What reviewers are saying

"LEGO Despicable Me 4 75583 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion is the animated franchise's ultimate set, thanks in no small part to its minifigures."

"Gru's mansion is impressive, but there was potential for something even better"

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

75582 Brick-Built Gru and Minions — This set features the adult Gru minifigure in 75583, while 75582 also depicts Gru; however, the minifigure proportions don't work quite as well for the unique frame of this character as depicted properly in 75582.

43217 'Up' House — Best movie-inspired alternative to 75583 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion, similarly desirable characters, though it's not quite as big.

42620 Olly and Paisley's Family Houses — Comes in at the same price point as 75583 with a pair of houses whose functions and interiors offer a similar experience to the Minions set, but without a licence attached to it.

31139 Cosy House — Worth noting as a comparable set with fun LEGO-specific references to appreciate, much like 75583 has Despicable Me Easter eggs.
