I can only imagine the hilarity of that weapon being unleashed in a pressurized cabin.ĭue to this set’s target audience of beginning builders, it comes with two large pieces: the aircraft’s mainframe and the front cabin. For example, one of the Minions comes with what can be unmistakenly identified as the fart gun from the original Despicable Me movie. I’m not sure how this set will be incorporated into the movie, but the pieces included in this set indicate that it will be hilarious. Next up was 75547 Minion Pilot in Training. For just short of $40, it’s definitely worth the pickup for the three unique Minions alone. This is a fantastic set, especially for the variety of parts it comes with. It’s great that the Kung Fu Battle set comes with three of them. However, the Minion figures are fantastic. There’s not a lot of complexity to it, but it’s definitely something my four-year-old couldn’t do by herself. It’s easy to see why this set isn’t rated for beginning builders. There’s also the combat practice spinners, which allow for a Minion to battle a “wooden” figure over a banana. Most notable is a catapult that launches one of the Minions into the air while breaking the rear wall in half. The teal blue (I’m partially blind so they look green to me) is a color I haven’t seen this much of since Rock Raiders.īy the way, can you find all four colors of bananas that are included in this set? It was fun to see such a relatively obscure brick be used in so many ways. However, within minutes of opening the boxes, I was thrilled to see new parts and new building methods with lots of fun colors. I’ll be the first to admit that my kids were more excited to see these Minion sets than I was. The Chinese-inspired detailing was very interesting to put together, especially since the only other place I’ve seen these parts are in Ninjago sets. It was the only one of the three sets to not be in the “ages four and up” category, and therefore was a bit more technical than the other sets. I started with 75550 Minions Kung Fu Battle. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with early copies of these sets for review. All three sets will be available beginning April 26. These sets were revealed by LEGO more than a year ago and are now finally making their way to store shelves. Those who are big fans will be willing to hunt for these characters, whereas casual fans just buying a random box will be unlikely to get stuck with a purple Minion that they may not want.Banana! In preparation for the much-delayed cinematic release of Minions: The Rise of Gru later this year, The Brothers Brick was given a sneak peek at three LEGO Minions sets, so today we’re taking a quick look at 75546 Minions in Gru’s Lab (87 pieces | US $19.99 | CAN $24.99 | UK £17.99), 75547 Minion Pilot in Training (119 pieces | US $29.99 | CAN $39.99 | UK £29.99), and 75550 Minions Kung Fu Battle (310 pieces | US $39.99 | CAN $49.99 | UK £34.99). As the purple minions are both less popular and less recognizable/marketable than the regular yellow minions from Despicable Me, it’s simple logic why they’d be the lowest-produced figure in the Mega Bloks Despicable Me Minions blind box series. The “ultra rare” figure in this set is, not surprisingly, the purple Minion (AKA “Evil Minion”).

In 2015, the Minions will have their first movie of their very own–but before that, MEGA Brands is giving the Minions their very own series of blind boxes! And thanks to this handy code number list, you can make sure to pull exactly the Mega Bloks Minions Series 1 figure you want every single time!
