Hmmm, seems like a no brainer way to get some of those sets cheaper.

I like the way you think.
Agreed. And the new badge for UCS is good as well. Maybe a repackaging of Best Star and slapping that on there?

5/8 shipments have arrived. About 730 pieces left to start building.
With updated minifigs? My only complaint with the Best Star, really...

JANG's Flashback Friday for March 7th is 6970 Beta 1 Command Base from 1980:
Oh, the feels...
That was a great video. I've had the set for 34 years and I had no idea that the big printed brick was a picture of another set!
Very happy that Apu is in as well as Krusty.
Very disappointed that Itchy & Scratchy are not a set, that Sideshow Bob is out, and that there's no Smithers to pair with Mr Burns
for ridiculously obscene scenes

I gotta guess the Simpsons CMF will be plentiful. At least I hope, don't want to be gouged in the secondary market

nice that Itchy and Scratchy are in but as someone else said, where the HELL is Smithers? Skip Chief Wiggum for all i care but Smithers needs to be in 
I hope Itchy and Scratchy are common, if not ill be skipping the series and off to Bricklink.
Im more interested in seeing the items any of them will have and any colour variations too. Some new printed tiles are all but guaranteed if past waves are anything to go by.

Will Tower Bridge be retired soon now that the Opera House is out?

If the lineup sells like crazy (which the Simpsons House is), then maybe we'll see more?
I'd pay a lot of money for a Park Ranger from the Mountains of Madness episode.
I would MOC up a chairlift that would give my figs an eagle eye view of the area beneath the chairlift.

These are few set ideas that I think would sell great and go well with the Simpsons house:
Kwik-E-Mart
Lard Lad
Moe's Tavern
Krusty Burger
The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop
The Frying Dutchman
Springfield Elementary
KBBL Radio Station
Springfield Retirement Castle
City Hall
Courthouse
Try N Save

Well I hope you're right, there are too many interesting characters to wrap it up with a 16 minifigs series, moreso when 6 of them are ones that already come with the house (granted most of them need a "opened eyes" version).
I really hope we see at least those two !!!

I thought the Parisian Restaurant came with a wine bottle?
Good stuff on the Sandcrawler, I just read up the last few days. I got back to building after a couple day break and have started my LotR and Hobbit sets such as 2x Black Gate and Rivendell and now am on the 3rd floor of unrelated set, Haunted House.

Ok that explains Moe's Tavern but why would that count out the power plant?
Yeah, that quote doesn't make a lot of sense. I think we could easily see a "Homer at his station" set from the plant (with Lenny & Carl), but I don't think we will ever get Moe, Barney or Duffman.

Would anyone suggest any sets that they think would go with Medieval Market Village?
pretty happy with how the Simpsons series panned out, curious about the mystery bag of accessories. Sounds like the figures come with a bit more accessories than CMF usually do?
Please don't let this be the only series of Simpsons they make. So many great characters that need to be realized.

I think the "mystery bag" was just an awkward way of stating the blind-bag that all CMF series have been sold in.

One of the Wal-mart finally have these spring polybags. Walmart also have Friends flower shop stand beside the cupcake stand.
I don't know if that is all there is for this year Easter but last year was much more impressive, with LOTR, Batman, Galaxy Squad, Star Wars, CITY polybags. I am hoping that these are just the "girls" one and more is coming. That said I have yet to find Bat-tumbler at any of the Targets around me. If anyone here with Bat-tumber and want to trade for Tangled / Rapunzel bag please send me PM.

Mill Village Raid
Great suggestions, Thanks. I don't know if the the colour scheme of the roofs in the village raid set matches market village.
The tournament set really would go well though.

Oh, the Sandcrawler is much better than I expected ... and I really need to put money away for that.
I love the new box design and now that Disney own Star Wars, they no longer have to stick to just stupid Lucas "unified" yearly packaging design. I know some like that they can tell what year the toys are from but I personally find they are all hideous looking and not to mention the fact that there is no personality between LEGO packaging and cheap candy licensed toys. The new packaging also allow the UCS to hang around longer and don't look so dated I am sure.

The village raid set is gone and about £90on eBay it seems but the joust tournament is available on a few sites in the UK.

I dont check often due to heartbreak but it's worse in the US as well I think.
It sucks because the Kingdoms line is what I always wanted as a kid. I was huge into medieval culture and living (not just dragons and whatnot) and wanted living spaces more than just fighters. oh well
dont post Kingdoms sets please... it hurts me too much for missing them
I know what you mean. It's even worse for me who had every chance to get those sets and came so close at times. My first Christmas back in the fold I found a bunch of kingdom sets on clearance at walmart for up to 70% off and I decided not to buy them. My pay back then was also a quarter what it is now but still.

I don't have either of those sets and I wish that I did, they are great. But Medieval has always been one of their staple themes, I'm not worried. More will be on the market before we know it. Especially once Hobbit runs its course. They'll need something in that bracket to replace it.
I have a lot of the current Castle stuff but not the biggest fan of the color schemes they went with. So much blue and red on the buildings.
Kingdoms was a great line, the only problem that they had was the color control on the red and white for the lion kingdom tabards/shirts. It bled and became pink alot.

I so wanted them to do an updated Forestmen line for Kingdoms. Dark Forest was rather lackluster.

Oh, I have a BN member coupon for 20% off one item if anyone wants it wants it. Store near me has the new Star Wars and Super Hero sets.
... what? again? I still have not received a single coupon from those fuckers after signing up.
It was the same way with me so I didn't renew after my year was up. I think it was because I signed for it online and that somehow screwed something that no one at BN was able to fix.
I signed up in-store. I was buying Game of Thrones action figures and they sold me on it. I'd heard about the coupons which was the main reason I did it. They won't be getting another penny out of me if I don't start getting them soon
It was a poor seller but at least it got a second wave. I'm glad it's over with since Ultra Agents took it's place and those sets look good.

Kingdoms Joust is still available on S@H, at least in Sweden. Quite expensive though. They also have the chess set.
