The Simpsons has passed me by so I'll most likely skip this line. I would like a regular Itchy and Scratchy set though with blood effects and all of that though. There's just too many characters to seriously consider getting into it. Like if I get Moe, then I need (in addition to Homer) a Barney figure too. And without the bar Moe will just be standing there. Not having play sets will hurt it a bit I think, but who knows. They look great, and are still tempting.

If they released the 5 main family members first I would pre-order the entire wave, and then be more open to adding random figures like these in future waves.

If they did that there's a whole lot of people who would buy the first wave and nothing else. Almost all toy companies do this; string you along to keep you buying.
