"The Krusty Burger earns its Mixed Reviews tier with a BrickScore of 62.4: a fun, Easter-egg-packed Simpsons build held back by an overpriced entry point and a smaller footprint than its predecessors, best justified by the three brand-new character minifigures for dedicated Springfield collectors."
The 10352 Krusty Burger generated a genuinely mixed critical reception. Expert reviewers flagged the high price relative to piece count and the noticeably smaller footprint compared to the prior Simpsons House and Kwik-E-Mart sets as real concerns, producing a BrickScore of 62.4. Owner ratings tell a somewhat warmer story at 4.33 out of 5 across 327 ratings, but that figure is lower than the typical Simpsons collector enthusiasm and only 79% would recommend it, reflecting that the value gap critics identified is real. The set's strengths lie almost entirely in its fan-service details and the three brand-new minifigures.
Where they split: The core tension reviewers identified is the Simpsons fan premium versus objective value. Enthusiasts who contextualized it as a series continuation and fan-service vehicle came away satisfied; collectors who benchmarked it against the prior larger sets or against piece-per-dollar ratios found it wanting. Owner ratings (4.33 out of 5, 79% recommend) are measurably below the warm reception the prior Simpsons sets received, confirming the critical split is real rather than just a vocal minority.

"We're finally back in Springfield. It's been a while, and is the first set since Disney bought Fox in 2019 so with that Disney connection is this the start of something...?"

"Overall I actually did enjoy building the model more than I initially thought I would, and I like the way it neatly folds and unfolds."

Simpsons fans are genuinely thrilled to see the theme return and enjoy the clever Easter eggs and new minifigures, but widespread complaints about the set being noticeably smaller and pricier than the earlier Simpsons sets temper the enthusiasm.
