The release of a new Despicable Me movie can mean only one thing: lots more Lego sets based on Gru and his increasingly bizarre Minions.

It’s hard to believe, but the Minions will be 14 years old this June and to celebrate there’s a new Despicable Me film coming out… and four new Lego sets based on it.

This won’t be the first time there’s been Minions-based Lego, as there were several sets based around the Minions: The Rise Of Gru spin-off, but the new ones for Despicable Me 4 are led by a new brick-built display of both Gru and his pesky underlings.

To tie in with the movie’s plot, this will be the first time there’s been Lego versions of the Mega Minions and the Anti-Villain League (AVL) Minions, with the former being bigger than the normal sort, with superpowers like flight and being able to stretch even taller.

The four new sets are aimed at kids from ages six to nine and will able be available from Wednesday, May 1. The movie will be released on July 3 in the UK.
