LEGO enthusiasts and Jurassic Park fans, get ready for a thrilling addition to your collection: the LEGO Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus Rex set.

Priced at $249.99, it will be available starting March 12 for LEGO Insiders (sign up for free here) and March 15 for everyone else at the LEGO Store.

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, designed for adults aged 18 and above, comprises 3,145 pieces and is crafted for display rather than play. It features advanced building techniques, making it a challenging yet rewarding project. The inclusion of minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant adds a nostalgic touch, reminiscent of their encounter with the skeleton in the visitor center from the movie.

Understanding the scale of this set can be tricky from just photos, but the minifigures provide a helpful reference. The T-rex skeleton's skull is strikingly similar to the standalone LEGO T-rex skull set, which my son assembled and loved. However, the complete skeleton in this new set significantly enhances the overall impact and grandeur.

The T-rex skeleton boasts articulated joints, allowing for various poses. You can move the head, open the jaw, and position the arms and tail to your liking. As with many LEGO sets inspired by films, this one includes hidden Easter eggs that add an extra layer of fun to the building process. A display stand and an informational plaque detailing the T-rex's diet, habitat, and more are also included, making this set not only a visual treat but also an educational one.

While LEGO's Jurassic World series may not be as extensive as its Star Wars or Harry Potter lines, it is rapidly expanding. Sets like this T-rex skeleton are particularly exciting for adult fans, and I hope to see more such offerings in the future.
