Visit The Kwik-E-Mart—Springfield’s favorite convenience store!

Welcome to The Kwik-E-Mart—your one-stop shop for convenience foods at inconvenient prices! This highly detailed and iconic LEGO® version of The Simpsons™ store is packed with more rich, colorful details than a Mr. Burns birthday cake has candles! Walk under the huge Kwik-E-Mart sign and join Homer, Marge and Bart as they browse the aisles filled with beauty products, diapers, dog food, pastries, fruits, vegetables and more—including Krusty-O’s and Chef Lonelyheart’s Soup for One. Then head over to the refrigerated cases where you’ll find Buzz Cola, chocolate milk, various other drinks and snacks… and frozen Jasper! There’s also a Buzz Cola soda fountain, juice dispensers, coffee machine, arcade games, ATM and stacks of Powersauce boxes. At the counter, Apu is ready to tempt you with a variety of printed magazines, comic books, cards, tofu hot dogs, freshly expired donuts and his ever-popular hallucination-inducing Squishees. At the back, there’s a storage closet complete with rat and an exit. On the roof you’ll discover Apu’s secret vegetable garden, while outside this amazing model features bright-yellow walls, 2 phone booths, a stack of purple crates, and a dumpster area with ‘El Barto’ graffiti, opening door and an iconic blue dumpster that also opens. You can also remove the roof and open out the rear walls for easy access. This set also includes Snake (a.k.a. Jailbird), who loves nothing more than stealing cars and robbing the Kwik-E-Mart—but this time Chief Wiggum is hot on his tail in his police car. Capture this bandit and return peace to the town of Springfield and the amazing Kwik-E-Mart. This fantastic set includes 6 minifigures with assorted accessory elements: Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Marge Simpson, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Chief Wiggum and Snake (a.k.a. Jailbird).

Passed on the house but I might have to get this.

[videriant]

$200 for Snake. Dam. I'll have to rob a bank but I'll get it.

[Brick & Blue]

This is a lot nicer and truer to the show than the house.

[ahcow]

Got the house for the heck of it, but this I actually really want. Definitely buying when it first comes out.

[lordoflego]

This is sweet, but first I have to buy the house

[SEK527]

"Excellent!" to quote Mr. Burns. I'm looking forward to getting this set. I'll even get a second one for my brother.

[kbsig106]

At the price of the House and now this set, a bit rich for me. Nice, but these set prices are killing me.

[vynsane]

Frozen Jasper... sticker. Probably the only possible disappointment in this set.

[pro_zach]

Hmm...same price as the house for 344 fewer pieces and only one new minifigure? Though it does look like there may be a fair amount of printed pieces...you're pushing it, Lego.

Passed on the house but I might have to get this.

Ditto! Stole the words right out of my mouth.

Sentimental value aside, this set is superbly detailed!

[mattlee1965]

$200 is too much for me and i don't really care about the simpsons. But i think this would be a great lego city set. To make a super market set, to go with the fire station and police station.

[byobu]

Love the Simpsons but .....AARRRRGH too expensive!
I was really hoping this set will be in the $100 range. Alas ....

For $200, I'd rather get a modular.

What color is the Kwik-E Mart roof ... "dark flesh"?
