We knew that LEGO had imagined a few large sets in the VIDIYO range, we are discovering today what the manufacturer has planned to expand this universe composed so far of a few boxes with rather modest content and a series of Bandmates to collect.
On the program, some big thematic concert stages, two new Beatbox-based boxes and a new series of 12 Bandmates to collect:
|
The concert stages and the two new boxes with a Beatbox are already online on the official store and will be available in June 2021. The Bandmates are announced for October 2021. Beatbits collectors still have their work cut out for them.
Today we can move on very quickly with the LEGO set 75547 Minion Pilot in Training, a small box of 119 pieces stamped 4+ which will be available from May 24th at the public price of ... 34.99 €.
As usual, we are promised that we will be able to recreate the cult scenes from an animated film that no one has seen yet by putting together what looks like an airplane. As a bonus, LEGO includes two characters in the box, Stuart in his pilot's uniform and Bob in his classic blue overalls. It's meager for 35 €.
The plane is not uninteresting even if the designer took a few shortcuts not to discourage the youngest fans fresh out of the DUPLO universe. As usual in the 4+ range, we have a large basic element and we graft a few parts on it, hoping to obtain something recognizable. The plane obtained here skips the cabin porthole windows but it still has landing gear, a commodity often rare at LEGO even in much more complex and expensive sets.
The interior layout of the plane will still not discourage the youngest, it is very basic. The designer could not help but add toilets, no doubt to accustom from an early age all those who will one day end up assembling a Structure.
For the rest, the machine which looks a little like the Barbie plane produced by Mattel with its wings too short for its fuselage is solid, it will be easily manipulated without breaking everything and the interior spaces are easily accessible. No stickers in this box, everything is pad printed.
The two figures provided have their seats reserved on the plane, with Stuart at the controls and Bob at the back in the cabin. Or the other way around, it's up to you. Stuart's bag of peanuts is no longer unique, it's the one seen since in Mr. Hooper's shop from the LEGO Ideas set 21324 123 Sesame Street. Taking into account that this box from the LEGO Minions range was produced before the LEGO Ideas set, this set was indeed the first to provide the accessory.
If you collect the Minions in their various outfits, it will be difficult to overlook the Stuart minifigure in an airline pilot outfit. You can choose to get it at retail through the secondary market or buy this box for 35 € and offer the rest of the set to a child, explaining that this plane is piloted by itself. If you really want a nearly identical 4+ airplane for less, the LEGO CITY set 60261 Central Airport (286) sold for 49.99 € but with a much more substantial content will eventually do the trick. It's up to you.
Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at 10th May 2021 next at 23pm.
Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.

For lack of better, it is via the instruction file posted by LEGO that we discover today the contents of the LEGO Marvel Shang-Chi polybag 30454 Shang-Chi and The Great Protector (55) which will accompany the sale of the two sets planned around the film, the references 76176 Escape From The Ten Rings (321) and 76177 Battle at the Ancient Village (400).
In the bag, a Shang-Chi minifig identical to the one delivered in the two sets and a scaled-down reproduction of the dragon delivered in the set 76177 Battle at the Ancient Village.
Note that the two planned sets are currently already available on the US version of the official store but they are still not referenced on the French version at the time of this writing.
The LEGO Minions range is now expanding with two new references in BrickHeadz format with on one side Gru accompanied by Stuart and Otto in the set bearing the reference 40420, and on the other Belle Bottom accompanied by Bob and Kevin in the set bearing the reference 40421.
I never thought I could say that one day, but I find that the BrickHeadz format suits these different characters, you almost forget that they are more round than square on the screen and the adaptation seems to work pretty well.
These two sets are available on the official store:

In addition to the novelties of the Star Wars range, LEGO is launching today several new boxes on its official online store: three DC Comics sets with two Batmobiles and a Batman mask, two Marvel sets with a box containing two mechs and the head from Venom and the new Looney Tunes mini bag series. Note that the marketing of the three new sets based on the film Minions: The Rise of Gru was originally scheduled for April 26 but has been postponed to May 24.
