Jurassic World 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion
BasiliskSoldier replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
If we get the Innovation Center over the Classic Visitor's Centre, I'd be mildly disappointed. Unless the Innovation Center's coming with a Mosasaurus or a Sauropod. Those'd be pretty cool. -
Jurassic World 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion
BasiliskSoldier replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Honestly, I think we'll see a lot of the same. Baryonyx looks likely, and Mosasaurus might be possible, but I'd be shocked if we got anything new besides those. They've done most of the Carnivores, and the common wisdom with Herbivores is that they don't sell as well as Carnivores, which isn't helped by them only really fitting into bigger sets. Maybe we'll see them re-use the Trike mould, but I don't think we'll see Stego or Anky. And even though Brachiosaurus would be awesome, I don't think there's any chance of seeing that. -

My predictions 75934, Dilophosaurus set with Gas Jeep and east dock sign. 75935, Triceratops set with Tour Vehicle and fence. 75935, D2C Classic Visitor's center with Tyrannosaurus and Raptor. 75937, Bunker with Baryonyx 75938, Transport Ship with Mosasaurus. -
He's tall, but he's still within the bounds of a minifigure. A new moulded arm for the regular minifigure is probably all he'll get.

Wish they'd made a new hood mould for reaper. Really not liking that printed face.

Allosaurus would be a lot more justifiable as a rex sized creature than Carno honestly. Some species of Allosaurus could get as large as a Tyrannosaurus, while Carnotaurus would have been a good deal smaller. But yeah I feel like LEGO should have just bit the bullet and made a mid-size theropod mould that could be used for Carnotaurus, Allosaurus and Baryonyx. -

I don't see it for the D2C, though I guess it's possible. If it's not in the D2C it probably isn't in the wave. I'm wondering what Lego would do for an Allosaurus, if they'd use the Indoraptor/Baryonyx moulds or the Tyrannosaur/Carnotaur moulds -

I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to be disappointed in the Dinosaurs this wave. Baryonyx is cool, but that's probably it. D2C is probably Tyrannosaurus and maybe a Raptor, and the other set is probably another Raptor. D2C is probably the only set we could see a Brachiosaur or Mosasaur in, and it seems unlikely we'll get either. Hopefully the Rex will have a new print, I haven't liked either of the JW Rexes so far. -

I could see a Mosasaurus, either in a D2C set or a set in the same price range as lockwood manor or the Indominus escape (maybe of that boat that took the dinosaurs off the island in Fallen Kingdom?). I'd hope for the latter, because if a Mosasaurus is in the D2C it would be the Innovation Center from Jurassic World, not the Visitor's Center from Jurassic Park. If it's the latter, that'd put Baryonyx in the smallest set of the wave, which it'd still be around the same size as the Carnotaurus set. -

I'm thinking that if there were any other new dinosaurs alongside the Baryonyx, the Secret Exhibit trailer would have shown them off. I think we'd have seen a Sinoceratops or Mosasaurus if they were making one. Plus, I don't think there's space: We've got the D2C set, which is almost certainly a Classic Jurassic Park visitor's center, probably containing a Raptor or Tyrannosaur or both We've got the Baryonyx set, which is probably around the same size as the Carnotaurus set. That leaves us with a smaller set, which could maybe include Sinoceratops, but it'll probably be another Raptor sized dinosaur. -

I'd be a little disappointed if Baryonyx is the only new dinosaur this wave, but that's certainly what it seems like based on the Secret Exhibit trailer. -

The D2C set would almost certainly be the Visitor's Center. There's a slim chance you could see the Innovation Center from Jurassic World instead, but the original Center is more iconic and more likely to sell. The Secret Exhibit trailer does seem to indicate that we'll get a Baryonyx in a future set, but it also seems to dash chances of us getting a Brachiosaurus or Stegosaurus, considering how horrible the clearly made just for the special models are. I was really hoping for a Brachiosaurus in a D2C set, but that may be a pipe dream. I'd say there's a chance we could see a Triceratops or Sinoceratops, but wouldn't bet on it. I feel like any new dinosaur would be in the Secret Exhibit trailer alongside the Baryonyx, and the Triceratops in the video are blatant colour swaps of the DINO 2012 version. -
I like a lot of the sets, but I think there's some pretty weak figures. Reaper is probably the worst, but I'm not a huge fan of McCree or Genji either.
-
Really rooting for a Doomfist figure. He'd be fun to have.
-
I fully expect to see that Van Brigitte and Reinhardt have been palling around in. This one. Include Reinhardt, Brigitte and a villain of some sort, that's a decent set.
-
LEGO's scale has always been wonky. Personally I think it would make sense if Reinhardt was like Leatherhead or the Mr. Incredible from the video game, one of the pseudo-bigfigs.
-
New Moulds for Weapons are practically inevitable. Each character in Overwatch has a unique weapon.
-
Overwatch has 27 playable characters in total, all of which have over a dozen skins. There is an abundance of material for a CMF series.
-
I wouldn't call Overwatch a mediocre license. Sure it's no longer the new hotness, but it's still a pretty decent property. You can run the theme for a few years, maybe do a CMF, there's enough character skins to support at least 3 waves, probably sell pretty decently.
-
Neither is Minecraft, but they're still making sets. Overwatch is a reasonably popular and well known brand, though it's definitely peaked already. It lends itself reasonably well to sets, and has a lot of memorable characters. There's definitely worse options out there.

The new Rexy is a bit pale, but I definitely prefer it to the old one.- 1,290 replies

Liopleurodon was not a Mosasaur, it was a Pliosaur, for one. It also maxed out at around 6 meters. There are also estimates of Mosasaurs in excess of 50 feet, admittedly estimates that are considered unlikely, but Mosasaurs were still fairly large animals.- 1,290 replies

The Mosasaurus will probably be around the same size or slightly larger than the base Tyrannosaurus. Probably same size for head and body but thicker and with a slightly longer tail. That seems pretty reasonable- 1,290 replies
