lego_guyon02 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Oof, 250 euro for 3120 pieces? Now I'm wondering if the set even includes dinosaurs, its not likely at this price point

Now I'm wondering if the set even includes dinosaurs, its not likely at this price point Yeah, that is suspiciously cheap, my most optimistic estimations began at 320$ / £280. I'm starting to worry about my Visitor Centre But what kind of JP set has not a single dinosaur? There needs to be at least one, otherwise what was the point? Few possibilities off the top of my head: there's only one dinosaur and a lot less minifigures than there should be, that would be just sad it's the dreaded microscale. As VC is not that big of a building, it would include other sites and places with brick built dinosaurs, like a miniature model of the park. Jurassic World in this case would also make sense - more attractions, clear layout It's a large brick built dinosaur, similar to this
Whovastron Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 3120 pieces! I was expecting a <2000 piece set. Sounds way too big for a visitors centre, unless it’s a full on ‘jurassic Park’ ultimate set - visitor centre façade, T-Rex paddock, 2 tour cars and the jeep, would be amazing. It’s got to be a Jurassic Park Set thought right? They need that collectors market to push the sales that little bit further. Dinos for kids, original movie for the grownups forking out the money.

Quite disappointing in that you'd have to buy additional sets (or just bricklink dinosaurs) to stage the finale, but it would still be better than have it in microscale.
Hoth Rebel Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I wouldn't mind getting a minifig/system scale set with no dino's.. Just as long as it isn't microscale, but then again how can the price be so low as I don't see them make a playset for kids with no dinosaurs.

I don't see a kid buying a $250+ lego set Most sets that cost more than 200 dollars/euro aren't aimed to kids anyway 2 hours ago, BenderBrau said: Hmm... if the Visitor Centre was strictly based on the first visit with no play features referring to the finale (which were partially covered in 75932), one baby raptor would actually make sense.

Honestly, I think this would be the better choice. I already have Roberta from the T-Rex Transport and the Big One from the Velociraptor Chase so I'm all set on dinosaurs for the films finale. Don't really need any duplicates when it comes to the main dinosaurs, especially since they bump up the price so much

Jurassic World is one of the best selling themes in 2018 according to lego themselves and that's because Kids love dinosaurs.
vstat05 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I don’t know if you guys know more about pricing than I do, but I can see at least one raptor being included as well as a baby raptor if there were to be a hatchery room. Besides Rexy, no other dinosaurs have scenes in the visitor center anyway.
Brickwraith Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Are any of these sets supposed to come out 1HY?

Brick Cucumber Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 If we do get a Visitor's Center set as the D2C, it would make sense to get some large brick built skeletal models right? I could definitely see that in the piece count.

Besides Rexy, no other dinosaurs have scenes in the visitor center anyway. At this price point there are definetely no dinosaurs included bigger than the baby raptors, just compare this sets ppr to the ones of the older waves But chances are we'll know what's included tomorrow from the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Fingers crossed!
GamerBambii Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Lego can't release a Jurassic Park/World set without any dinosaurs. And if they do... well, it just won't sell well. Let's hope they don't make that mistake.
Whovastron Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I really don’t think the focus will be the visitor centre. It’s not really iconic, won’t appeal to the general audience. There might be a visitor centre build in there, but it’s not the whole thing, a facade at best

The Silent Mary and Mountain Cave are probably the best examples for that, but they sold well. Wether or not a set sells almost completely depends on the theme's fanbase

Wether or not a set sells almost completely depends on the theme's fanbase I don’t think they did sell well, both retired rather quickly and took a very long time to sell out, in the U.K. atleast. Furthermore, I never said all D2Cs need to be iconic, minecraft sells well in general. Pirates was popular back in the day and people love ships, and Disney probably told lego to do a set for the movie. But look at jurassic Park, Lego has been very reluctant to do sets based on the previous movies, despite multiple ideas sets getting enough votes, and the theme being very popular. If they’re gonna do a big set to satisfy everyone, they’re gonna make sure it’s the most iconic and recognisable stuff, I just don’t think the visitor centre is that. 7 hours ago, Brickwraith said: What exactly do you think is big enough and more iconic then? I don’t know, I still don’t think the visitor centre is though. I adore the first movie, it’s in my top 5 movies and I think it’s a prefect film, but I really don’t care about a visitor centre, I really don’t understand some people’s want for it. The gate, the T-Rex breakout, the cars, that’s whats iconic. even if it is the centre, how exactly will it be 3000+ pieces with just the building, there isn’t exactly much to put inside. The kitchen and computer rooms are currently in a set, and all you have left is the tour chairs and the t-Rex skeleton room. I doubt that would make 3000 pieces. A set with the gates, both tour cars, the jeep, a bit of fence for the T-Rex to break out of, the toilet block, maybe even the raptor pen, could scratch that piece count I reckon.

Do you really think they will make a $300 set on the most iconic scene in the movie, a scene that could also be done below the 100$ price range and would make a lot more money at that lower price point 4 minutes ago, Whovastron said: I don’t think they did sell well, both retired rather quickly and took a very long time to sell out, in the U.K. atleast.

I just really don’t know what in a visitor centre would appeal apart from a more accurate text and Minifigures. If they include the gates and jeeps then sure. and exactly, the silent Mary has been on ‘retiring soon’ since early December and has only recently sold out on shop@home U.K., it’s not that popular a set.

I doubt that would make 3000 pieces Even if they don't include t-rex in the set, the building should be large enough to fit one inside with some room to spare - similar how it was possible to park Ghostbusters' car inside GBHQ. The middle part of the VC should be about as big as the entire Lockwood Estate - that's already about 1000 pieces. Wings of the building should be about 800 parts each at this size, that leaves us with 500 pieces for the car, minifigs, accesories and such. 1 hour ago, Kevii23 said: Or it's a giant brick build trex or even better - creator expert vehicle sized JP tour car with t-rex to scale
