Back in October of last year, we exclusively reported that the LEGO The Simpsons line would be releasing another set this year with the Kwik-E-Mart (71016). Many people were skeptical about the set but we were pretty confident in our source of the news.
Today, there is definite confirmation in the set because there is a leaked image of the box coming from an Instagram post. As you can see, some of the minifigures included in the set are at least Apu, Marge, Chief Wiggum, and Snake who we saw before with the head mold image. In addition to the Kwik-E-Mart building itself, the set also includes Chief Wiggum’s police car. Also note that the E on the store sign is brick built while the other words are stickers.
According to the April 2015 LEGO Store Calendar, there is an exclusive set being released for LEGO VIP members from April 15-30 and I believe that it will be indeed the LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016) and will be released to the general public on May 1st. The official images of the set will be out in a few weeks.
So what are your guys’ thoughts on the set now that you seen a little teaser image of it?

In my opinion, Snake, Officer Wiggum, and Apu are perfect characters for this set, but i don’t see why Marge is at the Kwik-E-Mt
You don’t remember when Marge got caught shop lifting at Kwik-E-Mart?! Classic episode…
Awesome. I love the Simpson’s House set! Can’t wait to add this to the collection. Wonder how much it’s gonna cost.
Looks like a really impressove set!! It doesn’t look as detailed or even as incredible as the Simpsons house, but that was to be expected. I’m excited to see the piece count amd to see inside the Quick E Mart itself. I love that, with the exception of Marge, we’re getting 3 unique figures who we haven’t seen in a set before. If they keep up the “yearly release” trend, I’d like to see either Springfield Elementary or the Burns Nuclear Plant as next year’s set, or maybe even Krustyland!
Can also see Homer’s head in the bottom right of the picture! Really hoping there might be more characters hidden from view???
Also, is Apu wearing his pin pals shirt? Might that mean we also get Moe in this set???
