LEGO Despicable Me 4 75582 Brick-Built Gru and Minions Officially Revealed | May 2024

When the LEGO Minions theme first launched back in 2020 amidst a global pandemic, one Minion-themed model in particular stood out. This was 75551 Brick-built Minions and their Lair which includes the iconic and massively loved yellow minions in a brick-built LEGO form. Kevin and Stuart were both included in this brick-built form but the former of these could be transformed into the extremely cute and loveable Bob.

75551 Brick-built Minions was probably the most popular LEGO Minions set released back in 2020 and LEGO will be capitalising on that success with the brand new LEGO Despicable Me 4 theme. One of the four sets releasing on the 1st of May 2024 is 75582 Buildable Minions which will retail for $54.99 with a total of 839 pieces.

Unlike 75551 however, 75582 Brick-Built Gru and Minions includes the minion's leader Gru in a brand new brick-built form. He is the tallest and biggest of all the brick-built characters included in 75582, wearing his usual dark outfit with a grey scarf. His arms, hands and even fingers can be moved allowing plenty of poseable positions for the main character of the Despicable Me series.

Along with Gru, five smaller brick-built minions are also included. These include Jerry with maracas and fruit hat, secret agent Dave with a head propeller and walkie-talkie, Beedoo Minion with a megaphone, the ukulele-playing Mel and Kevin with his fart gun. All these minions sit on rotating platforms allowing plenty of fun and play with all six of the brick-built characters included in 75582.
