75936 Jurassic Park T. rex Rampage

For once, LEGO anticipates the inevitable reaction of many fans who will see in the LEGO set 75936 Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage a product largely inspired by LEGO Ideas project by Sami Mustosen aka Senteosan.

This project, which featured the park gate, a few minifigs, a brick-based T-rex and a Ford Explorer, was initially submitted to the LEGO Ideas platform in 2013 and was rejected in the process, LEGO not having then no license allowing it to market products based on the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World license.

In 2014, following an agreement with Universal, LEGO was preparing the marketing of products derived from the Jurassic Park / World cinematographic saga and the creator of the project had put online his creation which had gathered the 10.000 supports necessary for its passage in phase of review within a month. This project was subsequently rejected during the evaluation phase, as usual without a precise explanation of the reason for this rejection.

Today we are therefore entitled to an official statement reminding us that if the set looks like the LEGO Ideas project in question, it was thought out and developed in-house by the LEGO designers and that the T.rex model sold here is in made based on a creation by official designer Mike Psiaki from 2012.

We are also told that "great minds think alike"and that therefore the set unveiled today is not a cheap exploitation of an idea submitted a few years ago by a particularly creative fan ...

Of which act.

Although the new 75936 Jurassic Park T-Rex Rampage set shares similarities in design to the LEGO Ideas submission “Jurassic Park ”By senteosan, this model was developed entirely internally by a team of LEGO Designers who create great new sets that kids and adult fans alike are passionate about. The basis of their model was a large, gray, brick-built T-Rex created by LEGO Designer Mike Psiaki in 2012 when he joined the LEGO Group and from there the model evolved by including the iconic Jurassic Park gates to add additional building experience and value for “Expert” builders.

In our desire to continue to allow LEGO Ideas members to submit product ideas based on third-party licenses, we have in the LEGO Ideas guidelines acknowledged the fact that there may occur unintentional overlaps between products being developed internally by our design teams and those submitted by fans via LEGO Ideas. This is simply because great minds think alike sometimes, especially when basing designs on popular licenses of movies, TV shows, vehicles, buildings and more, with whom we either already collaborate with or who fit the LEGO brand values ​​for potential future collaborations.
