“Lego has out done themselves! Okay, we know that's an understatement. They continue to come out with awesome cross promotional limited editions like the Simpsons house and this amazing Kwik-E-Mart. If you've been around the Simpsons, which now is impossible to avoid or heard... More of, then you, like me, know all the details of this set by heart.”

“Honestly, I think this set is perfect. The price is fantastic, and has a great PPP ratio. They really went above and beyond by including Snake in this set. I honestly think it's better than the Simpsons House in terms of accuracy and the value here- so many cool pieces... More printed and in exclusive colors.”
New Elementary
“Once finished, the set looks excellent. The two back quarters fold open in a way that will feel familiar to those who owned classic Castle back in the 1980s, or indeed now. The central hidden flat roof section with Apu's secret garden is removable to allow impressive access... More to the inside. Even if you are not a Simpsons fan this is a great parts pack.”
