I know the post for this already showed up on the DTB, so check it out for the pictures.
My thoughts:
Won't pick up the skull, my sister would destoy that in seconds.
The baby dino set on the other hand, would be great, and I love that the Baby Ankylo looks more like the one LEGO made in 2020.

Don't forget the new nat history museum! That one is looking really tempting to me...

What's this? A Lego set that does not treat Darius as Owen's sidekick?

The Museum set gives me some Berlin vibes, probably due to the "Brachiosaurus".....
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

The skull reminds me of Postosuchus

Did anyone realize that the Brachiosaurus on the banner was the JP30 Brachio from LEGO.

Yeah the shape of the skull doesn't seem very Tyrannosaurus-like. It slopes down too much I think.

Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

Yeah, I neither expect nor demand accuracy from Lego.

As for the Natural History Museum, I have kind of mixed feelings. It's a pretty nice set, but I just got done with a museum of my own design. I'm still proud of it, but it obviously doesn't compare to one designed by professionals. This is the bus stop on the corner next to my museum:

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

In order to pull off a more accurate-looking T. rex, the model would have to be larger, and thereby more expensive.

Not really for me, but I have to admit brick-built Bumpy is kinda cute.

Yes. I think they should make more brick-built baby dinos, like Beta or the Baby T.rex

I think the new dinos look pretty good.
Although I'm not sure about the face of the Stegosaurus...


crazy8wizard

Weird how the Stegosaurus doesn't seem to have any tail articulation considering the Ankylosaurus from a few years ago did and even the old one from decades ago did. It is cool to finally get an updated minifig style Stegosaurus (officially that is)

Elengassen

That Allosaurus looks creepy. Reminds me of the wolf from Puss in Boots 2:

One day we will know the truth about Spinosaurus... but not today.

An articulated tail would have jacked up the set's price tag even further, sadly.

And speaking of Ankylosaurus, I'm surprised LEGO hasn't yet released a set with an adult version of Bumpy.

Question for those who picked up the skull: Are the teeth hard plastic or are they rubbery?
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

suspsy

They're made of rubberized plastic. They bend, but they're still firm and pointy enough to hurt the skin with enough pressure applied.

CityRaptor

Thank you for the answer.

Sounds like something that may become sticky with time.
