Anonknee Muss Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Everyone’s favourite dinosaur franchise is returning next year with what is rumoured to be another 3 sets. What an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Edited July 18, 2019 by J4ck
BaneShake Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 I did not see that coming, and I definitely do not mind. I'm hoping to see more based on previous movies, since the new two have been fairly well covered.

Dr Axels Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I've got my fingers crossed for a Spinosaurus. I'd hate for us to get 3 new sets, but zero new dinos. Fallen Kingdom did provide 3 new molds (Carno, Indo, and Stygi), but the rest were repaints of previous. We were bound to get sets for Blue n Rexy, but the Dilophosaurus and Pteranodon sets didn't tie into the film at all. I think the Dilo set would've been better off as a small Baronyx with Franklin and Claire.

There was a set that came with a plane, and another with raptors. So there you have it!
BaneShake Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 What I'd like to see, and it's highly unlikely, is a raptor more in scale with the movies. If the preexisting molds were modified down to about a half-size, with one stud on the back instead of four, it would be close enough; I think arm and leg clips would still have enough room to be the same size, while the head could be done with a Scooby-Doo style rod-and-hole attachment. I realize it may not be a perfect plan, since I have no idea how strong the jaw piece would still be, and cannot guarantee the clips would actually work, but a guy can dream. JP raptors stand roughly human height when upright, deinonychus (the real dino JP's velociraptors are based on) is somewhat smaller than that, and even Utahraptor, the largest known dromaeosaur, is nowhere nearly as big as the Lego raptor's scale compared to a minifigure.
Tom Jurassic Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Praying for a Jeep Wrangler, a Ford Explorer, and a Spinosaurus, super-accurate T-Rex and a Triceratops!

There's a video of bootlegs of the raptor figures scaled down to only two studs on the back. Other than the horrible printing they look and seem to work fine, even able to stand on a baseplate. Though I doubt Lego would make smaller raptors, it wouldn't be too late as every released movie raptor could use some better prints and color choices, especially Blue.
Robert8 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I'm quite surprised to see the theme returning in 2019. I wonder if they will go with classic JP sets or just JW
wesker Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Glad the line is returning even if it is only three sets. There was talk in the 2018 topic of one of the sets being a D2C based on the original film which would be a dream come true for me. Also hoping there will be something from The Lost World as its the only JP movie to never have gotten any sets.

TLW might not have been the strongest sequel out there, but there's good potential for fun sets out of it, I'd think.

I found a video with the bootleg raptors. That would be such an ideal size for what I want; side note, those bootlegs have some rather awful-looking quality. I know TLG would obviously do better than that, but jeez was that weak.
Robert8 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I'm suprised to see Jurassic World is getting a D2C next year Jurassic World 2 sets were a total hit then. Not even Avengers 4 is getting a D2C

Not even Avengers 4 is getting a D2C Ummm I’m not so sure about the avengers 4 not getting a d2c thing...unless your confirming something I think it’s a safe bet that there will be some d2c thing for a4 it’s just not known yet

I know nothing about anything. I just assume, because we already got the Marvel line-up and there is no mention of a D2C
Fenghuang0296 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Well, there was a D2C for Infinity War . . . The Ultron Edition Hulkbuster was a D2C, right? I think it counts. So there'll probably be one. Or at least something on a similar scale.

Considering A4 is the last film for a handful of Actors, LEGO will want to cash in on their characters. It may just be a case of the D2C coming a little later - like the Helicarrier. So - anyone got any theories on the minifigure with the book? I'd love for it to be someone new, but reckon it will be an Owen variant. Also - no release of the Jurassic Bricktober pack in the UK.
RacerRabbit Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I hope we get another set based on the first Jurassic Park. Maybe a playset featuring a T Rex, Electric fence, Ford Explorer tour car and even a collapsing outhouse would be cool!

Anyway, I’m guessing Lowery, Alan in his red flannel and sunglasses, Nedry in his Hawaiian shirt, and maybe Zia without her jacket.
Praetorian_Guard Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) I really hope for a Visitor Center as D2C.(Something like this version from Lego Ideas only a bit bigger would be awesome!) To be honest, I can´t imagine anythin else as a Jurassic D2C. Edited October 7, 2018 by Praetorian_Guard
