Minions The Rise of Gru: theatrical release postponed to summer 2022

Bad news for Minions and LEGO fans, Universal has confirmed that the theatrical release of the animated film Minions: The Rise of Gru (Les Minions 2: Il était une fois Gru) is postponed again. Initially scheduled for July 2020, then July 2021, the film's release is now postponed to summer 2022.

We know that LEGO had planned to accompany the release of this animated film with five sets, two of which have already been on sale in 2020, the references 75549 Unstoppable Bike Chase (19.99 €) and 75551 Brick-Built Minions and Their Lair (49.99 €). I also offered you in May 2020 a "Review"from the set which allows you to assemble the maxi-figurines that house the Minions' lair.

The other three planned sets had briefly been available at a few retailers and on eBay but were officially withdrawn from sale and from the official online store as soon as the film's first postponed release was announced. LEGO probably expected to finally be able to market them this year and a promotional polybag, the benchmark 30387 Bob Minion with Robot Arms, was even expected.

We can assume that the manufacturer will therefore probably postpone the sale of the three remaining sets by one year again and you will have to wait to be able to add the three references below to your collections:
