by

I love the Simpsons. And I love Lego. So even if you’re pretty poor in Math, you should be able to put an equation together that shows how much I love the Simpsons Lego figures. Legos are always going to be top notch when it comes to quality and detail in construction toys, and the new Lego Simpsons line is no exception. While I’m still waiting for the Lego Fairy to deliver me a Simpsons House, I …
