I really had high hopes for these, but they screwed at least half of it, so I’ll fix it for them, this’ll be a long one:
- First set is 75957 Velociraptor Escape, this is supposed to be ‘‘Enclosure’’ for Velociraptors, it’s a 4+ set so yeah…
It’s not cage at all, just a part of it, this is how it’s supposed to look like:
Including the forklift to transport them in cage, crane for cow and a bit of foliage at sides, then the Velociraptor itself has grey colors, Velociraptors in JP 1 don’t have grey colors, they should have used the one from Lego Jurassic World game at least:
Here is an attempt to fix it:
But here’s how it would look like perfectly:
Then the little Velociraptor egg hatching with eye is actually the crocodile/alligator egg, even green is visible, Velociraptor hatching should look something like this:
And here is a Baby Velociraptor:
At least we got a Robert Muldoon figure, and a green frog, frog is in every set, it is a reference to frog DNA used for cloning dinosaurs and they included the quad for some reason.
So all in all, this set should have been way bigger and include the full Velociraptor Enclosure along with crane for cow, cage for transport, forklift, some foliage around or sand with Velociraptor footprints, eventually, eggs with nest with hatching babies with already hatched one if they wanted to, ability to brake the electric wires, 2 or 3 Velociraptors, and Jophery Brown minifig along with other guards and Robert Muldoon, that would increase the price immensely but it would be worth it.
2.Next set is 76958 Dilophosaurus Ambush
This one is really good, we have Dennis Nedry with jeep, foliage, East Dock sign, even has the Barbasol can with embryos, also has white frog, they nailed the colors on Dilophosaurus, only downside is that it doesn’t have articulation except the lower jaw, if they used the big one, it would look like this:
But ideally, they should have made a completely new one to scale and with articulation:
Other than that, only thing missing is a hook on bumper, a tree to put the hook and rope on and a tree where jeep got stuck, all in all, almost perfect set.
3.Next set is 76959 Triceratops with poop
It’s also almost perfect, we have Ford Explorer, pile of poop, brown frog and Triceratops, Triceratops colors are just a bit off, again, they should have used the one from Lego Jurassic World game:
Here is an attempt to fix it:
Even better color, the one on the left is actually clean one with it’s true color, Triceratops is actually dirty:
Here’s the perfect one, they should have made a new head and body altogether, this is the clean one, it should look like this, just with brown colors from the movie:
Other than that, we needed more poop and Gerry Harding figure, if they really wanted to step it up, they could have included another Ford Explorer with fence/enclosure for Triceratops, foliage and Alan, Ian Malcolm, Tim and Lex and Donald Gennaro minifigs.
4.Next set is 76960 Brachiosaurus Discovery
Oh this one… It has the big tree where Alan, Tim and Lex climbed and watched Barchiosauruses and after found cracked Velociraptor eggs which they included, it’s from a totally different scene, it also has jeep, Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and John Hammond, it should have been a few eucalyptus trees included which Brachiosaurus was eating in it’s first scene, also 2 jeeps with driver, Ian Malcolm and Donald Gennaro, also should have included a leaf for Ellie, then the worst part Brachiosaurus… The legs can’t move at all and they reused T-Rex tail… Also, the most obvious one, why tf is it grey?
Here is an attempt to fix the colors:
They should have really used the one from Lego Jurassic World game:
Here’s the perfect one:
5.And the last set is 76961 Visitors Center with Velociraptor
The biggest disappointment here, it’s literally just walls and roof and missing the other Velociraptor(Velociraptor is the same one as in Velociraptor Escape set and should look like the one above also), I really expected a full Visitors Center with interior and everything, like this which was on IDEAS one time:
T-Rex has questionable colors, again they should have used the one from Lego Jurassic World game:
And here’s the perfect one, with new head and tail:
We got Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Tim and Lex Murphy, Ray Arnold(Samuel L .Jackson) and Dr.Henry Wu has a T-Rex skeleton inside and a bit of tables, no Baby Velociraptor tho, it also has a Mr.DNA on screen, Velociraptor mural on wall and we can also see a glimpse of Parasaurolophus mural:
It looks weird, if this is what Parasaurolophus is going to look like when they make him, then idk, the one on mural should look like this:
All in all, Dilo and Trike sets are done almost perfectly, the rest is a big disappointment, I really had high hopes for these as we are waiting for such a long time for sets from first 3 movies and this is what we get? I can only hope The Lost World and III sets are going to be good and not mess up colors, models and whatnot. Bruh this took me too long lol.
