New Despicable Me 4 LEGO® sets
17 cuoŋománnu 2024
LEGO®, Illumination and Universal are again collaborating on new LEGO® sets. It's not a giant Minion, however, as a recent 1 April post on social media suggested. To celebrate the latest chapter in the biggest global animation franchise in history, LEGO® is launching several Despicable Me 4 sets.
The new set of four products consists of two sets already revealed in a sneak-peek video clip and two that will be revealed at a later date. The first set is the LEGO Despicable Me 4 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion with its iconic architecture and beloved items from the films, such as the red sofa, rocket-style fireplace and bedroom and a brightly coloured tree house. The second set is a Brick-Built Gru with dancing Minions - complete with a ukulele-playing Mel. And Kevin armed with his fart gun. Fans will have to wait a little longer for the reveal of the entire line-up and hidden easter eggs.
LEGO® Despicable Me 4 products will be available from 1 May 2024. Both brands hope the Despicable Me 4 sets will spark the imagination and create unforgettable creative experiences for fans around the world featuring the famous Despicable Me characters.
"Leveraging the creativity and endless possibilities of the LEGO® brand, this collaboration between Illumination, Universal Products & Experiences and the LEGO® Group celebrates the joy of storytelling. Fans told us they really missed LEGO® Minions and we are delighted to bring back this world of mischievous fun, through exciting new play experiences. We hope the new sets will please every fan - big or small!" says Solvita Akmene, designer at the LEGO® Group.
"Illumination's Despicable Me franchise is loved by fans around the world, and our partnership with the LEGO® Group brings together two iconic brands," says Rafael Macias, Executive Vice President & Global Commercial Officer, Universal Products & Experiences. "The LEGO® Despicable Me 4 sets offer new storytelling opportunities and imaginative ways to bring to life the fun, action and sweet-but-subversive humour of this record-breaking franchise. We are as excited as fans are about Despicable Me 4 and can't wait for their reaction to the new LEGO® sets inspired by the film."
More Minions
LEGO® has already released Minions sets in the past. This was in 2001, when the film Minions: Rise of Gru came out. Unfortunately, these sets are no longer available, but of course the parts of these sets are still available at ToyPro. If you want to know which sets these were and what parts they contained, check the details page of one of the sets. That way, you can still make one of the great old Minions sets. Want to collect the Minifigures? You can find them on the special Minions minifigures page.
