schmidtywerben Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 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?? Quote
comicblast Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 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! Quote
comicblast Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Watching TV and saw that they are making a Despicable Me 2, which could set the ball rolling, though! Quote

schmidtywerben Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Yes, it is a Universal Pictures production. Quote
brickolodon Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Cool movies, but not with LEGO...thats for sure. Quote
TheDarkness Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I loved Despicable Me (yet to take my kids to the sequel) but not everything needs to be made into Lego Quote

It made me laugh too but it was almost embarrassing. Quote
CNH1974 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I thought the gun in the movie was of the silent but deadly variety. :D Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I thought the gun in the movie was of the silent but deadly variety. This has to be the second fart joke I read today on Brickpicker.*sniff* *sniff*... Um, what's that smell? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9rBv4Dn3Bk Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Mystery Men! I like that movie a little bit, which is waaay more than any man should. Mister Furious! Quote

comicblast Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 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?

Quacs Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Not Lego related, but my wife texted me this pic yesterday, and I thought it was awesome...and yes, those are Twinkies! Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Went and watched the movie on tuesday. Liked it more than the 1st one! Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Not Lego related, but my wife texted me this pic yesterday, and I thought it was awesome...and yes, those are Twinkies! (pic) Normally when I talk about how the minions are so cute I want to devour them it doesn't make sense. Awesome! Quote
TheDarkness Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 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! Quote

Darth Lego Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 There's a minion movie coming? That's going to cause a lot of heart attacks due to overexposure to cuteness. Yes there is. It is coming out on December 19, 2014. Link: http://collider.com/despicable-me-spinoff-minions-release-date/ Quote
TheDarkness Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 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 Quote
