It looks like Yahoo screwed up today and has given our “official” first look at the new LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016). The information and images came from a cached page that was inadvertently put up.

The LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016) contains 2,179 pieces and will retail for $199.99. The set will basically open up like with The Simpsons House (71006) to see the details inside of the convenience store. Apu will have a new store shirt which is different from his usual attire. You also will get a sticker of Jasper as Frostillicus to make it look like he’s frozen inside the freezer.

From what we know now, the Kwik-E-Mart (71016) will be available to LEGO VIP members from April 15-30 and to the general public on May 1st.

This means that the official official reveal of the set by LEGO will be very soon with more images and the designer video to go along with it.

Update: Yahoo’s page of the set reveal is now live. LEGO has also officially revealed the set.

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?

A few days ago, we reported that a peculiar product listing on SpeelGoed NL had the set number 71016 which would be released in August 2015. It was rumored to be the LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart which we first talked about back in October.

I now have information that the set number is indeed correct but the release date is different. A reader by the name of Steve has said that LEGO VIP members will be able to purchase the Kwik-E-Mart early on April 15-30 which means that it will be available to the general public on May 1st.

There are no details other than that but at least we know that we can get our hands on it a few months earlier than what was reported a few days ago. Stay tuned as we get closer to the release date with information about piece count, pricing, and images of the LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016).
