Review : LEGO 75932 Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase

LEGO having sent me all sets System de Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom range and the set which makes the link with the 1993 film, you will be entitled to a series of tests which will allow me to share with you some impressions, taking into account that the film has not yet been released and that it It is therefore difficult to judge the relevance of the content of these different boxes.

Were you expecting a big 3000 piece playset with 30 minifigs as a tribute to Jurassic Park? With a Jeep? The gate to the park entrance? It missed. But LEGO does not forget the fans of the first film of the franchise released in 1993 and still offers a small box that brings together some cult places and scenes.

The and 75932 Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (49.99 €) is based on a film already released, the problem of the consistency of the content of this derivative product compared to the content to which it refers does not therefore arise.
It's more of a somewhat messy and awkward digest of what many of us have certainly remembered for 25 years than a real playset, but we have to deal with it.
There aren't all the characters in this little box either that we would have liked to get, but it is after all just a nod for nostalgic fans and not an exhaustive inventory.

The proposed construction does not offer any particular challenge here and is content to vaguely represent different spaces seen in the film Jurassic Park. The control room door can be blocked by the integrated mechanism and the bay window stamped with the park logo is removable.
That's it for the features. Ah, I forgot, you can hide Lex in the kitchen cupboard ... We won't play long with this set, the scene deserves more to be displayed on a corner of the shelf than anything else.

That being said, this little tote playset wraps around a few scenes and locations we all remember: The Jelly Spoon shaking in Lex Murphy's hands chasing between the two kids and the two Velociprators in the kitchen. , the sequence in the control room in which Lex reboots the system while Grant and Ellie fight the Velociraptor trying to break down the door or the theft of embryos in the storage space.

LEGO has even added a bomb of Barbasol shaving foam, too bad it is not pad printed with the logo of the brand while this discreet container used by Dennis Nedry to steal embryos has been the object over the years of many derivative products.

Here we have to be content with four minifigs: Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and the two grandchildren of John Hammond, Timothy and Alexis Murphy. No Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), although the character appears on one of the screens in the control room (You didn't say the magic word ...), no John Hammond even if Richard Attenborough who died in 2014 would have really deserved to have a minifigure in his likeness, no Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) ...

Double face for everyone except Alan Grant who inherits a hat that would have left the alternative face visible on the back of the minifigure. For form, LEGO provides some hair if you fancy ridding the character of his iconic hat.

I note that Tim and Lex are actually not here in the outfits seen in the kitchen scene or in the kitchen scene. reboot of the system. We will do with it.

It is also minimum service on the side of the Velociraptors, two copies would have been welcome to materialize the terrifying scene for my childish eyes during which Tim and Lex play hide and seek in the kitchen for long minutes with the two dinosaurs.

Everyone will also have an opinion on what LEGO could have offered to expand this set, some will regret the absence of the cold room adjoining the kitchen, others the lack of important characters, etc ... endless debate.

As far as I'm concerned, it's really the absence of Dennis Nedry that bothers me the most here, while several elements directly related to the character are present in the set. I have many memories of the different scenes with this somewhat wacky character with a tragic fate.

But you can't have it all, and so I'm happy to be content with this somewhat minimalist set that interests me more for the different winks it offers than for the contents of the box. We had to make choices, LEGO made them for us, we will have to live with them.
