there are the stickers. You can expect a pretty short build time (less than four hours for experienced builders), but a lot of that time is spent applying stickers to individual elements, like the eyes, mouth, tongue and both words of the Krusty Burger sign - all applied separately.

Signs and menu boards throughout the restaurant, plus the bodywork of Homer's "clown-camouflaged" car, all receive the sticker treatment too, and it's a shame that SOME of those elements couldn't have been pre-printed in a set at this price point.

Display it!

The iDisplayit acrylic display case for LEGO 10352 The Simpsons Krusty Burger is made to measure with easy assembly and an optional pre-applied vinyl background - the perfect way to display LEGO Krusty Burger 10352.

LEGO The Simpsons 71006 The Simpsons House

Price: £179.99

Release date: February 1st 2014 (retired product)

Pieces: 2,523

Size: 23cm x 42cm x 24cm (H x W x D)

If you want to buy LEGO The Simpsons House 71006 today, you're looking at about £250 for a used set in good condition, and upwards of £450 for a complete sealed as-new set.

For your money, you get over 2,500 pieces to build The Simpsons House, detailed interiors, Homer's pink car (complete with brick-built dent in the hood!) and accessories including garden furniture and an air conditioning unit marked 'Property of Ned Flanders'.

The set was rounded off with LEGO Minifigures of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Ned. Would it be more detailed if it was made today? Probably, even with that high piece count. But LEGO The Simpsons 71006 is still iconic - and let's be honest, there's been little competition until now.

Display it!

It's a decently sized set, so it's well worth investing in a way to display your set in the best possible way. We always recommend using a display case, so you can prevent dust from accumulating on your set. iDisplayit has recently announced an upgrade to their acrylic display which now features a background and floor that is pre-applied.

LEGO Minifigures: The Simpsons Series (71005)

LEGO Minifigures: The Simpsons Series (71005) followed in May 2014, adding an alternative version of each family member plus characters like Grampa, Milhouse, Nelson, Mr Burns and Mr Smithers, Itchy and Scratchy, Apu, Ralph, Chief Wiggum and Krusty the Clown.

LEGO The Simpsons 71016 The Kwik-E-Mart

Price: £169.99

Release date: May 1st 2015 (Retired product)

Pieces: 2,179

Size: 14cm x 38cm x 27cm (H x W x D)

The only set to rival the LEGO Simpsons House for an entire decade was LEGO The Simpsons 71016 The Kwik-E-Mart, and even that wasn't released for a year.

It's not as big as the house - at 38cm wide but only 14cm high, the LEGO Kwik-E-Mart is much closer to the size of the new LEGO Krusty Burger set. But open out the back wall and you're given access to fully stocked shelves, a Buzz Cola soda fountain, Squishee dispenser, ATM and hot dog stand, plus a whole bunch of other The Simpsons easter eggs.

You also got six LEGO Minifigures: Homer, Bart and Marge, Apu the shopkeeper, Chief Wiggum and the local jailbird Snake (exclusive to this set).

And then... that was that, until this month. The LEGO Kwik-E-Mart is now even more valuable than The Simpsons House, with used sets selling for around £275 and sealed boxes worth well over £500, perhaps because it wasn't so popular at the time.

Display it!

Protect your collector's item with a custom-made Kwik-E-Mart display case for LEGO 71016, with room for the LEGO Minifigures, police car and other accessories that come with the set - there's even room to display Kwik-E-Mart 71016 with its back wall opened.

LEGO Minifigures: The Simpsons Series 2 (71009)

Around the same time, in April 2015, LEGO Minifigures: The Simpsons Series 2 (71009) launched, featuring new versions of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa with Snowball II, Maggie with Santa's Little Helper, Milhouse, Mr Smithers, Patty and Selma, Comic Book Guy, Groundskeeper Willie, Dr Hibbert, Edna Krabappel, Professor Frink, Hans Moleman and Martin Prince.

LEGO Ideas: Springfield Elementary School Simpsons

Those Edna Krabappel and Groundskeeper Willie Minifigures from 2015 could be put to good use if Airbricks95's LEGO Ideas project Springfield Elementary School Simpsons gets the go-ahead.

In November 2024, it reached the magic 10,000 supporters and has been in the LEGO Review process ever since. So if it gets approved, what can we expect?

The proposal contains 2,612 pieces to construct the exterior of the building, which honestly looks fantastic and just needs a printed sign (hopefully not a sticker) over the main entrance.

What's on the inside?

Inside, there's Bart's classroom, with a Bart Simpson Minifigure writing lines on the chalkboard; a science lab; Principal Skinner's office; and an upstairs music room with a saxophone-playing Lisa Simpson Minifigure.

This would be an AMAZING LEGO The Simpsons display piece, as it has a sidewalk with streetlamps, benches, litter bin and fire hydrant, plus Homer's pink car and a Homer Simpson Minifigure.

LEGO Ideas: The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror

A fifth and final entry on a list literally decades in the making, MightyIcepaw031's LEGO Ideas proposal reached 1,584 supporters but was archived by LEGO in May 2025 due to its "overlap with The Simpsons Krusty Burger".

It's quite hard to see how the new LEGO Krusty Burger set overlaps with The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror. This project features the Bad Dream House from the very first The Simpsons Halloween Special, with the family's bedrooms, living room, cauldron room, burial ground and Hugo's attic.

More on the side

There's also a side section with the kitchen, library, storeroom and 'trick or treat' attic room. The 2,775-piece set would include brick-built Kang the Conqueror and Bart the Raven figures, along with LEGO Minifigures of Wizard Lisa, Witch Marge, Red-Eyes Maggie, Prince of Darkness Ned, Hugo Simpson, Narrator Homer and Ghost Frank Grimes.

It could use some finesse from LEGO's own designers, and we can understand why they might not want to launch a play set with a Native American burial ground included, but the basic idea is so good and we're sure this would be a hugely popular LEGO Simpsons display piece, especially around Halloween.

Which would we like to see?

Given the choice, we'd have to go for Springfield Elementary School, as it's the more important location throughout the series. But the LEGO Treehouse of Horror is a really well put-together project and it's a shame it was archived in its prime.
