I wondered the same thing. LEGO tends to like tying things into movies. I wonder if they released the Krusty Burger with this knowledge in mind, leading up to a few years of merchandising for a movie, or if it's a coincidence. It's not as if there is a general lull of Simpsons merchandise, so they don't really need a movie as an excuse.

Especially, if we look at the target demographic. I don´t want to be mean, but the Disney Simpsons suck. There are whole episodes not including a single joke with setup and punchline. All the "best of"-Youtube Videos are rightfully consisting of 99% material from before the first movie. From my experience as a teacher some kids like the show from those youtube clips but do not watch the new seasons. Some old fans are still watching it to know, what happens to the characters... or just complain about the decreasing quality after suffering through it similar to parts of the Star Wars fanbase. At this point I think a movie is irrelevant. Most people love the old stuff or do not care about the show at all.

On the other hand we know Lego is a company. I can see them doing a new series with a few new characters and a lot of repeats in different outfits.

I doubt it. Would they have known about the film coming out a year before the release of Krusty Burger? If they knew, other merchandise companies would have known and it would have leaked long ago.

Now that you mention it..... the Krusty Burger might have been a test to see if there is still interest on LEGO Simpsons looking forward to the second movie

With a movie, I wonder if it puts additional pressure on rereleasing the Simpson's house as the primary location, or whether they'll expand into a different area.

I haven't really watched it for a long time, and I probably missed a load of episodes leading up the movie. But some of the first ten seasons I know the way the dialogue is said just from a still image!

We watched the original movie two months ago, with my children seeing it - indeed ANY Simpsons content - for the first time. They loved it, and it was reasonable. I hope they do a good job of the new movie.

A CMF would be very easy for them to do, although at only 12 figures, likely frustrating about who would be included.

Especially if five spots go to the family.

Simpsons Movie 2 coming in 2027

I wonder if we'll get sets or even a CMF series 

I pray we don't get another Simpsons CMF. There are enough issues with the CMF line these days... we don't need another spanner in the works! The F1, Spider-verse series, and upcoming animal costume series all were / are / sound awful. Also, didn't Simpsons CMF S2 not sell very well? This will probably go over even worse - especially if the film flops!

The thing is that the old seasons were something very special. They put a bunch of really good writers in one room with a salary, so they interacted with each other and build jokes sometimes with 7 steps where joke 1's punchline is the setup for joke 2... build into a story that had often very emotional moments (like "do it for her"). It was collaborative art. You won't find anything with such a high amount of gags in a product - and I say product to describe these results of soulless corporate productionons on purpose - where writers send in gags, you pay them 50$, if you use one of them, and one dude mashes those into one loosely connected sequence of sceenes they call an episode in the end.

So apparently Fortnite has Simpsons content and they’ve only used existing minifigs except for a newly debuted Moe figure.  It has some people speculating we may actually get a Moe’s Tavern release in 2026.  Have we heard any hints from any real leakers yet?

I could do without The Simpsons being an annual thing. They'll burn through options too quickly, as it's hard on budget and space to have these large sets come every year. Coinciding with the movie is a great idea, and will hopefully mean some smaller sets/CMF too for more of a wave.

Well they can´t do a big set for every theme every year, especially if they want to keep making fresh one offs too.

Ahh I didn't see @TandNbricks say that.  They were the one who tipped us off about Krusty Burger so I trust them with that even if I'm bummed cuz I wanted more! lol

LOL I understand people not wanting one every year, but Simpsons is literally the IP at the least at risk of burning through everything by doing one set per year.  They're on season THIRTY-SEVEN with over EIGHT HUNDRED episodes.  I'm sure they could find something to last them a few years ;)

I agree with you that if it comes back for the movie that I hope we get more CMF to add to the many, many characters we still need to get!

Very true, but I think a lot of the joy of The Simpsons comes from being in the same relatable places, doing relatable things. And if they're going for large 'icons-style' sets then what would they do, that would have suficient mass market appeal to sell well and get approval for the next set? House (remake), Kwik-E-Mart (remake), Moe's tavern, Android's Dungeon, Springfield Elementary, Nuclear Powerplant. Anything else? Would they do Lard Lad Donuts or First Church of Springfield (or Moe's tavern, for that matter)?

But if they do more of a wave, then you can have one of these as a flagship set and then a series of smaller ones that could feature other locations that don't really warrant a $200+ lead set, and access to a load more characters.

Unless they change their approach and say it's OK to release just one $40 set for an IP, which would be very welcome!

Speed Champions Simpsons car, and The Homer. :-)

 

Personally I hope for a decent CMF line again, especially if they can fill in some of the missing characters.

All three of those suggestions are brilliant and I hope they come to fruition.
