Don't Burn Your Wiener! :: Happy Labor Day Weekend!

I am a subscriber to the LEGO fanclub and in their emails they include instructions for fun little builds. They recently sent out instructions for a BBQ. I modified their build based on the pieces I have and came up with the BBQ pictured above.

And who better to warm their wiener on this fine three day weekend than Homer Simpson?

Fun with Simpsons LEGO minifigures!

The best part about the LEGO Simpsons minifigures is that they are yellow skinned - just like LEGO minifigures! Making the customizing fun absolutely endless.

To wit:

'Under da sea! Under da sea! Everything's hotta, under de wata, espeshly ME!'

The Little Homer-maid.

'I haaaave the powwwweeeerrrrrrrrrrr!'

Homer the Barbarian. Or perhaps Ho-Man.

'Freeze, boy! HAHHHAHAHAHA Get it? Freeze? HAHAHAH!'

Homer Freeze and Bartman.

Bartman. Sort of. My only dissapointment with the Simpsons LEGO series is that an actual Bartman is not an available figure. He'd be a pretty easy custom though, with an extra Bart head and some purple paint. I might attempt it if I find an extra Bart.

'I prefer a fair and balanced discourse over violence. But I hate snakes.'

Lisa-anna Jones.

'I prefer the more PC: Lisa of the peoples you do not yet understand, but that have an equally valuable and rich culture, if you would only take the time to get to know them better before raping and pillaging.'

Lisa the Barbarian.

'WHOAH, man!'

Figure Skater Bart.

'Eat my...shell?'

Teenage Mutant Ninja Simpson. Or Bartonardo (I know, he has Mikey's nunchucks...but Bartonardo sounds better than Bartelangelo.)

'Hey Homer, those aren't the 'rhoids you're looking for!'

Barttrooper.

'Margeriannn!'

Homer Balboa.

'This reminds me of a dream I had once.'

Lazy Sunday Homer.

Mmmm...dooonuts'

Officer Homer.

'Sigh. Another weapon? You didn't have an Emily Bronte minifigure to slap my head upon?'

Swashbuckler Lisa.

Slapping Simpsons heads on LEGO minifigures is a hoot. I look forward to doing more with the few I have, and hopefully I am able to find the rest of the family soon.

Stay tuned!

LEGO Simpsons minifigures are hitting stores NOW!

'Aww, this stupid show is on again?!?'

Thanks to a tip from Dan at The Toy Museum, I was able to find the latest LEGO The Simpsons minifigure series at a local Walgreens.

There were only about eight or ten packs laying alone on a shelf. I presume Walgreens stores are just getting a smattering of these sent in to begin with. I was in a hurry, so I used the 'squeeze method' and properly identified Bart Simpson via his skateboard wheels...

...and Homer Simpson via his cylindrical cranium.

As I said - I was in a hurry. So while I REALLY wanted to find Itchy and Scratchy, in my haste what I hoped was Scratchy turned out to be Lisa Simpson...

'You thought you were getting Itchy. HA HA!'

...and what I thought was Itchy turned out to be Nelson Muntz.

I'm not disappointed, mind you. I just like to get the 'must-haves' out of the way as soon as possible. But I'll keep hunting for Itchy and Scratchy, and Marge and Maggie, and maybe some others. Maybe all of them!

Now get out there and start canvasing your local Walgreens stores...and good luck!
