LEGO Unveils Massive 3-Foot Jurassic Park T-Rex Skeleton Set

LEGO has unveiled its most expansive 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, beloved characters from the original Jurassic Park film, where the skeleton is famously 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, comprising 3,145 pieces, is tailored for the 18+ age group, focusing on display rather than play. It incorporates advanced building techniques, which might challenge younger builders. While photos might not fully convey the set's scale, the inclusion of Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler minifigures provides a helpful reference. The skeleton's skull mirrors that of the currently available LEGO T-rex skull set, which my son assembled and found visually appealing. The full skeleton enhances the overall impact of this upcoming set.

The T-rex skeleton features articulated joints, allowing for various posing options. The head, jaw, arms, and tail can all be adjusted to create dynamic displays. As with many LEGO movie-themed sets, this one includes hidden Easter eggs to uncover during assembly. 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 yet rival the size of its LEGO Star Wars or LEGO Harry Potter lines, it is expanding rapidly. As a fan, I'm eager to see more adult-focused sets like this T-rex skeleton added to the lineup in the future.
