Lego in Talks to do The Simpsons

From that bastion of geek news, The Wall Street Journal:
Lego, looking to expand its string of partnerships with media franchises, is in talks with 20th Century Fox about making a toy set based on TV show The Simpsons, a spokesman said on Thursday.
It’s about time. I mean, they are pretty much the only two properties ever to depict caucasians as bright yellow. So it’s a natural fit. And with Lego also holding Marvel and DC licenses, you can now finally have Bartman join the Avengers or Justice League.
I’d imagine a video game can’t be far behind. What playsets would you like to see them do? I’d take a Kwik-E-Mart, myself, but Krustylu Studios could be fun.
