LEGO Simpsons Minifigures on sale in Australia!

April 26, 2014 By Jay 9 Comments

UPDATE: Part 1 of my Simpsons Minifigures review is completed! Be sure to check it out to find out what I thought of the first 8 Simpsons minifigs and for more pictures. Part 2 is also complete!

UPDATE: Prices for Simpsons Minifigures at Target have gone back to normal. They’re now scanning for $5.

UPDATE 1/5/14: It’s confirmed. The Simpsons minifigures cost $6 at Target Australia. Credit to Michael for the pictures! If you have to buy from Target, be absolutely sure to price match them with any other store to avoid being ripped off. I think this is in poor taste, raising the price of the minifigures by $1 to capitalize on the rabid interest of The Simpsons. In fact, I highly recommend letting Target know on their Facebook or Twitter that this is not cool.

LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Target Australia

UPDATE 1/5/14:  It’s the 1st of May so The Simpsons minifigures should be in all toy stores across Australia. A reader, Michael has informed me that Target are selling the LEGO Simpsons minifigures for a whopping $6. I will try and verify that tomorrow. In the meantime, do not pay $6 for them, as you can get them for $5 from any other retailer. Frankly, it seems like Target Australia is taking advantage of the increased demand for The Simpsons minifigs. Do not encourage that kind of behaviour.

It looks like Christmas, May has come early! LEGO Simpso

ns Collectible Minifigures are now available for purchase in Australia a little earlier than expected. It seems that Myer has broken the release date for the Simpsons minifigures as they were only supposed to be on sale at the start of May. I had a friend tipping me off to the fact that the Simpsons minifigs were spotted in the Melbourne CBD Myer. I happened to be out today and managed to find some for sale in Westfield Fountain Gate although I found none in the Chadstone Myer.

LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Myer

Good news is that the Simpsons blind bags cost $5.00! Looks like we were spared the price increase that our American and British counterparts had to endure. I snapped this picture of the box containing the minifigures at a cash register near the toy section. Note that these weren’t found in the shelves but on the counter, so you might have to search for them. Helps to also ask some of the staff there to tell you if they’re out.

If you can’t wait to get your hands on them, I recommend ringing up your local Myer’s toy section and checking if these are out yet. In fact, if you’ve been following my monthly sales post, you’ll know that Myer has 20% off toys which ends on the 27th of April, so you could potentially score the minifigures for $4.00. I’m sure these will start popping out in every other retailer starting from next week, and with a plethora of LEGO sales, it shouldn’t be too difficult getting them at a discount if you’re on a budget.

LEGO Simpsons Blind Bag

Here’s a photo of the blind bag, which will contain at random 1 minifigure from The Simpsons. I like the sky blue background that you will recognize from The Simpson’s iconic opening montage.

LEGO Simpsons Characters

Here’s a scanned image of the instruction leaflet contained in the blind bags. Handy checklist to help you keep track of which Simpsons characters you have.

LEGO Simpsons Instruction Manual

On the flipside, we have some pretty basic instructions on how to assemble your Simpsons minifigure as well as shots of the accessories included. I like that they featured all 16 minifigure heads on the top part.

Here’s the box breakdown of each Simpsons minifigure box. Each complete box contains 60 blind bags in the following ratios. This list should help you figure out the rarity of each minifigure.

5x Homer Simpson
5x Bart Simpson
5x Marge Simpson
4x Lisa Simpson
4x Maggie Simpson
4x Ned Flanders
4x Krusty the Clown
4x Itchy
4x Scratchy
3x Grampa (Abraham) Simpson
3x Milhouse Van Houten
3x Ralph Wiggum
3x Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
3x Nelson Muntz
3x Chief Wiggum
3x Mr. Burns

I am extremely pleased that they’ve reverted to their old ratio of minifigures in each box so that you’re guaranteed at least 3 complete sets in each box. Also having just two of each character in each box (LEGO Movie & Series 11 were chief culprits) was just plain silly. I’ve encountered several old women in shopping centres complaining about how hard it was to find the mermaid for their granddaughters and if I wasn’t there to help them feel out the minifigs they wanted, they probably wouldn’t get it.

LEGO Grampa Maggie Simpson

I picked up two minifigures at random (whoa) because I’m going to eventually complete the set, hopefully next week. I got Grampa Simpson and Maggie Simpson, which isn’t too shabby. Expect a comprehensive in-depth review with beautiful pictures as soon as I get my hands on a full set!

If you’re on the hunt for The LEGO Simpsons minifigures, best of lucky and happy hunting!

    They only cost $3.95 each in all stores in the U.S. including the LEGO store (not a sale price)

    Toys R Us in Moore Park Supa Centre, just southeast of downtown Sydney, has boxes and currently has a 20% off all LEGO sale going on. Win! Just picked up all 16 figs for $64! Didn’t take too long to feel out each one’s unique accessories. Ralph and Milhouse were the only ones I had any trouble with. That, and Apu took ages to find, but all up, it only took me about 20 mins to bag ’em all. Pretty psyched. They did a GREAT job with these 🙂

      Neat, thanks for the tip! I was wondering when we’d start to see them at Toys R Us! Which one is your favourite so far?

    Hey there,
    nice article…
    I’m in Melbourne and am desperate to get my hands on a complete box of these mini figures + a couple of Simpsons houses…..I don’t want to buy from overseas, anyone yet seen anything available for both at a discount to the $329 for the house (and any idea on a full box of mini figures ???)

    Ta.

      Hey Justin, if you’re looking for a whole box, you could ask your local department/toy store if they have one or if you’re after just 1 complete set, check out Outer Rim Co or Shop For Me. As for the Simpsons House, if you dont want to buy off LEGO.com or Amazon, your only option is to wait for them to be out in stores. I suspect that they’re saving it for the Toy Sale.

      If you sign up for a VIP card at Docklands Harbour Town (free), you get 20% off Lego at the Toyworld there. I just bought a full sealed box of Simpsons minifigs for $240. Good luck!

My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 C My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 Clone Commander Cody is up, and here's a closer look at some of the details. 

They both will be released on 1 March 2023, and will retail for US$69.99 / AU$99.99 / £59.99 and can be pre-ordered now. 

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

I think both helmets are excellent additions to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmets translate incredibly well, and there are some masterful sculpting techniques and great use of negative space to get the look just right. 

I have to say that I much prefer Commander Cody out of the two, because of the 212th's orange markings, and cool features like the visor and fin. Captain Rex, while having some cutting-edge building techniques have some really poorly colour-match stickers which distract from the otherwise great build. 

Will you be planning on picking any of these up?

Special thanks to @lego for sending these early review sets over!
