Despicable Me 4 is scheduled to premiere in July this year. In the movie, Gru will face an unprecedented challenge – his youngest son, Little Gru, who annoys his father in various ways. Additionally, the movie introduces a new villain: Maximus Lemar and his girlfriend, Valentine. Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the movie’s release was postponed, and the LEGO Minions series also temporarily halted the launch of new sets. However, in January this year, we learned that a new set of Despicable Me 4 series is planned to hit the market in May, including a plastic bag building kit and four complete sets. These new products may be larger in size than the previous Minions series, and we now have more details about these sets. Set number 30678 [Despicable Me 4], set name: [Despicable Me 4], number of pieces: 48, number of minifigures: unknown, age recommendation: unknown, official price: €3.99, release date: May 1, 2024. This building kit set belongs to the Despicable Me 4 series, and the specific name and content of the set have not yet been disclosed. It may include new Minion minifigures and characters from the movie. Set number 75580 [Banana Car], set name: [Banana Car], number of pieces: 136, number of minifigures: unknown, age recommendation: unknown, official price: €24.99, release date: May 1, 2024. In addition to the plastic bag building kit, this 75580 Banana Car is the smallest and cheapest new set in the Despicable Me 4 series, with only 136 pieces and priced at €24.99. Set number 75581 [Minions Party Bus], set name: [Minions Party Bus], number of pieces: 379, number of minifigures: unknown, age recommendation: unknown, official price: €34.99, release date: May 1, 2024. The 75581 Minions Party Bus is another vehicle in the new Despicable Me 4 series set, and we speculate that it is a bus with multiple Minion minifigures. The set includes 379 pieces and is priced at €34.99. Set number 75582 [Buildable Minions] (illustration is 75551 Playable Minions), set name: [Buildable Minions], number of pieces: 839, number of minifigures: unknown, age recommendation: unknown, official price: €54.99, release date: May 1, 2024. This set, both in terms of set name and the number of pieces, is very similar to the 75551 Playable Minions launched in 2020, and we speculate that this set also includes two brand new giant Minion buildable models.
75583? [Gru’s House] Set number: 75583. Set name: [Gru’s House]. Number of parts: 868. Number of minifigures: Unknown. Age recommendation: Unknown. Official price: 99.99 euros. Release date: May 1, 2024. This set is the largest and most expensive new product in the Despicable Me 4 series. It contains 868 parts. Its suggested retail price is 45 euros higher than that of the 75582 buildable Minions set. Gru’s house is not only an iconic building in the movie, but also a super secret base for Anti-Villain League agents. It is equipped with multiple deadly traps and a hidden underground Gru laboratory. We expect this model to be a multi-level, richly detailed building with many unique rooms. However, this is only our current speculation. Please note that all information about the LEGO sets of Despicable Me 4 comes from rumors of overseas players. Therefore, be cautious about this information until it is officially confirmed by the LEGO Group.
