Matichado Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Im not sure wether to be fuming off or to be hyped. The spinosaurus looks better than it does in the movie and is my favorite, quetz looks good as usual but I preferred it’s older color scheme. Titanosaurus…. I’m not sure how to feel about it. And mosasaurus…. Well let’s just say my dissapointment is immesurable and my day is ruined. Like I KNOW these are supposed to be mutant dinosaurs and THATS my problem. Why be fascinated at how cool mutant dinosaurs are when you can be fascinated at how cool REAL dinosaurs are.. im not asking for 1:1 scientific accuracy just basic proportions and not sails on a Titanosaurus. The mosasaurus which looked phenomenal didn’t get a mold so yeah I’m so pissed off. But yeah spino looks gorgeous. The rest kinda ruined my day. Great follow up to my shiny manaphy smh Quote
mantax Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I was a bit skeptical about these new revealed dinosoaurs, but just now Just2good realesed a video on them, and in the video there was a teaser for the trailer made by lego themselves, which featured that same spino, so all the other dinos should be 100% legit. It's just so great to be finally getting a spino, and I'd say that this one looks really neat, it might be a bit too far away from the JP3 one, but I'm personally just a fan of the Spinosaurus of any kind. I've got some problems with the titanosaurus, as I really wasn't a fan of how they did the Brachiousaurs, and this one basically has all the main problems that I had with it(no movement in the legs, large gap on the neck), So I'd only get this if the set that it comes in look good, and doesn't have that much of a bad price. I don't care about the Quetzacoatlus, as I've got the previous one(which I prefer over this one). A brick built mosasaurus feels really weird, but for a brick build one it still looks neat. And that does make me think if it might be the set with the great PPP, which would just feature the mosasaurus, and there would still be the boat set with 199 pcs $50, but it would include the spino. But it could also be in the way that the mosasaurus would still be in a regular set, which would include the boat and the spino, so then that would make it the $100 562pcs set. We will still most likely get the mutant but it wasn't full revealed yet so it would be shown a bit later just like the biggest dominon set. Also since we have hd pictures of the dinosaurus now, we might see the full sets a soon, so that's something to also get excited about. Quote

THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Lots to unpack here. Frankly, this is one of the most random LEGO wave reveals we've ever gotten—just a few of the dinosaurs, with no context whatsoever, and a small teaser from LEGO's Instagram. Zora looks really generic, can't believe they are still using those awful female faceprints on almost every character. Titanosaurus looks cool, I like the colours, but moulded Sauropods have those huge gaps at the bottom of their heads, which I absolutely hate. Quetzalcoatlus looks bad. I mean, by itself it looks cool I guess, but it's nothing like the one in the movie. Spinosaurus is a surprisingly good-looking mould, the gaps aren't noticeable. Not a big fan of the colour scheme though—it's too dark, and again, looks nothing like the movie counterpart. And now, as a brickbuilt dinosaur lover (the T. Rex diorama is still the only Jurassic set I own), let me tell you that I LOVE the Mosasaurus. It looks fantastic, and I adore the colours. Now, there's only one question remaining—is it a standalone set (just the Mosasaurus, as a buildable creature), or a part of a regular one with minifigures? If the latter, it's a must-buy, and I hope they don't mix it with any moulded dinosaurs. Anyway, I really need the descriptions for those sets. It's all quite confusing, and I want to see how all the dinosaurs are distributed. Quote

Matichado Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Just now, Dinobricks said: Are you sure that means the rest are real? The quetzalcoatlus on the movie looks hideous. I can’t believe they managed to make a worse pterosaur design than the dimorphodon from jw. They had the dominion quetz to take notes from and they fumbled up. Looks like something out of 65 where they claim their dinosaurs are “scientifically tangible” the real quetzalcoatlus was terrifying enough no need to go full kaiju Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 6 Posted February 6 The mosasaurus looks nice as a stand-alone build, but it really doesn‘t fit with the moulded dinos, especially if one of them is in the same set Quote
Koolkoalas Posted February 6 Posted February 6 we know legos patterns with these sets so it’s fairly easy to predict: the £150 will be the mutant and a t rex likely with a lab build the £100 will be the spino and mosasaur with a boat build as seen in the trailer the £50 will be the titanosaurus and some side build the two £25 will be a raptor and dilophasaur ive seen places seeing that it’s a wave of 6 sets so the last set will have the quetza and likely be a nest build and be around £40 this is going off what i’ve seen from info on the sets and me guessing. Quote
Brickwraith Posted February 6 Posted February 6 So excited to finally be getting a Spino! hopefully this means we'll get a JP3 one soon now that the necessary molds exist. I will certainly be getting the Moasasaur/spino set, but the rest i'll need to wait to see what the full set is Quote
Lion King Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I can understand Titanosaurus and Mosaurus not having some love enough. We have Brachiosaurus in 2023 and it’s TOO SOON to remake a Sauron body with impossible legs. I agree about a weird ga at the bottom of its neck. And as for Mosasaurus, if Lego makes molded parts for it, would they re-use. Them in 5 years from now? You can see lego has been re-using dinosaur parts since 2015 - Gigantosaurus gets I-Rex’s head, Baryonyx gets I-raptor’s body, Brachiosaurus gets T-Rex’s tail, Allosaurus gets i-Rex’s body and arms, Ankylosaurus gets Triceratops’ legs. What kind of creature that need Mosauruus’ parts? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 6 Posted February 6 4 minutes ago, Lion King said: What kind of creature that need Mosauruus’ parts? Fair point. A moulded mosasaurus would have needed at least 5 new pieces (head with upper jaw, lower jaw, torso, tail, fins), most of which could likely not be repurposed. I still would‘ve preferred it, but it‘s understandable why they went this route. Better than no mosasaurus Quote
Dinobricks Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Why did Lego only reveal these ones but not the rest? Quote
Whovastron Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I think a moulded head on a brick-build mosasaur body would have looked decent, like the whale in the avatar sets. But I’m very happy with it. I was only planning on grabbing whatever set would get me a Spino, but that mosasaur looks too cool to pass-up, even better if it’s in the same set as the spino Quote
Rune Haako Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Dinobricks said: Why did Lego only reveal these ones but not the rest? Good question, maybe Universal won't let them just yet. Though why that is since we see them in the trailer, but I guess some of the builds could be spoilers. Who knows. Edited February 6 by Rune Haako Quote
Brickwraith Posted February 6 Posted February 6 15 minutes ago, Dinobricks said: Why did Lego only reveal these ones but not the rest? If you look at the article, every toy company revealed their versions of the same Dinos. All of which were clearly visible in the trailer. It was clearly just a coordinated partial merch reveal Quote

If i remember correctly, i saw a molded sea monster in early / mid-2000s - i think it was in a non-licensed theme 9i could not rmeember which). It did look like Mosasaurus or marine reptile from primitive past. After that, we wont’ see it again. Therefore, I could see why lego chose buildable Mosaurus. Even tho we have orca in City theme, not sure what they will do it with that whale killer. 21 minutes ago, Dinobricks said: Why did Lego only reveal these ones but not the rest? It’s no suprise.

Better than no mosasaurus It could still be the smallest set though, since that one has a great PPP ratio, with 339 pieces for 25€. I kind of hope they keep it as a separate set without mixing it with moulded dinosaurs, since that would be a rather weird dissonance. Quote
Koolkoalas Posted February 6 Posted February 6 i predict we will get the mutant on monday after the super bowl and when the special trailer is shown at the super bowl. i can’t wait to see the mould on this thing Quote
Bobdapeach Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) 10 hours ago, Bobdapeach said: Obviously idk the budget for the wave, but given the synopsis of the film, I'd assume [b]the three titans are going to get their own set - Titanosaur, Quetzal, and Mosasaur. [/b]I'm not super familiar wth the moulding process, but can see tweaks on the existing Brach and Quetz mold to save some coin. As for the rest, I'd say mutant big bad is a shoe in, and that makes four potential new moulds... I really want a Spino bad, but I don't know if there's budget there for one? Dominion wave gave us 5(?) new Dinos, the Atrociraptor, Giga, Quetz, Pyro and Theri - and I believe the Pyro, Quetz, and Atroci were all new molds, the Giga reused the Indo's head (idk if legs and arms were new, I know the body was new tho), and the Theri reused the Bary (or Indo raptor) Torso, and reused legs I think? So maybe there IS room to [b]have the big three titans, the mutant, and Spino?[/b] I hope so Selfishly, I'd want the mutant to be brick built - not only would that save budget for other Dinos that they can actually reuse later, but given the fact its a mutant, being [b]brick built[/b] would help it stand out against molded dinosaurs. Also could see the [b]Mosa being half-half[/b], much like Payakan in the avatar 2 sets Ok so turns out I’m a leaker by accident LOL. I’ll take credit for willing them into existence, you’re welcome as for why they just randomly got revealed and not the sets, I’d say the embargo lifted because so much other Rebirth merch and figures got revealed, too. It is weird they just showed the Dino’s and not the sets, so I’d guess it’s part of Universal’s marketing/promo strategy for the film. They just want to show off their Dino’s first Edited February 6 by Bobdapeach Quote
Dinobricks Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Who else feels like the mutant is a huge cashgrab? Quote

THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 6 Posted February 6 25 minutes ago, Dinobricks said: Who else feels like the mutant is a huge cashgrab? I don't think you know what a cashgrab is. It's an ugly mutant monstrosity. It doesn't look cooler than regular dinosaurs (and it isn't suippsed to), especially from a child's perspective. Its merchandise won't sell better than, say, a Spinosaurus or a Mosasaurus. Quote
