LEGO Minions Lair Set Puts Your Minions in a Minion
To celebrate the upcoming release of Minions: The Rise of Gru, LEGO has revealed several new sets inspired by the film. My favorite of them is this set that lets you create some larger minions for your minion minifigs to hang out in.
Set #75551, aka “Brick-built Minions and their Lair” features models of minions Kevin and Stuart, each of which opens up to reveal a part of the minion’s lair inside. You can also rebuild Kevin into a dopey looking minion named Bob. I love all of the details inside of these guys, including little tools, gauges, computer screens, knobs, and gears. The 876-piece set also comes with adorable minifig versions of Kevin, Stuart, and Bob.
The 876-piece set should hit the LEGO store on April 27, 2020, which should give you plenty of time to build your minion lair before the movie’s July 3 release.
