Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 by Jay

There's so much to like about Comic Book Guy, and I bet that he's going to be quite popular with collectors, especially since there are only 3 of him in each box. His torso with the exposed fat belly will come in handy if you ever want to create fat minifigs for your LEGO city, and having two great accessories just means tons of value.

The Brick Fan

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I would say that Series 2 is a slight improvement from Series 1 (71005) with a majority of new characters being introduced. The only downside I have is including the core Simpsons family again albeit with new outfits. Plus we wouldn't have a Simpsons theme without the family to anchor the sets.

Prepare yourself to get at least a set or just a box. I am sure this will be a fitting series within your display collection especially when you are a Simpsons fan.

Recommendation: meh 7 / 10 by Roger Palmer

I was really happy with the contents of this blind bag purchase and on a whole, I think this blind bag series is very well made and well worth picking up, especially for Simpsons fans.

I am certainly of the opinion that this series is an improvement over the last one, where one or two minifigures simply didn't capture their on screen counterpart's appearance very well. This time every figure looks great to me, although I am struggling to pick an absolute favourite. Waylon Smithers, Edna Krabappel and Professor Frink are definite contenders.
