LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth 76974 Brick-Built Mosasaurus Boat Mission – A bold return to basics [Review]

LEGO sets based on the Jurassic films have a notoriously high price-to-piece ratio thanks to the large molded dinosaur figures. This has never been more true than the current wave of Jurassic World Rebirth sets, which offer incredible play paired with big price increases. One set in the line bucks the trend – 76974 Brick-Built Mosasaurus Boat Mission. With a retail price of  US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99 for 858 pieces, the set promises something that other sets leave wanting: value. But is this brick-built behemoth a model of excellence, or is it dead in the water? Let’s find out!

LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth 76970 Baby Dinosaur Dolores: Aquilops – Cretaceous cutie

The plot of Jurassic World: Rebirth hinges on tracking down genetic samples from the biggest dinosaurs deemed too dangerous for the original Jurassic Park. It also introduces the Aquilops, a plant-eating ceratopsian roughly the size of a housecat. And it’s a baby! Alongside the line of action playsets, LEGO will help you build your own baby Aquilops from 339 pieces. Available on June 1 for US $27.99 | CAN $29.99 | UK £19.99, 76970 Baby Dinosaur Dolores: Aquilops is the most  affordable set in the latest Jurassic collection. It follows in the tiny dino footsteps of Baby Bumpy: Ankylosaur, a set we found to be a true delight for a great price. How does Dolores measure up as a buildable baby dino friend?

LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth 76973 Raptor & Titanosaurus Tracking Mission – Biggest. Dino. Ever. [Review]

In Jurassic World Rebirth, scientists require DNA from the largest and most lethal dinosaurs on a secret research island run amok. For sheer size, the Titanosaurus is arguably the biggest there ever was, and it’s the star of the second biggest LEGO set in the Rebirth line. LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth 76973 Raptor & Titanosaurus Tracking Mission contains one enormous sauropod, a raptor, two vehicles, three minifigs, a campsite, and an abandoned gas station, built from 582 pieces. The set releases on June 1 and can be pre-ordered now for US $109.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99. Does bigger mean better when it comes to dino DNA?

LEGO Jurassic World 76972 Raptor Off-Road Escape and 76975 T. rex River Escape – Jurassic Classics [Review]

Every new Jurassic movie adds at least one new dino species or hybrid, and this summer’s Jurassic World: Rebirth looks to be no exception. But the franchise also loves bringing back the original MVPs – T.Rex and Velociraptor – who, like Godzilla, have become the heroes as much as monsters. Each of these legends gets its own set in LEGO’s line of Rebirth sets in the form of 76972 Raptor Off-Road Escape and 76975 T. rex River Escape. The sets contain 286 and 199 pieces, respectively, and will be available on June 1. You can pre-order now for  US $39.99 | CAN $44.99 | UK £29.99 (Raptor) and US $49.99 | CAN $64.99 | UK £44.99 (T.Rex). 32 years after Spielberg and co turned them into stars, does this dino duo still shine?

LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth 76976 Spinosaurus & Quetzalcoatlus Air Mission – Paging Johnny Thunder [Review]

Three years after Jurassic World: Dominion closed the book on two generations of scientists and park staff, the franchise is back with a new cast, a new director (Rogue One‘s Gareth Edwards), and, most importantly, a new island full of deadly dinosaurs to escape from in Jurassic World: Rebirth. In advance of the film’s debut this July, LEGO is releasing 6 sets, with the biggest of them all being LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth 76976 Spinosaurus & Quetzalcoatlus Air Mission. The playset packs in two large dinosaur figures, four minifigs, two vehicles, and a substantial ruin that doubles as a dino nest and brings big Adventurers energy. It also sports the biggest pricetag yet for a Jurassic playset. This epic Air Mission is available on June 1 and can be pre-ordered now for US $159.99 | CAN $199.99 | UK £139.99. Is it worth a braving a detour to InGen’s lost island to pick it up? Let us be your guide.

LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus Rex – An epic specimen to behold! [Review]

Last year, LEGO decided to take a little adventure out of standard playsets in the Jurassic World line, and into some interesting display pieces: fossils! The LEGO Dinosaur Fossils series kicked off with LEGO Jurassic World 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T-Rex Skull and LEGO Jurassic World 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull which were a huge hit. It was only a matter of time before they decided to go bigger! LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus Rex just arrived on the scene as the first full skeleton in the series. This 41 inch-long (105 cm), 3,145-piece set 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. Join us as we unearth and piece together this model to see if it’s museum-worthy.

LEGO digs up a huge new set with LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex [News]

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

LEGO Jurassic World 76967 Little Eatie: T. Rex – Little Eatie? More like Little Cutie! [Review]

With a name derived from the Latin for ‘king of the tyrant lizards’, you’d be forgiven for thinking there was no way a Tyrannosaurus Rex could ever be described as cute. Well, the latest LEGO Jurassic World set – 76967 Little Eatie: T. Rex – is here to challenge that view! With 317 pieces, this little gal depicts the dinosaur of the same name from the Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous animated series. This successor to this year’s 76962 Baby Bumpy: Ankylosaur – from the same show – will hit shelves from January 1, and you can pre-order it now for US $24.99 | CAN $29.99 | UK £19.99. You might also be able to find it on sites like eBay or Amazon after the full release date.

LEGO Jurassic World 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull – Tricera-top notch? [Review]

Around this time last year, I reviewed a slightly unusual LEGO Jurassic World set: a fossilised T-Rex skull. I concluded a glowing review by hoping that the fossils line would continue; ideally, in my mind, with my favourite dinosaur – the Triceratops – to come next. Clearly someone at LEGO was reading, as LEGO Jurassic World 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops will grant both wishes at once when it releases next January 1! You can pre-order it now for US $44.99 | CAN $59.99 | UK £39.99 (you might also find it on eBay or Amazon once it does release), and although it has fewer pieces (468) than its predecessor, it does include a whole extra minifigure. Does that make it a good prospect? Grab your fossil-hunting tools, and let’s find out!

LEGO Jurassic World 76965 Dinosaur Missions: Stegosaurus Discovery – a LEGO Stego at last [Review]

As far as dinosaurs go, it’s probably fair to say that Tyrannosaurus Rex is the most well-known. But after that, I would wager that the Stegosaurus has a good claim to be the second most recognisable dino out there. And although LEGO’s Jurassic World theme has been around for almost a decade, the last time we saw a moulded, minifigure-scale Stegosaurus was in a brace of Adventurers sets at the start of the millennium. That changes this June 1st (August 1st in the USA and Canada), when 76965 Dinosaur Missions: Stegosaurus Discovery will start retailing for US $64.99 | CAN $84.99 | UK £59.99. That price gets you 420 pieces, but is it worth more than the sum of its parts? Read on to find out!
