Let me start off by saying I know nothing about the Simpsons beyond their names and have never watched an episode in my life. Nevertheless, the quality of this set -- probably the best house LEGO has ever made -- made it a must-buy for me despite the high price tag. It's too early to say whether it's worth that much but I like what I see so far... “You’re basically dealing with household items that I can assure you are in your house — furniture, cabinets, TV sets ...
O.J. Simpson, whose murder trial riveted and divided the world, dies at 76
This photo below is an updated shot of the residence, where lots of tropical trees have been added to cover the gate not far from where the bodies were found. The home boasts 4-bedrooms and 4-bathrooms as well as 4,148 square feet of living space. Much of the interior has been updated drastically since OJ left the home, especially in the kitchen. The home features 5-bedrooms and 6-bathrooms as well as a swimming pool and private putting green. OJ often filmed videos at the home as well as on the golf course that’s only a stone’s throw away from the property. As Jameson, vice president of the Kenosha LEGO Users Group, explained, the LEGO-centered projects took place gradually.
Where Does OJ Simpson Live?
A judge said at the time that they’d have to identify exactly who paid Simpson in order to go after the proceeds. Simpson gave up his Brentwood estate and moved to Florida, where, under state law, his home could not be seized by creditors. He received pensions, including from the NFL and the Screen Actors Guild, which were protected from seizure under federal law. LaVergne declined to disclose the estimated value and said he had just begun an inventory. He said there may be value in Simpson’s possessions simply because he owned them, which could increase the value of the overall estate. Simpson does not appear to own any property, LaVergne said.
From anger to appreciation, O.J. Simpson’s death elicits wide range of reactions
In the episode "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife", the painting has a plaque saying it was based on a scene from Moby Dick. In the Season 27 episode "Barthood", young Lisa is seen drawing the sail boat painting. In the episode "Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass", Homer destroys the painting over the couch and Marge retrieves a replica out of a closet. The painting is also destroyed by Lisa's guinea pig in "The War of Art" but it gets replaced with a replica made by a famous art forger.
Lots of Support
Finally, after six building sessions, the model is complete... The roof is constructed in the same way as the other roof sections, making use of yet more white 2x2 inverted domes. In this image the 'Keep Out' sign is visible on Bart's door, another fine inclusion which shows good attention to detail on the part of the designer.
Another reason is that if you like to MOC, adding stickers to some bricks takes away from using that certain piece. I like what Huw has done with this review and so far some of the other with not applying stickers. I just finished building this set myself, and it is amazing! Can't wait to read the rest of the review. One odd thing I noticed is that the Marge figure has a hole in the top of her hair for a hat or tiara on top. I haven't seen very many episodes of the show, so I don't really know what kind of variant she could have.
From the living room to the bathrooms and even the basement, LEGOs can be found all throughout the residence.
On the landing, there is a hatch that leads to the attic. At the end of the film, the townsfolk and the family themselves rebuild the house in exactly the same manner as it was before, restoring the "status quo". The opening sequence and the couch gag of "He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs" shows the house still under construction, along with the whole town rebuilding after the events of the movie.

I find it strange that lisa's "mirror" is just a grey piece when there have been mirror effect stickers in sets before e.g. the VW camper. If you are a Simpsons fan, this set is an obvious winner. I am very happy with it, even given the cost, and am satisfied that justice has been done in the design of this iconic location. While there are certainly inaccuracies, they are acceptable in my opinion to keep costs down.
The Bedroom
The details are worth a closer look though, which we'll do below. I am a HUGE Simpsons fan and this will definitely be a buy for me. And no the car in the show does not have an open top. Great set, gr8 minifigs.Anyone has an idea when is this set coming out in Europe? Generally, what is it with not attaching stickers?

Bart's top is, so Chris tells me, a little too red but as regular orange would be too bright, the best choice of available LEGO colours. On Friday, Simpson’s will was filed in Clark County court in Nevada. It notes that Simpson’s personal property had been placed into a revocable living trust created in January. The will, unlike the trust — which has not been made public — does not detail Simpson’s assets or his wishes for any possessions left behind. The home was built in 1991 and Nicole’s townhouse was 4-bedrooms, 4-bathrooms spanning 3,405 square feet.
The backyard of the house is surrounded by a wooden picket fence and a low box hedge. It features a patio and Bart's treehouse, from which the "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween specials take their name. Occasionally, there is a hammock tied to two trees near the fence that borders Ned Flanders's backyard. The house's first chronological appearance is in the flashback episode "Lisa's First Word", when Homer and Marge purchase it. The house was auctioned to Ned Flanders in "No Loan Again, Naturally", and since then leased to the Simpsons. I'm not a Simpsons fan but your excellent review has really tempted me to buy it.
The former football player moved into the residence following his release from prison in 2017. Inside one of the bathrooms is a shower curtain with hundreds of blue, red, yellow and green LEGO bricks. The theming stretches way beyond the curtain, however. The bathroom also includes a vase and flowers made up of LEGO bricks and even a toilet paper holder with a LEGO figurine. The second story of the house features Marge and Homer's bedroom (with an ensuite bathroom), Bart's bedroom, Lisa's bedroom, Maggie's bedroom, and a bathroom.
Despite talks of relocating back to Florida, Simpson was still living in Las Vegas up until his death in 2024. After being released from prison in 2017, OJ Simpson moved into a 5,037 square foot home in an upscale country club neighborhood in Summerlin, Las Vegas. Stepped out the door when he finally turned himself in. Of course, he left Los Angeles behind after getting out of prison in late 2017 and lived in Las Vegas until his death in April 2024. Some licenses just don't transfer to LEGO that well (like SpongeBob). I'm a little bit puzzled that of all the other licenses out there, they'd go after The Simpsons.
