Summary
Legohas released a lot of spectacular sets linked to famous IPs, but you’ll struggle to find one quite as impressive as the one it revealed today. Joining Lego’sJurassic Parkrange, presumably in anticipation of Jurassic World: Rebirth’s release this summer, isthe Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus Rex setwhich will be the biggest Jurassic Park set available today, and it’s not even close.
Lego’s upcoming T-Rex setis made up of 3,145 pieces. Not only does that make it the biggest Jurassic Park set, but it ranks up there with some of Lego’s largest offerings, alongsidethe complex Avengers TowerandJabba’s barge. All those pieces are going to cost you, of course, withorders for the set opening on July 27, 2025(March 12 for Lego Insiders,)for $249.99.
Even though the set is releasing in time for Rebirth’s arrival, it’s a callback to a scene from the original Jurassic Park. The T-Rex skeleton is modeled after the one that’s in the visitor’s center in the first Jurassic Park movie. In case that wasn’t clear just by looking at the set, it comes withtwo Minifigures based on Alan Grant and Ellie Settler, the two doctors among the core cast in the first of the dino disaster movies.

The set also comes with a miniature plaque with the Jurassic Park logo and the finer details about the Tyrannosaur Rex, and even though it’s a set that’s intended more for display than play (try telling my son that as he hurtles towards it with his Lego Mario), the completed Lego skeleton will be fully posable. From its jawbone to its tail, and most of the joints you’d expect to move in between, the T-Rex can be moved around and posed to your liking. Within reason, of course. Don’t bend the tail too much. It is still a very expensive Lego set.
Lego’s Jurassic Park T-Rex joins a handful of announced sets releasing either very soon or promised for later this year.Two sets based on elements from the Minecraft Moviewill be here before the film hits cinemas in April, andOptimus Prime and Bumblebee BrickHeadzare coming to its Transformers range, although neither of them actually transforms. There’s also beena tease from Nintendo for a Lego Game Boy, but that won’t be here until October.
