Depends. Need to see them and which figures are in them.
The house is very nice but expensive.
The figures are top notch though. I can see these being a HUGE success for Lego even now a few years after the height of the Simpsons popularity.

Jonathan got the free Spider Glider courtesy of Grandma's Daily Mail voucher. It's the first kit he's built himself from the instructions :-D Someone's Grampy was waiting outside TRu first thing this morning. As a result Jonathan built his second kit in front of them this afternoon and they are VERY impressed. There's a bit of me that takes great delight in thinking that something from the Daily Mail is being used to help a child with ASD

Not a fan of The Simpsons Lego. They look a bit off, not sure what.
Picked up the Star Wars snowspeeder yesterday, will assemble that at a later date.

I know what you mean. I think it is the headsculpts. It feels too far from the Lego ethos to me.

The design could have gone for the printed on look as with the recent Lego Simpsons episode. Sometimes the sculpted approach works for some characters (i.e TMNT Splinter, Star Wars Yoda and Simpsons Monty Burns) whilst the majority don't need it.
Original Star Wars Snowspeeder is an old toy favorite.

Spotted the new City Arctic sets in Glasgow's LEGO store yesterday. They look quite nice.

Andy and Ralph were looking at the same sets in the same store yesterday!
Ralph says one of them has a Lego Gavin Merrifield in it!

The City Arctic stuff is rather good. Visually the orange bricks are quite attractive, and there are some really nicely designed sets in it.
Saw the Police Surveillance helicopter in the LEGO store as well. Police Helicopter. Yes, of course - any resemblance to a repainted MH-53 is completely coincidental I'm sure...

Ah, was wondering just the other day when the Arctic sets would start turning up. Will keep an eye out for those.

while hunting for cheap Penisbots in Tescos I spotted they had their SW Lego Battlepacks down to £9.50 so had a Utapau one, their exclusive, at that price.

I saw that the other day on sale in Tesco and was tempted but passed as I have a pile of sets to build and another trip to a Lego store in my near future anyway. Don't want to hit the brick event horizon.

Picked up a box of Harry Potter Lego from the car boot sale on Sunday, a dealer had gotten it first so I probably paid about a 200% mark up on it but as it seems to contain two complete hogwarts (2001 and 2004) sets plus 5 or 6 other sets, it still worked out cheap. I now have 4 different Hogwarts sets so I wondering how best to combine them and then attach them to Helms Deep to make an uber Castle.

Spend £25 in Lego store this week and get a freebie TMNT Shredder Flashback minifig. Doesn't look that amazing but I approve of the offer nonetheless.

I have to say, I agree with the review. It looks a bit sparse, and stuff like the landspeeder could have been taken out to include more cantina-specific things.
