Hmm interesting thanks I did not know that. I would be interested to see your display set-up. I'm not sure what to do with the orange steps yet but I'm almost positive im going to take apart that merry go round ride. My son doesn't use that at all. I feel like the set is missing something, why is Allison randomly there? To feed the triceratops? Did she feed any dino in the show? Why are there random eggs on the top, are they supposed to be fake eggs for the ride? I think it could be cool to use those eggs with the baby raptors and Dr. Wu's lab as some sort of egg hatching/dino birth care center or something. I can't believe how much I enjoyed season 1 of LoIN. It honestly made me want to buy all 4 of the 2019 sets because of the bonding time with my son from watching the show to then playing with the lego toys. I honestly felt like they missed out by not having more stuff from the show into the sets. Other than Dr. Wu's lab, I'm kind of disappointed by the 2020 sets both on what you get and the cost. I think they should have done 2 more sets from the LoIN. Those episodes just ended in March 2020 IIRC for the United States. Could have had a set with Vic Hoskins all hopped up on Pteradon Ptea and 2-3 ACU guys in that Gallimus tank thingy trying to catch those dinos. Instead we get another Owen and Claire. I'm not paying $30 USD for the bi-plane. I'll wait all year until that's on sale for 20-23$ on Walmart or something.

My son only plays with the Triceratops and takes the fence pieces and combines them with his other sets. The merry-go-around doesn't seem to interest him at all. I plan on doing some MODs/MOCs eventually and will break this set-up for sure. Allison is a good fit in the Dr. Wu's lab, plus the eggs and maybe top part with the Eggs. The Info/giftshop sign might go better beside the Hudson Harper/Dilpho set. I don't understand the random orange steps that lead into nothing? It's cool that there's Simon Masrani in the set. EDIT - I also think there's some real options with the seats from the merry-go-around. Those 3 seats could be converted into a ride or maybe a seats at a jurassic world restaurant.

Is it weird that they're not retiring the Baryonyx 75935 set?

@AxolotlPlays Hey dude, I don't know anything about Jurassic World Evolution, I'll have to check that game out. I've been playing the Lego Jurassic Park game and he loves it. So I found another possible Lab Piece - https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/dilophosaurus-outpost-attack-75931 the back of the door has a screen + keyboard. Seems kind of pointless, and might be cooler to be able to walk through that door as an entrance to the gated area anyways? Also, I came across this JANGBRiCKS video yesterday where he puts half the Velociraptor set besides Wu's Stygimoloch set. I'll probably try to do a similar set-up.

Dude!!!!! 100%!!!! I've been thinking about that all the time. I just ran and took these Photos of our current play set-up. My son takes all the gates/fences from all the sets and makes a perimeter first. Combination of the Stygimoch lab, Triceratops rampage, Raptor escape, and the Dilophosaurus gates. Unintended, some of them do physically connect with each other quite nice. https://ibb.co/DLmrKtQ https://ibb.co/TYC6SMN https://ibb.co/P48K9qx I don't have a problem if the yearly sets are different but I think if they release 4 sets per yearly wave, then those sets should be designed to be combined somehow. I really agree with your thoughts about the kids and playing with these Legos. My son wanted the Triceratops so bad, but he never touches that merry-go-round ride. He just wants the dinosaurs and the fences/minifigures. This is why I really like the Jurassic World Junior/4+ sets. They're decently prized, easy to them to build without much supervision. My son literally just wants the Indoraptor because of all of the custom MOC/MOD videos of it on youtube. His favorite sets are the Blue helicopter and T-Rex Transport. He flys/transports dinosaurs all over the house and into/out of the cages.

Well said, we are very big noobies with trying to do MODs/MOCs. I could see taking apart the Lockwood Estate and making something else with like, like a Dinosaur Vet hospital or something. Maybe taking the triceratops skull and putting it with the Triceratops rampage set or something like that. 2015 - I agree about these sets, they seem REALLY COOL for 2015, but I think new sets have replaced their need. T-Rex Tracker (2015) --> T-Rex Transport (2018) // Raptor Rampage (2015) --> I like the truck from the Carnotaurus Gyrosphere (2018) much better. The only 2015 set I have is the Raptor Escape because of the gate/fence is kind of cool, but I had to pay 150% retail for the set off eBay. *EDIT* - I also think the 2015 sets are cool because they appear in the Indominus Escape Lego short film. Have you broken up or used the velociraptor set in any MODs/MOCs? Thanks, -Nizzy

Wow thanks man, great post. I'd love to see a photo(s) of what you've built! My son would probably like that too and maybe we can re-create. I didn't even know about the Lab in the Lockwood Estate. My son is almost 5, and I didn't get that set because it feels more of like a display than something he can play with at his age. And, again, another Owen and Blue raptor that we already have. I just bought the Indoraptor individual figure off eBay. I watched the Lockwood Estate on youtube, didn't even know about that Lab section! Looks really sweet though. Maybe it will be on sale somewhere and I'll grab it. I also really like the I-Rex Breakout (2015) just seems really expensive off eBay, where is the lab for that in the top watch tower? So the set that I like the most is probably the Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (2018) but surprisingly, my son NEVER touches this set, as hes never seen the movies yet. I'm considering breaking this set-up completely as you said. Use the Embyro Cold Storage section as part of Wu's Lab maybe. 75932 is such a cool set but it doesn't seem like it flows/plays well? Maybe you can take that middle triangle section with the door that locks and merge it with another set.

Thanks for your post, this is sweet and the reason I signed-up. Why do you think LEGO would completely make up 3 sets? I originally didn't like the 2019 sets, THEN I watched the Isla of Nublar series with my son and it made me want to purchased all of them. I actually think they could have added more stuff from the show into the sets. There could have been something about the Pteranodon Ptea, Larson Mitchell isn't in a single set, & I would have liked the Allosaurus (its in 3 episodes!) vs Dino-Mech instead. I wish the Baby Dilophosaurus set would have Vic Hoskins in replace of Owen Grady. Owen never rode that Drone Copter in the show (IIRC). I can't stand that every single set from 2019 & 2020 has an Owen Grady. What is your kid going to do with 8 Owen Grady's? Most of which have the same outfits. 2020 - Already ordered Dr. Wu's Lab, and I-Rex vs Ankylo set. I'm very on the fence with the Biplane Rescue set. $30 for 101 pieces? For another Owen, another Raptor, and another Sinjin? This set doesn't make much sense to me other than it being for juniors/4+. I'm going to wait until its on discount eventually. I don't really like the Gallimimus set, $50 for a small Dinosaur and the 5th Pteranodon from the Jurassic World sets. I think the removable mini-lab is kind of cool but I don't really like the research vehicle. I love your Dr. Wu's Lab + Stygi lab combination. I don't have the skills or parts to mirror your build. I'd like to do something like that and also add Zia's lab tab from the T-Rex transport set as well. Did you consider anything else like that? Thanks, -Nizzy
