LEGO has unveiled its largest Jurassic World set to date: an impressive T-rex skeleton that spans over three feet in length. This set comes complete with minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant, beloved characters from the iconic Jurassic Park film, where the skeleton is showcased in the visitor center. Priced at $249.99, this set will be available for purchase on the LEGO Store starting March 12 for LEGO Insiders (sign up for free here) and March 15 for the general public.
**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)
Comprising 3,145 pieces, this set is tailored for adults aged 18 and above, making it more of a display item than a play set. It may also feature advanced building techniques that could be challenging for younger builders.
It's difficult to appreciate the scale of this set from images alone. The inclusion of Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler minifigures helps provide perspective, but the fully assembled skeleton truly measures over three feet long. The skull of this set is similar to the LEGO T-rex skull, which is currently available (my son has built this set, and it looks fantastic). However, the full skeleton significantly enhances the overall impact of this new set.
The dinosaur skeleton features articulated joints, allowing for a variety of poses. The head can move, the jaw can open, and the arms and tail can be positioned as desired. Like many movie-themed LEGO sets, it includes hidden Easter eggs that you'll uncover during the building process. Additionally, it 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 yet rival the scale of their LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Harry Potter lines, it's expanding rapidly. Personally, I'm excited to see more adult-oriented LEGO sets like this T-rex skeleton become a part of the lineup in the future.
