Following in the footsteps of The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers may be getting an official LEGO set.
A fan concept for a Bob’s Burgers LEGO set has been selected for consideration by the LEGO Group – meaning that the company is now assessing it for possible release as a product. After receiving 10,000 votes from users, it was part of the review period from the LEGO Ideas platform. It has now been placed in the ‘Parking Lot’ for further review, which has proven successful for other concepts.
Bob’s Burgers is an animated comedy series that follows the travails of long-suffering fast food joint owner Bob Belcher. The titular character is forever tested by his own passion for burgers and his family’s antics – his wife Linda and children Louise, Gene and Tina.
The fan concept, created by GreyGo, was overlooked in previous round but is now getting further consideration for official release. It depicts the iconic façade of the townhouse building, where Bob flips burgers on the ground floor while the family avoid work and the Belcher tribe live on the top floor in their apartment. All of the walls are removable to make interior rooms accessible.

GregGo suggests, of course, minifigures of Bob, Linda, Louise, Gene and Tina – but also Teddy, handyman and Bob’s most consistent customer.
The show was created by Loren Bouchard and debuted in 2011. “I’ve been thinking about doing a show on a family that works in a restaurant for a long time,” he told It’s Nice That about the genesis of the show. “I love the fact that you get a family and a workplace all in one. Nobody bats an eyelid because all over the world there are kids that work in their parents’ restaurants.
“Fox was in the business of doing stories about families, The Simpsons established that very firmly and there’s a lot to be said about doing an animated show about a family, we learnt that early on.”
Three new sets have been announced from the third 2025 review – Kimonos, Jumanji and Universal Monsters.
