"Minion Pilot in Training earns its Recommended tier mainly on the strength of two excellent exclusive minifigures and a set of charming Minions-specific accessories, but the $0.252 per piece price and simplified 4+ build construction hold it back from a higher score. The 4.81 out of 5 owner average across 712 ratings confirms it works extremely well for its intended audience of young Minions fans."
Minion Pilot in Training earns a BrickScore of 70 and a Recommended tier, though expert reviewers were candid about its limitations: the price per piece at $0.252 is high, proportions are awkward, and the 4+ format means large pre-molded pieces dominate the build. What saves it is a genuinely impressive minifigure lineup, a spacious interior with fun details, and a strong personality driven by Minions-specific accessories. Owner sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with 712 buyers averaging 4.81 out of 5 and LEGO signals showing perfect 5.0 scores for value and play experience, though this reflects a predominantly young-fan buyer pool.
Where they split: The Brothers Brick was straightforwardly positive and recommended buying at retail price. Brickset offered a more measured take, calling proportions awkward and the price high while acknowledging the minifigures and interior details were better than expected on closer inspection. Both reviewers agreed the minifigures are the set's primary strength.

"For example, one of the Minions comes with what can be unmistakenly identified as the fart gun from the original Despicable Me movie. I can only imagine the hilarity of that weapon being unleashed in a pressurized cabin."
