The verdict

I love a set that has one genuinely surprising trick up its sleeve, and this bus has it: the whole side splits open and rotates out into a DJ booth with a working piano, plus a hot tub tucked in back.

It made me laugh out loud the first time I opened it up on the table. At 379 pieces for four minifigs, the value is honestly there, and the Minions themselves (Dave, Mel, Phil, and a Mega Minion Gus) are charming little builds in their own right. This is a set for someone who wants a fun, fast, silly build rather than a serious display piece, and it delivers exactly that.

Best for: Despicable Me fans and parents who want a quick, silly build with real minifig payoff

The full review

What it is

This is the kind of set that doesn't take itself seriously, and I mean that as a compliment. It's a boxy little tour bus that, with a flip and a rotate, opens up into a full-on party scene, DJ booth, piano, hot tub, balloons, even a produce stand tucked in for good measure. The first time I got it open I actually said out loud, that's clever, because I wasn't expecting the transformation to be that satisfying for a set this size.

The catch

I'll be honest about where the budget goes here though. At 379 pieces this isn't a deep build, and once the novelty of the fold-out wears off, the bus itself is a pretty basic shape. If you're coming to this set hoping for intricate greebling or a serious display model, you'll be a little underwhelmed. This is a play set first, and it should be judged as one.

Who it's for

Where it earns its keep is the minifig lineup. Four figures, including a bigger Mega Minion Gus, for under forty dollars at launch is a fair trade, and Minions fans (especially younger ones who just watched Despicable Me 4) are going to get real mileage out of acting out a goofy tour-bus party. If you're an adult fan chasing parts or display value, skip it. If you've got a Minions-obsessed kid or you just want something light and funny to build together, it's a good pick.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one moves fast. It's mostly straightforward panel and plate work to get the bus shell together, so it's a good one to hand to a younger builder or to knock out in an evening without much fuss. The real moment is near the end, when the side panels release and the whole thing rotates open into the party layout, that's where the design actually shows its hand.

The standout pieces are less about rare molds and more about the fun little accessories: the piano element at the DJ booth, the hot tub piece, the balloon cluster, and a produce crate that feels like a nice random detail. The four minifigs, Dave, Mel, Phil, and a larger Mega Minion Gus, are the real value driver here, and having a Mega Minion included at this price is a nice bonus for anyone collecting the Despicable Me 4 lineup.

Fun facts

01The bus has a hidden working QR code built into the model, an unusual little Easter egg for a set this size.
02It was released May 1, 2024 to tie in with the Despicable Me 4 movie, and included a Mega Minion Gus alongside three standard-sized Minions.

04Brickset's community rating sits at 4.1 out of 5, reflecting a set that's more loved for its play value than its build complexity.
