There are now new details of the LEGO The Simpsons episode that will be airing in May on Fox. The episode will be called “Brick Like Me” and it will air on Sunday, May 4th. This brick-filled episode will be the show’s 550th of the The Simpsons which is longest-running American sitcom in television history. The plot of the episode is Homer waking up in a world where everything is made of LEGO bricks. He goes on an adventure and must “put together” how he got there in the first place and figure out how to get home.

The new episode goes along with the Simpsons House (71006), which became a hot selling item at LEGO Stores and on [email protected], and is part of The LEGO Group’s licensing deal with 20th Century Fox. The deal also includes a line of Collectible Minifigures that will be released in May. Stay tuned for more details of the LEGO The Simpsons episode.

For those who are not LEGO VIP members and missed out on the chance to get the LEGO The Simpsons House (71006) early a few weeks ago, the set is now available to the general public at your local LEGO Store or on [email protected]. The set contains 2523 pieces and goes for $199.99. If you aren’t a VIP member yet, what are you waiting for? It’s a free membership and it allows you to have perks over people who don’t have it such as early access to exclusive LEGO sets.

Yesterday, the LEGO The Simpsons House (71006) became available for LEGO VIP members at brand stores as well as on [email protected]. A fellow reader by the name of Marcel sent me a a time lapse video of him building the house. Since I don’t have the set yet, it’s cool to see how everything came together. I’ll eventually do a review on the set when I get my hands on it but for now, I’ll just watch it being built. Check out the video below. Unfortunately, Marcel is speaking German so I’m not sure what was said at the beginning of the video.

Update: Marcel has emailed me clarifying that he was just explaining you can now buy the set in LEGO Stores as VIP members, how much the set costs, and how many pieces are in the set.

As we mentioned last week, the LEGO The Simpsons House (71006) will be available early for LEGO VIP members tomorrow at LEGO Stores and on [email protected]. If you’re buying online, I believe it will be available for purchase midnight EST/9:00pm PST. Remember you have to be logged in with your LEGO ID to add it to your shopping cart or else you’ll be seeing it coming soon on February 1st. There is a limit of two one per customer. The set contains 2523 pieces and will retail for $199.99.
