Dinosaurs have a broad appeal, from the young to the old. Is it the scale? Is it the lure of the relatively unknown? Is it just because we really enjoyed being terrified by Jurassic Park, back in the day? Today we see the official reveal of the largest Jurassic World set to date: the 3145 piece Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex (T.rex) set. This is the largest LEGO® Jurassic World set released to date and offers a challenging and rewarding building experience for fans. Featuring a detailed T. rex fossil skeleton, over 1m (more than 3 feet!) in length, this set is sure to impress both builders and collectors alike. The set will retail for $AUD399.99/€249.99/£219.99/$USD249.99
Seven year old me is very excited. Six year old me would have been excited, but not had the patience to consider such a project.
The LEGO Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils set boasts articulated joints, including a movable head, opening jaw, and posable arms and tail, allowing for dynamic and customisable displays. The set also includes a display stand, an information plaque, and hidden franchise Easter eggs, such as an ‘amber’ piece, adding layers of authenticity and nostalgia.
Fans of the iconic 1993 film Jurassic Park, from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, will appreciate the inclusion of two beloved film characters in LEGO Minifigure form: Dr Ellie Sattler and Dr Alan Grant. These characters bring a touch of cinematic history to the set, making it a perfect gift for fans of the franchise. In addition, the coffee-table-style instructions not only guide builders step-by-step but also include fascinating design details, movie highlights, and T. rex dinosaur facts. Builders can further enhance their experience with the LEGO Builder app, which provides an interactive way to zoom in, rotate models in 3D, and track progress.
The set scrapes over the line for the Largest set using the part count metric: 75936 Jurassic Park T. rex Rampage had 3120 pieces, but was, I guess, technically released under the banner of Jurassic Park, rather than Jurassic World. the T rex in that set was a mere 75 cm long, while the gates were 42cm high.
Certainly, completing your collection of T. rexs has just become a lot more expensive.
The LEGO Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex set is available for LEGO Insiders early access from the 12th March at www.LEGO.com/JurassicTrex and LEGO Stores, and available for all from 15th March 2025 priced at $AUD399.99 / €249.99 / £219.99 / $USD249.99.
I’d love to know what you think of this set: will it fit in your display case? On your shelf? Will this appeal more to the collector of fossils and dinosaur-related artifacts than it will to the standard AFOL or person who doesn’t mind watching Jurassic Park with the kids?
