Lego - new for 2019

Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage has officially been revealed! $300 Canadian is painful, but I reckon I have to get this set. It'll be my equivalent of the Millenium Falcon.

The T. rex looks absolutely fabulous, easily the best dinosaur LEGO has ever done. And check out all the lovely details inside the gateway!

I want it.
But at 250$....No thank you.

It has accurate wrists!

Gotta love ball joints!

And yes, it's pricey, but given that it contains more than 3000 pieces, that's par for the course with LEGO.

Added to first page. This isn't really up my alley for a variety of reasons, but it's a beautiful set, I have to say. The little niches in the back of the gate with callbacks to various scenes are the kind of loving touches that make these sets worth it.

Yeah, that's a brilliant touch. If I do end up getting the set, I think I may have to make it a two-parter: one for the T. rex and one for the gate.

Lego has posted a brief video teaser of the upcoming dinosaur skeletons set on their Facebook page. Looks like there will indeed be a Tyrannosaurus rex included in it.

Considering that Tyrannosaurus is synonymous with dinosaurs among people who don't know anything about dinosaurs, it feels like the designer must have made the conscious choice not to include it. So I'm bummed to see it included and I think I'll skip this set as a result.

Lego probably figured that including a T. rex would give the set greater appeal, and thus a greater profit for them.

Me, I hope that the Stegosaurus and Plesiosaurus skeletons are still included. Also curious about the price tag.

Oh, and for those who don't do Facebook, here's a link with an image:

Wow, that was a fast reveal. And I'm afraid some people are going to be disappointed. I know I am. I like the T. rex and Triceratops, but I was really looking forward to the Stegosaurus, Plesiosaurus, and Brachiosaurus that were in the original design.

Still, it is an impressive-looking build!

And here's a review of the set. Lucky Brickset!

The Lego House Dinosaurs exclusive set (40366) is going to be available later this year from the UK web site (not the US one, unfortunately). Still, that makes it a lot more accessible than having to go to Denmark.

Very belatedly, I've added the following Ideas set to the first post:
