“Using the LEGO brand’s creativity and endless possibilities, this partnership between Illumination, Universal Products and Experiences, and The LEGO Group celebrates fun storytelling,” says Solvita Akmene, Designer at The LEGO Group. “Fans told us they were really missing LEGO Minions and we are happy to bring this world of mischievous fun back to them, through exciting new play experiences.”
“Illumination’s Despicable Me franchise is beloved by fans across the globe, and our partnership with The LEGO Group brings together two iconic brands,” says Rafael Macias, Executive Vice President and Global Commercial Officer, Universal Products and Experiences. “The LEGO Despicable Me 4 sets offer new storytelling opportunities and provide imaginative ways to bring to life the joy, action, and sweet-but-subversive humor of this record-setting franchise.”
Both sets will be available starting May 1 at LEGO stores, lego.com, and other retailers. Two more yet-to-be-revealed sets are also a part of LEGO’s Despicable Me 4 collection.
