Dinosaurs are cool. Dinosaurs keep appearing in LEGO sets from time to time for that exact reason. Over time 305 sets have appeared with an association to the word ‘Dino’, of which 102 for Jurassic world! The most popular dinos in LEGO are raptors (74) and T-rexes (85) and various other theropods (two-legged dinosaurs, ancestors of birds).

Far less common are sauropods such as brachiosaurus, for which only 23 sets can be found and Stegosaurus for which we can only see 16 sets! Introducing 71514 Dino Jet, offering you both a stegosaurus and a sauropod in a two-in-one package! With 1007 pieces this set is the second smallest(!) set in the January 2026 Dreamzzz range and retails for AU$149.99/£89.99/US$99.99/€99.99.

LEGO generously gifted this set so we could share our own opinion on it with you. It is cool. It is dinosaur.

Read on if you would like some more details…

The box

Jurassic Park has taught us that dinosaurs do not like to be boxed in, but here we are. This dinosaur comes in an imposing box showing a sauropod (diplodocus ?) on the front and a stegosaurus on the back, and a few overwhelmed nightmare creatures.

The box contains an envelope with instructions and stickers, nine main bags and a plastic bag containing four hexagonal transparent orange panels. The colours of the pages in the instructions show a relatively small section of yellow, for the common part, and two fairly sizeable portions for the two alternate builds, blue and green, so there is quite a bit of rebuilding to be had!

Minifigs, Swords and Creatures

This is the only Dreamzzz set containing Cooper’s orange/red sword and it is shown on the box. Logan and Nightmare Emperor also come with their swords, AND there are two crystal creatures (blue and the unique red) included so this is a good haul for collectors of special items.

The Common part

Right at the start the instructions illustrate the power of the Big-Swords, illustrating how Cooper uses it to conjure his flying craft, which we then immediately start building for him. Notice how the red creature wants to be part of the process but so far is just observing/playing.

The build uses an elegant design to put the sides of the craft at an angle by connecting them with clips, using some precise LEGO math! It makes for a compact and unusual shape. The craft comes with two cockpits, one for Cooper and one for the red crystal creature.

This could have been the only common part but we keep going in the yellow pages and start building a torso of both dinosuars. As you can see in the photos this set is *dense*; there is no gap left unfilled and the torso is completely covered in studs on all sides (apart from the bottom).

Once the torso is complete we see mounting points for a neck, tail and four legs. We now need to decide what type!

Option 1 : Sauropod (long neck)

The first option offered to us is a sauropod style dinosaur. The creature comes into play when the first dinosaur is summoned. The cartoon in the instructions shows how the creature is the embodiment of the larger creature, through the power of the sword.

The build continues with megaroni pieces connected through a pieces that had me stopped in my track for a few minutes. I didn’t notice the ‘turn’ icon and could not figure out how to connect that transparent piece on top.

With the neck complete we add a head, that looks a lot more fierce/and toothed that I would imagine from a long necked plant eater, but this is the dreamworld, so why not. Logan illustrates that this is a big beast, worthy of the title of dinosaur!

After adding the tail we have created Loch Ness, much to the delight of Cooper. Notice how there are some mechanical details appearing along the dinosaur; the lower jaw appears metallic, and there are some mechanisms or pipes behind the ear.

Next up are the legs, showing more robot/mechanical accents, certainly giving a robot essence. With just the rear legs I was briefly reminded of a tadpole, is that weird?

Once the front legs are in place we quickly move on the make four identical feet so that Dino isn’t left feeling incomplete for too long. The final animal resembles, to me, a diplodocus; a sauropod with the neck and tail mostly horizontal. If the rear and front legs would have been swapped, so that the shoulders tilted up, then I could see a brachiosaurus, but right now this is a diplodocus. But this is LEGO, so perhaps someone can modify this into a brachiosaurus for Cooper? We will attribute the split fiery tail to artistic license.

We now arrive at a rather unfortunate part of this set; big stickers on transparent parts. The four hexagonal transparent panels all require semitransparent stickers applied to them. This makes for a nice effect if the stickers are aligned properly on both ends, but (as you can see) it would be a cause of annoyance for some people to face misalignment. Also, because of the transparent parts and the type of stickers you do not have much possibility for repositioning the stickers without completely ruining them.

Past the frustration these panels go into Cooper’s flying craft, which can then land on the back of the dino. Notice how the Crystal creature cannot easily look outside through their windscreen.

I think it’s looking quite likely the blue crystal creature is going to get freed in the following confrontation; the forces seem a little unbalanced.

Option 2 : Stegosaurus

After enjoying the company of the diplodocus for a while dismember the dino down to the torso and start building a new head. This head has more of a beak, which is how I imagine a stegosaurus. Notice this head also features mechanical details but in different locations than the diplodocus.

We attach the head with a short neck in a hunched position that can only move up and down at the base of the neck and only side to side at the base of the head. The tail goes on the other and so that it can only swing side to side.

Adding legs makers our dino a bit less helpfless, especially after we add spikes to the big club on the end of the tail. The feet are the same as the diplodocus’, so if you still have them you do not need to rebuild.

The hexagonal panels go from Cooper’s craft to the back of the stegosaurus to really bring home the iconic look. Cooper gets the fiery tail as wings, but he cannot land his craft on the dino any longer.

I’m not sure which dino I like better. Both have a lot of presence and both are quite limited in their mobility (unfortunately). However I do not imagine that these ancient creatures would be dancing around like flamenco dancers anyway, so perhaps it suits the style.

Conclusion

Dinos are cool, I started with that, so this set has a bit bonus from the start. I haven’t been a fan of Cooper’s mechanical style in earlier waves of Dreamzzz, but I don’t mind it here.

I cannot quite put my finger on it but there is something missing in this set. The entire range of new Dreamzzz sets are great but this one doesn’t quite have the same ‘wow-factor’ I felt with 71508 Fox Guardian, 71515 Tiger Shark Tank or 71512 Crocodile Submarine. I love that we get two relatively unrepresented large dinosaurs in this set, I love the consistent colour scheme and even the value for money is quite good. I give it 4 out of 5 arbitrary praise units because I think 3.5 is a bit too low.

71514 Dino Jet, has 1007 pieces and was released on January 1 2026. The retail price is AU$149.99/£89.99/US$99.99/€99.99.
