Official photos and set details of LEGO 71016 Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart

March 12, 2015 By Jay 1 Comment

LEGO 71016 Simpsons Kwik E Mart

Yahoo.com has officially announced and revealed the LEGO Kwik-E-Mart (set number 71016), the follow up to last year’s Simpsons House. The Kwik-E-Mart, one of Springfield’s most iconic landmarks weighs in at 2179 pieces and will cost $199.99 in America, which is the same price as The Simpsons House.

The release date for LEGO VIP members will be from 14-30 April, with a general release probably on the 1st of May for everyone else.

If all things remain the same, I expect the Australian price of the Kwik-E-Mart to be around $329.99 like the Simpsons House.

UPDATE: The listing for the Kwik-E-Mart has gone up on LEGO.com and my prediction was right! The Australian price is now confirmed at $329.99 with a 1 May 2015 release date. Like all big exclusives, there should be a pre-order window for VIP members to get early access to the set, possibly 2 weeks before the official release.

Be sure to check out the newly released designer video for a behind-the-scenes look at the Kwik-E-Mart!

LEGO 71016 Simpsons Kwik E Mart - Interior

Like the Simpsons House, the Kwik-E-Mart opens up like a dollhouse to reveal a pretty colourful and vibrant interior of Springfield’s favourite convenience store. According to the description, the Kwik-E-Mart set includes “light-blue walls, dusty blue floors, turquoise welcome mat, shelves, refrigerated cases, counter, Buzz Cola soda fountain, juice dispensers, coffee machine, two arcade games, ATM, crates of Powersauce bars, surveillance cameras, rear storage closet with a rat, cheese, rat hole, and an exit door.”

The minifigures included in this set are Apu in his uniform, Marge Simpson, Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson (which all look very similar to their previous versions), a new Chief Wiggum with a stained police uniform torso and of course, notorious criminal, Snake who makes his debut as a Simpsons minifigure.

The Kwik-E-Mart has shelves packed with fictional brands from The Simpsons such as Krusty-O’s, Chef Lonelyheart’s Soup for One, Buzz beverages, and Powersauce bars.

It’s really hard to tell what it looks like from the photos but the Kwik-E-Mart looks to be stuffed with all sorts of details and printed elements which are a must-have for any diehard Simpsons fan.

LEGO 71016 Simpsons Kwik E Mart - Rooftop Garden

Last but not least is the rooftop which features an urban garden.

Pretty cool! I count myself  as a very happy owner of The Simpsons House which is still on display in my room, so I will definitely pick this set up, but maybe not immediately.

It looks small, but I think it looks pretty awesome and it’s great to have more familiar locales from Springfield in LEGO form. With Series 2 of The Simpsons minifigures due in a few months, there’s a lot to look forward to if you’re a fan of LEGO Simpsons minifigures.

I’m also glad that we get Chief Wiggum’s patrol car but the absence of Eddie and Lou is unfortunate. I think the minifigures are a little lackluster, with Snake the only real standout from the bunch.

What do you think? Will the Kwik-E-Mart go on your to-buy list? Let me know in the comments what you think!

Thank you, come again!

    I’m a 28-year old kid who is crazy about the Simpsons! I even have a huge tattoo on my right leg with the family 🙂
    Of course I’ve got the Simpsons’ lego house, all the minifigures from the very 1st series and definitely I’ll buy this marvelous #71016 as soon as it’s available here in Russia! ))))
    I’m happy that Lego cooperates with Matt Groening and issues such wonderful releases!

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!
