I'm not sure about anyone else, but the thought of a Despicable Me theme crossed my mind. I really love the movies and watched the first one the other day. I think it would certainly be different to say the least. But LEGO Minions! What could be any better?? Thoughts??

Double thread alert, but no worries...

I'll reply to this one and a mod could close/delete the other one. 

 

To be honest, I don't think it would do well because many of the other Disney movies that have been turned into bad/mediocre investments (example: Toy Story). From a consumer's perspective, I don't know what I would enjoy more! I can just imagine having 50 of the minions! 

 

To my memory, there are really only a few vehicles, like his spaceship/car. I did like the movie though!

Watching TV and saw that they are making a Despicable Me 2, which could set the ball rolling, though!

I don't think Despicable Me is actually a product of Disney. Is it Dreamworks?

Apparently it is Universal Pictures.

Yes, it is a Universal Pictures production.

Cool movies, but not with LEGO...thats for sure.

I loved Despicable Me (yet to take my kids to the sequel) but not everything needs to be made into Lego

I saw the movie for the first time yesterday. The minions made me cry with laughter. I want lego minions!!

Is there not already a toy figurine range for this movie?

Yeah, I was in Target yesterday with my two boys and they found Fart Guns from the movie, they thought it was the funniest thing ever.  It made me laugh too but it was almost embarrassing.

I thought the gun in the movie was of the silent but deadly variety. :D

This has to be the second fart joke I read today on Brickpicker.

For those of us (including myself) who doubted Despicable Me's LEGO potential, get a load of this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Minion-Despicable-Me-2-Display-Piece-/321149765873?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item4ac60488f1

 

Anyone got $850 lying around?

Not Lego related, but my wife texted me this pic yesterday, and I thought it was awesome...and yes, those are Twinkies!

 

Went and watched the movie on tuesday. Liked it more than the 1st one!

Normally when I talk about how the minions are so cute I want to devour them it doesn't make sense.  Awesome!

The maxi fig is sweet but unless it sells it doesn't really highlight potential for it. When they release the Minions movie though, who knows.

Those cupcake/ Twinkie combinations look awesome!

There's a minion movie coming? That's going to cause a lot of heart attacks due to overexposure to cuteness.

It is supposedly in the works. Yet to see the second movie but they were awesome in the first, as well as the extra clips. My kids were eyeing off the toys at a recent sale so might look at putting them aside for Christmas
