AxolotlPlays Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Haha, ill try get it ASAP too lol 🤣 Also Lego has an awesome promotional video for this set on their instagram! Quote
AxolotlPlays Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Also, stbricks.col on instagram has the set early, looks to be a LAN Member, and he has a video with the box and the picture of Rexy in JP has been swapped to what looks like a Rex skull from JWFK Lockwood Manor Quote
Lion King Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Now we have official pictures, this fossil set looks fantatic!! Quote
AxolotlPlays Posted February 26 Posted February 26 We have some new pictures of non-Lego JWR Merchandise, including a mini D-rex so it is confirmed to have that body, which i dont actually mind too much, and more importantly, i believe the first product for our Aquilops, which is named 'Dolores' Quote
imposter Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) How in earth LEGO will make D-Rex. It is almost impossible task and definitely too scary for most of the children. Edited February 27 by imposter Quote

I disagree, i dont think it will be any scarier than the other carnivores, its still a creature, just a mutated one. The question i wonder is if it'll be brickbuilt like the mosa this year, or molded as it is the main antagonist, from what i've seen anyways. Also, i've seen a rumoured Mattel human pack listing for Dr Henry Loomis with a Juvenile Pteranodon, if this is true, i believe this will be a scene that appears in the film as generally Mattel doesnt make many human figures, but if they do they relate to scenes from the movies, anyways, we got a small pterosaur mold earlier this year, i wonder if it'll be reused here?

There is like no reason why we should think that any of the other dinosaurs aside from the Mosa would be brickbuilt. 5 hours ago, AxolotlPlays said: Also, i've seen a rumoured Mattel human pack listing for Dr Henry Loomis with a Juvenile Pteranodon, if this is true, i believe this will be a scene that appears in the film as generally Mattel doesnt make many human figures, but if they do they relate to scenes from the movies, anyways, we got a small pterosaur mold earlier this year, i wonder if it'll be reused here? I hope not. I wouldn´t be against a young pterosaur, but I am certainly not a fan of the one from spiderman, that one is way to chunky Quote

I don’t think that it has been the revealed that the pack with loom is and the pteranodon will have a juvenile instead of a regular Pteranodon Quote

I wouldn´t be against a young pterosaur, but I am certainly not a fan of the one from spiderman, that one is way to chunky Just the D-rex, Lego will have to do a D-rex because it is a main part of this film, the main two options for how it is created are either specially molded, or more likely brickbuilt. And I personally believe because of its size, and the fact that the door is now open because of brick built Mosa, that the D-rex will be brick built too. They might do mainly brick built with a new head etc, but if they molded it, it would be downsized. If thats the case then i'd also be a little annoyed that the budget went into creating molds for D-rex instead of a Mosa, but that last part is just my gripe. I see what you mean, it is quite chunky lol, but im not sure if Lego would make another mold when they love to reuse pieces, maybe if we can get a new smaller mold of one standing that could be nice! 4 hours ago, Matichado said: I don’t think that it has been the revealed that the pack with loom is and the pteranodon will have a juvenile instead of a regular Pteranodon Hasnt been revealed by Mattel yet, but an account on instagram expedientes_jurasicos_official has a good track record from what i've seen, and his info lines up with info i've seen in other places, so i do feel quite confident to trust this. He has a post you can see 'Wild Roars' on the first picture, the second picture is human packs Quote
Time Dragon Posted February 27 Posted February 27 A molded mutant could be made with a new chest possibly with the head attached, it would need at least 4 ratchet joints and 2 connecter holes it the front, a Brachiosaurus jaw, Rex arms, tail and legs, and arms similar to the rancors. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 28 Posted February 28 While I’d prefer a moulded creature, I could see them go down the brickbuilt route with the mutant, especially since there already is a brickbuilt animal in one of the sets The main issue with a moulded version would be the limited versatility. None of the new pieces could be repurposed for any other future dinosaur. Then again, they did a Rancor in 2013 and apart from the hands, none of the pieces have shown up since! Quote

Agreed. Cloning humans, while also in line with that theme, was pretty out there as a plot point, but mutations fit in much better I think. I imagine splicing dinosaur DNA found in mosquitos with modern frog DNA could result in some pretty freaky mutations if done IRL, so that fits pretty well (Also, on a side note: how did they get DNA from aquatic species like the Mosasaurus? Not very likely to be stung by a mosquito, were they? ) Quote

I also prefer molds, they are much more unique and feel like creatures, rather than the brick built ones which still have their benefits of course, but i think its a high probability that D-rex will face that treatment 1 hour ago, BrickBob Studpants said: Agreed.

Actually it was first reported on alongside the rest of the sets from before we even had set names for last years Chaos Theory wave if i remember correctly. It came from Fateful on insta, with 9 sets for 2025, of which we now have 76967, 76968 and 76969. The other six we have some info on already 76970-72,73,74,75,76. So its safe to say it'll be a great year for us all! 😁 Hopefully these sets look nice, looking forward to them! Quote

I still wouldn´t take it as granted though. Probably because the existence alone makes me less exicted about the movies already and surely it isn´t unlikely it will be included. One thing that would speak for a brickbuilt creature is that any mould they would need to create for it would very likely never be used again - but we already have seen other one-of moulds, so who knows. 17 hours ago, AxolotlPlays said: And I personally believe because of its size, and the fact that the door is now open because of brick built Mosa, that the D-rex will be brick built too.

I never expected the Mosa to be molded in the first place, aside from the head maybe, and actually since I don´t care about the D-rex at all, a brick build version would actually be better as you can just reuse the bricks - though very likely I will not buy the set it is included in anyways. 8 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: WThe main issue with a moulded version would be the limited versatility.

Natural Mutations, in the case of the D-Rex, it is less of a mutation but more that they messed up by the creation process. Quote

Not necessarily, as there is pictures on Reddit and YT of what the full body of the D-rex will look like through miniature toy leaks. I could see them re using the t rex body with a new head, legs and arms, however the issue is then the extra set of arms that would need to go into the body somehow. Quote
