a guy from somewhere Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Wow that new trailer is amazing, but it’s painfully obvious that this was what was shown to Lego when making the sets. The biosyn lab, the giga poking its head in, the red truck capturing Beta, the other pick-up getting flipped, the chase set, the £80 Trex breakout with truck (although the T-Rex has been replaced with a carnotaurus) heck even the weird helicopter with the ducted fans on outriggers show up! I guess Lego asked for a bit more marketing material to do the jeep with the pyroraptor, and to fill out the figs. Overall though this has got me mega hyped! Quote

BrickBob Studpants Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) The T.rex Breakout is easily my favourite of the bunch A lot larger than I expected though! Love all the small details they included. The only major flaw are the stickered eyes. Generally I don‘t mind most stickers too much, but facial details should NEVER be realised as stickers, IMO. Sticker issues aside, the brickbuilt T.rex does look great, but I still vastly prefer the moulded ones Edited April 30, 2022 by BrickBob Studpants Quote

It might have happened because the surface of that piece isn't sleek tho. Perhaps they don't print those. Quote
AxolotlPlays Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Hmm, i had a thought today, you guys know how we believe that the camp cretaceous line was supposed to be a wave 2 to the Jurassic World Dominion wave? Doesn't that sortoff indicate that they were already making more sets post-dominion? They probably made the camp cretaceous sets in 2021 to, for a lack of better words, cash in on the show while it had a peak of popularity? Seemingly with each new season (with one exception haha, but that was released after the sets were planned, produced and distributed obviously) im not sure, really the only way to find out is to wait :/ Quote
Johnny1360 Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 So does anyone else have issues with the printed colors on the Triceratops being different than what is on the box, on mine all the red coloring is brown and the little tan spikes around the head plate are light grey. I suppose it's normal considering it printed on dark grey, still you would think it could be better. Quote

Now I can't tell if its dark brown or dark purple haha, I think it is purple, but either way yeah, the box art and other images of it show the triceratops as having a really vibrant red, which isn't the case, though in all honesty it kinda makes it look more natural which is cool. Little spikes, as you have said, are printed on a dark plastic so they suffer the same fate given to a lot of Legos minifigures. Though while we are on the topic of the triceratops, do you think the underside of its head should have been dual molded like the other triceratops'? It being the same colour as the rest of its head and cutting off from the rest of its body which is dual-molded looks a bit strange, though it definitely isn't the worst, I think Therizinosaurus might win in that regard.

Don't have a big problem with that, but heck, his eyes look a bit off because all of the other big herbivores have a yellow dot in the iris and this one doesn't, I know it sounds a bit whiny but just telling, also it's a bit weird that the the first two triceratops from 2012 and 2019 both have grey horns and this one's tan Edited May 2, 2022 by StegoLover Quote

Yeah lol, personally I dont mind the difference too much and honestly, probably better they went with tan rather than grey, im imagining the colours matching on the figure, grey horns looks a bit strange haha, the tan contrasts a lot better.

Though I wonder what species is hiding behind the tree in the bottom left corner? Troodon or something haha, maybe Moros Intrepidus or something dominion related. Also little easter egg, the tree on the right is from the 2020 Indominus Rex vs Ankylosaurus set Quote

Although I don't know if they only appeared on Isla Sorna Yeah ik, I have that set Also, I noticed that one of the Atrociraptors is called Red (obviously not something to mention) but, in the Lego LoIN series Owen has a dog who also was called Red. Coincidence? I think not, although I don't know what it could mean. Awkward is also that after the series he was never to be seen again (maybe eaten) Quote

They were on both islands, fallen kingdom they appear in a few scenes. Its a cliché type of binary opposition to Blue, both the Lego show and Dominion have named them probably for the same reason, who knows if they were aware while naming them. In the Lego show it was probably for Owen to decide which of the pets is better, blue vs red you know. And for dominion I'm assuming they'll have a blue vs red scene or something, but that's just my guess anyways. Uh, I can't remember if red was in double trouble or not but I mean if you wanted to make them like canon for whatever reason, I guess the most logical explanation would be that it died of natural causes or as you said, had an unfortunate encounter while adventuring through an island full of dinosaurs lol, though there are other ways for it to die like falling in a pit for example, we'll just say red got reincarnated haha, get its revenge on Owen for neglecting it jk.

THELEGOBATMAN Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Great find @AxolotlPlays! Told it would be Alan from Dominion Can't wait to get my hands on this book and complete the main trio. Glad I bought two smaller sets instead of the Giganotosaurus one. Quote

Lol, that battle between Blue and Red is like inevitable (much alike Star wars with the blue and red lightsabers), and we've never seen like a fight between raptors before in the franchise and I'm quite interested into seeing what could happen. That's actually a kinda good theory you have there and maybe he just died of getting older yeah, and of course you can always theorize about the blank spots in the storyline and think about what could have happened and all that stuff Quote

Im not really sure how they would fight though, because ive heard that blue will have a very minor role in dominion, barely in the film, also Blue is in America and the Atrociraptors are in Malta as far as im aware, so it wouldnt make sense for them to meet, however it would kindoff be a missed opportunity for a scene, especially with all the symbolic stuff, blue vs red or ingen/masrani vs biosyn, but i guess rexy and the giganotosaurus take that The real reason would be that Red the dog was just added into the show for kids etc, again lego isnt canon to the main story so technically the dog never existed in the first place lol Quote
AxolotlPlays Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 I guess lego predicted the opening scene for fallen kingdom haha jk, funny coincidence though Quote

Lion King Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 What are the best dinosaurs we get so far since 2015? For me, it’s Quetalcoatlus, Indrominus Rex (from 2020), Gallimimus (from 2020), Pyroraptor. Quote

And also 'since 2015', so can we list reprints from the lego dino line? And also by best would you include posability? I would probably say same for all but swap maybe indominus for atrociraptor Quote
