LEGO has unveiled its largest Jurassic World set to date: a colossal T-rex skeleton that spans over three feet in length. This impressive set includes minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant, iconic characters from the original Jurassic Park film where the skeleton is prominently displayed in the visitor center. Priced at $249.99, the set will be available for purchase at the LEGO Store starting March 12 for LEGO Insiders (sign up for free here) and March 15 for the general public.
LEGO Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus Rex
Release Date: March 15 (March 12 for Insiders)
Price: $249.99
Pieces: 3,145
Ages: 18+
Dimensions: L: 105cm (41.3in) / H: 33cm (12.9in)
This set, composed of 3,145 pieces, is tailored for adults aged 18 and above, making it ideal for display rather than play. It may incorporate advanced building techniques, presenting a challenge that younger builders might find difficult.
It can be challenging to grasp the scale of this set from photos alone. The inclusion of Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler minifigures offers some perspective, but it's worth noting that the completed skeleton measures over three feet in length. The skull design closely resembles the existing LEGO T-rex skull, which my son built and looks fantastic. However, the full skeleton significantly enhances the overall impact of the new set.

The T-rex skeleton features articulated joints, allowing for various posing options. The head and jaw can move, and the arms and tail can be adjusted into different positions. Like many LEGO sets inspired by films, this one includes hidden Easter eggs to discover during the build process. It also comes with a display stand and an informational plaque detailing the T-rex's diet, habitat, and more.

While LEGO's Jurassic World collection may not be as extensive as its LEGO Star Wars or LEGO Harry Potter lines, it is rapidly expanding. Personally, I am excited to see more adult-oriented LEGO sets like this T-rex skeleton added to the range in the future.
