The LEGO Dinosaur Fossils series grows by one more set today with the debut of LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex, a massive 3,145-piece addition to the line. Previously only containing LEGO Jurassic World 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T-Rex Skull and LEGO Jurassic World 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull, 76968 marks the first time in the series where an entire dinosaur skeleton is on display. However, echoing the design of the other two entries, the bones come with a display stand that includes some added bonus beyond the fossil. And this time, that means we get minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant from the original Jurassic Park movie. If you’re looking to start your own museum with this 41 inch-long set (105 cm in metric), LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex will hit store shelves on March 15th (with early access for Insiders on the 12th) and retail for US $249.99 | CAN $329.99 | UK £219.99

Does anyone know if the scale between the T.Rex and the minifigures is accurate?
They are different scales, a T-Rex tooth is about the same size as a banana, and those teeth are bigger than a Lego banana.
But a LEGO banana is taller than a whole LEGO minifig torso! I don’t think you can use a minifig accessory as an accurate measurement of LEGO proportionality; they’re nearly always purposefully gigantic (Proportionally speaking) so that they work at all as a LEGO element.
Anyway, since T. rex was about 12 feet tall, it’s safe to say that this model isn’t anywhere close to minifig scale (Or else it would be about two minifigs high, instead of what looks like seven minifigs high).
The banana was kind of a joke, but also it makes the point that if even a giant banana is too small then it’s not even close.
this is not to minifig scale. the Big fig T. rex from the JW lego franchise are to scale though. as a general rule, the avrage grown man reaches the knees of a Adult T. rex and the minifigs do.
Given the scale, I’d love to see someone place these bones in a Scala museum.
