LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 (71009) Review

May 3, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Way back in August of last year, there was talk about the Series 2 LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures (71009) even though Series 1 was still in stores. That was when speculation started up of who will be included in Series 2 before LEGO officially revealed them back in March.

There are 60 minifigures in a box and you can pretty much find three complete sets in a full unopened box. Each of the packets are $3.99 and they contain a random character from the wave. I’ve managed to collect all 16 from Series 2 on my first try with the help of my feel guide which hopefully you can use as well to find the character(s) you want.

The official trailer for A LEGO Brickumentary has now become available watch online. If you haven’t heard, the movie is a documentary about LEGO and it explores the history and the worldwide cultural impact the bricks have on people who build with it. It is narrated by Jason Bateman and there are plenty of interviews and stories with AFOLs about what LEGO means to them.

A LEGO Brickumentary was first shown at the Tribeca Film Festival last year and was picked up by RADiUS-TWC shortly after. The release date for theaters will be July 31, 2015. You may probably recognize many of the builders in the movie including Alice Finch, Nathan Sawaya, and Stephen Pakbaz just to name a few. Check out the trailer below.

We’re finally at the end of the summer 2015 official box art images from BrincaLandia with LEGO TECHNIC. There are three LEGO TECHNIC sets scheduled to be released the rest of the year, I believe, with the Fire Plane (42040) and Crawler Crane (42042) out this summer, and the Mercedes Benz Arocs 3245 (42043) which will be available in late 2015. As you can see above, there are only images of the Crawler Crane available at this time.

Updated with Fire Plane.

Crawler Crane (42042)

Make way for the LEGO Technic crawler crane. This 2-in-1 model comes with the Power Functions motor that lets you use the joysticks to operate the boom, raise and lower the claw, rotate the superstructure, and drive the caterpillar tracks. It includes a double winch and pulley system with extensive cabling and rebuilds into a mobile tower crane.

Fire Plane (42040)

Take to the skies for aerial firefighting adventures with the awesome 2-in-1 LEGO Technic fire plane. This model is packed with authentic details and features, including a detailed 2-cylinder engine, joystick-controlled elevators and ailerons, and large pontoons. When you’re done fighting wildfires, rebuild the fire plane into a high-speed jet plane.
