LEGO Other 71006 The Simpsons House

LEGO set 71006, The Simpsons House, represents the family home from the animated series The Simpsons. Released in 2014 under the root theme Other, it contains 2547 pieces and focuses on a recognizable television licence rather than a broad in-house setting.

The Simpsons House translates the Simpson family home into a LEGO model. Its position is therefore best understood as a standalone licensed subject rather than part of a regular themed environment.

The included characters are Maggie Simpson (CMF), Homer Simpson with Name Badge, Marge Simpson in Apron, Ned Flanders in Apron, Lisa Simpson and Bart Simpson with Half Closed Eyes. The build is centred on making the house identifiable and pairing it with a character line-up that immediately establishes the source material.

The set suits display, character-based play and collections focused on licensed LEGO models. Within Other, it stands apart through its specific television reference and domestic subject, rather than through connection to a larger group of related sets in the facts provided.
