    They are now being sold in places around the US. Anyone want to check your local shops to see if they've gone on sale here? Checked Midleton and Mahon Point today and no dice. :-(

    They were on sale at the checkout. Receipt is at home, so can't check that. They were actually on sale yesterday, bought four, would have posted then but I'd a blinding migraine. Still haven't opened them.

    These are available in Smyths by the way, I went in today and bought all 16 (after a short bit of feeling the packets, they're easy enough to identify). I think today was the official release date but they actually had been available to buy for the past week, in my local store anyway. They look terrific! :)

    To find Milhouse, first find a packet with short legs and a square tile together - you've got either Ralph or Milhouse. Then feel the head, Ralph's is very smoothly rounded, while Milhouse's is taller and slightly jaggier - his prominent nose is the giveaway. Hope this helps! :)

    Trailer for Sunday's Lego episode of the Simpsons. Not sure what to think, Simpsons is rubbish these days, but it is Lego after all.

    Hamleys in Dundrum have them, but at €4 each just like their other mini figs. That place is expensive for Lego.

    I do apologize to the people of Limerick City as we have inadvertantly bought ALL the Homer's and Bart's in the region.

    16 packs picked at random.

    6 Homers and 4 Barts! Anyone looking for swaps? :rolleyes:

    Same thing happened to me with the Lego Movie mini figures, 6 packs in a row from different places in the one store and I got 6 Taco Tuesday guy. Stick the spares up on adverts for €3 each, sure you will sell them all quick enough.

    Hi

    Was wondering is this thread used for swapping Simpsons minifigs? Or could you point me to a place where you can swap with fellow collectors. I have an extra Chief Wiggum and a Mr Burns i would like to swap.

    You should also put up your own ad, you may catch some people who are looking but haven't put up their own ad. I had a few swaps that way
