We finish this cycle of rapid tests of LEGO novelties Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom with the set 75929 Carnotaurus Gyrosphere Escape (577 pieces - 89.99 €) which features, as its name suggests, an emblematic machine from the film: The gyrosphere.

This is not the first set to offer a LEGO version of this ball that allows you to go around Isla Nublar park, LEGO already provided a copy in the sets 75919 Indominus Rex Breakout  et 75916 Dilophosaurus Ambush marketed in 2015.

This box is not the most expensive of the range and at first glance it offers a well-balanced content with a new dino, three leading characters, a plush vehicle and a little (fake) vegetation.

Regarding the truck, those who had acquired a few boxes in 2015 will find here a Mercedes Unimog type vehicle similar to the one in the set 75917 Raptor Rampage. So much the better for the overall aesthetic consistency of the range. The overly raised chassis doesn't bother me, it guarantees rock-solid playability, even outdoors.

The machine is quite functional with a spacious cabin, a coin launcher on the roof, an opening above the cabin to plug in a minifigure and enough space at the rear to store the mini-command center and some accessories. Nothing flamboyant, but it's playable.

The truck pulls a trailer on which the gyrosphere lands to transport it to the launch area. Why not. The trailer has a futuristic look that's not off-putting, and the gyrosphere, which can be ejected from the trailer, stays in place.

The launching area of ​​the gyrosphere allows (finally) to obtain a little vegetation, even if it is in fact here a decoration based on artificial trees which come to dress the starting station.
This is what is missing from most sets in the LEGO range. Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom : vegetation, however very present on the skins of the sets but very little represented in the content.

If you want to have fun replicating the lava flow that results from the eruption of the Isla Nublar volcano, a few pieces can be dropped from the top of the building via a hatch. It's far from really believable even for the youngest, but it does add functionality to the product description.

To install a character in the gyrosphere, you have to remove the two side discs and half of the shell. The mechanism that allows the minifig to remain seated with its head up works quite well. I spent a few long minutes playing around with it and it's really fun.

The gyrosphere does not break up during its use, even the youngest will be able to subject it to a few violent movements without risking destroying the machine. Be careful with scratches ...

The gyrosphere provided here is identical to those of 2015, with a slightly different pad printing on the side discs to reproduce the cracks in the structure. It is well executed.

The service dino is a unique Carnotaurus, whose head is very successful. This is not a hybrid creature invented for the movie and here again LEGO manages to avoid rendering too much cartoon. Slight shift in the continuity of the pad printing between the body of the dino and the tail on my copy. It's a bit annoying, but we'll make do with it.

This Carnotaurus is in fact an assembly of parts already used on other dinos in the range, some in other colors or with a different pad printing: the legs of the T-Rex, the arms of the Stygimoloch and the body and tail of the Indominus Rex of the set 75919 Indominus Rex Breakout (2015). Only the head is 100% unique.

We will forget the scale problems between the Carnotaurus and the T-Rex, which are of identical size in the LEGO version, which is not the case in the film ...

The figurine is obviously exclusive to this set, collectors will not be able to ignore it. The baby dino is identical to the one delivered in the set 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate.

On the minifig side, no guard or other generic tracker here but a few prominent characters: Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) in an "exclusive" outfit, Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) also delivered in the sets 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate  et 10758 T-Rex Breakout and Franklin Webb (Justice Smith), exclusive to this set.

It will be necessary to wait for the release of the film to judge the importance of the character of Franklin Webb beyond the few scenes present in the trailer.

It's not very original, but the conclusion is once again linked to the public price of this box: The content is very correct, the playability is there and I am tempted to say yes to this box but 89.99 €, again it's a bit too expensive.

Fortunately, this set is already available at reduced price at amazon and you will have many opportunities to be able to acquire it at a reasonable price in the months to come.

We are now done with this series of tests of sets from the LEGO Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom range (excluding Juniors references). I hope at least to have helped you in your choices, or failing that to have entertained you a little.

Note: The set shown here, supplied by LEGO, is included in the game. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before May 16 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.

Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.

We continue today with the LEGO set Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom 75933 T. rex Transport (609 pieces - 74.99 €) which is marketed directly by LEGO and which is also exclusive to Toys R Us (69.99 €).

The particularity of this set is that LEGO having chosen to use the T-Rex mold already seen in two sets of the Dino range marketed in 2012, 5886 T-Rex Hunter et 5887 Dino Defense HQ and obviously in the Jurassic World set 75918 T-Rex Tracker (2015), the truck was built around the dinosaur. I am exaggerating, but I must not be far from the truth.

The truck is also rather successful, but in my opinion it is not at all suitable for transporting such a creature. In what world would a T-Rex of this size sit wisely in its undersized trailer with a very high center of gravity without tipping it over and without destroying the driver's cabin with a jaw?

This truck is far too small to properly perform its mission but the scale gap between the dino and the transport truck here helps make the T-Rex a more impressive one. This is undoubtedly what LEGO wanted to achieve with this rendering chibi of the truck.

Let's stay positive: If we forget the scale problem, the truck is still more interesting than the shapeless machine seen in the set 75918 T-Rex Tracker marketed in 2015.
I guess the dinosaur is loaded with a crane, access to the trailer is only possible from the sides and I doubt a pissed off T-Rex will agree to wisely come and pull over so the guards can close the side panels .

The two side panels of the trailer can also be opened, it is always that taken and we obtain a kind of platform undoubtedly exploitable for other staging out of your imagination. The tractor can be detached and LEGO has provided a retractable stand so the trailer can stay in place.
As a whole, the truck is neutral enough to be used for example on a construction site in a CITY diorama. There is no logo on the trailer and the few stickers present do not directly associate the vehicle with the Jurassic World universe.

In addition to the truck, LEGO provides a small mobile lab with a computer for sequencing dinos' DNA, the side panels of which fold up for easy transport.
The problem is that there is no place to store this lab in the truck. You can still put it in the trailer, but the T-Rex probably won't agree to share the little space it has with this accessory. I would have gladly done without this small construction against a reduction in the public price of the set.

The only identified character delivered in this box is Zia Rodriguez, the film's veterinarian, played on screen by actress Danielle Pineda.
Nice pad printing on the torso of the minifig with a t-shirt bearing the DPG logo (Dinosaur Protection Group). The legs are also very detailed: They are molded in two colors with a white pad printed band on three sides at the level of the feet. The face of the minifigure is successful, we find the big red glasses worn by the actress in the film. For the hair, it is more questionable.

Usual outfit already seen in several other sets of the range for the two goalkeepers with some accessories to vary appearances.

Finally, LEGO delivers here a variant with lighter tones of the T-Rex already seen in the sets mentioned above. Collectors will be delighted. As a bonus, we get a baby green dino also available in the set 75931 Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack.

In the end, a set with a vehicle and a big dino, it's always good to take (on sale). The endowment in minifigs is in my opinion a little light for 74.99 € and a second important character of the cast would have been welcome.

I have received a lot of requests concerning the more than random availability of certain boxes in the LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom in the various specialized brands.

It is therefore an opportunity to respond to all those who are looking for certain sets in their favorite store and find that the box is not on the shelf.

If they are sold by LEGO on its official online store and in the LEGO Stores, the sets 75931 Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack, 75932 Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase et 75933 T. Rex Transportation are "Retail Exclusives"whose distribution has been allocated to certain brands only.

The and 75931 Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack is currently not referenced by any brand.

The and 75932 Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase is only available at King Jouet.

The and 75933 T. Rex Transportation is only available at Toys R Us.

These three sets are still not referenced at amazon (excluding marketplace).

La Grande Recre, Games Avenue et Maxi Toys did not obtain distribution of any of these three references. At least not on their online stores.
If you find the three boxes above on the shelves of the stores of these brands, do not hesitate to indicate it in the comments.

If the situation evolves in the coming weeks / months, I will be sure to mention it on the blog.

We continue this test series of sets from the LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom with the reference 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (397 pieces - 49.99 €).

We know straight away that with this set there is a lot of fun: a helicopter, a quad, three characters and a dino, it will not take more to attract the attention of the youngest.

The helicopter will bring back memories for those who spent their money in the LEGO CITY set 60123 Volcano Supply Helicopter (2016). It is a well-designed machine, easy to handle and whose cockpit opens to install the supplied pilot. It lacks a handle to pilot the machine, but we will not hold it against LEGO: Once the fairing in place, we forgive this oversight.

Ken Weathley will be seated in one of the two seats in the rear compartment and the cage in which Blue is locked can be hung in the rear. A rotating cannon will sow coins everywhere in the living room. It's playable, LEGO has integrated a mechanism to turn the blades of the helicopter, I validate.

Owen will chase the helicopter with his trailer quad and he can try to unhook the cage with his crossbow to free his buddy. The quad is compact but well designed, it is suitable for long hours of play.
The cage whose uprights can be folded down to encourage Blue to fall into the trap while enjoying the chicken thigh is minimalist and a little fragile in use, but it is more than enough for a little fun.

Owen Grady's (Chris Pratt) minifig, here decked out in a backpack, is identical to the one delivered in the sets 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate (139.99 €) and 75926 Pteranodon Chase (24.99 €).
Ken Weathley's is also identical to the version seen in the set 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate.
Finally, the pilot's outfit is the one that equips the guards and trackers in all the other boxes in the range.

The dinosaur delivered in this box, The Velociraptor Blue, is the same one seen in the set 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate.

This set is probably the one with the most to offer in the LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom with Owen, Blue and a rate that could almost be considered reasonable.
After all, the LEGO CITY set 60123 Volcano Supply Helicopter (2016) also offered in its time a helicopter, an additional machine and three generic minifigs for a total of 330 pieces and a public price of 54.99 € ...

I say yes, but at € 35 at Amazon in a few weeks / months, just to keep enough to eat ice cream before going to see the film.

Rex Transport, know that this polybag is currently trading for a dozen euros on Bricklink. Its price on the secondary market will decrease with the overall availability of the sachet.
