Review : LEGO Jurassic World 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate

Without transition, we continue today with THE big box of the LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom : the and 75930 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate with its 1019 pieces, its 6 minifigs, the Indoraptor, a Velociraptor (Blue), a baby dinosaur and its retail price of € 139.99.

We know that LEGO constantly seeks to optimize the content / price / profitability ratio of its products and there, it really begins to be seen ... Despite a rather attractive visual at first glance, this set to the glory of the Indoraptor n in the end, an imposing, almost empty shell that is more reminiscent of a movie set than the building seen in the film trailer.

I will spare you the description of the micro-spaces presented as elements of playability with "... 3 story building, with configurable walls, museum, laboratory, office, bedroom, removable windows, roof collapse function and a large buildable triceratops skull ..."

As usual, LEGO makes a lot of promises that rely exclusively on the imagination of the youngest ("... Place baby Velociraptor in the lab and perform DNA tests.. "). In some cases, replicating the adventures of our favorite heroes no doubt makes sense. But that's not always enough. What kid will spend hours at"perform DNA tests"Or hide Maisie under the bed in the micro-bedroom after getting her parents to spend $ 140 on it?

It is not a building, moreover, whatever LEGO may say. It is a facade. The various spaces pompously described in the official pitch of the set are often too cramped to hope to play with and function "roof collapse"comes down to a lever that must be pulled to tilt the mini-canopy.
Even the youngest will probably not find what they are looking for. A truck or a helicopter will undoubtedly offer more possibilities. On the building experience side, don't expect the techniques present in a set Structure of the LEGO Expert range, this is not the principle developed here.

Wanting to do too much, LEGO still sells us a dollhouse whose only interest lies in the pseudo-modularity of the walls. Certain elements can indeed be presented in a configuration different from that proposed by default to try to give a little depth to the whole. The idea is interesting.
The problem: LEGO does not provide a baseplate in this box and it becomes difficult to move the set without breaking everything. A base plate would also have made it possible to define more precisely the interior of the building and to plug in the various characters and their accessories to store everything on a shelf.

The museum promised in the description comes down to a hall flanked by two large stickers and a buildable Triceratops skull. The latter is also rather successful. By the way, there are only five stickers in this set: the two brick facades, the two museum posters and the computer screen on the first floor. Nice effort.

The facade of the Lockwood Residence also has its flaws. The two brick inserts are actually two huge stickers. A shortcut that smacks of economy. The two side structures are empty and the interior arches intended to create an artificial depth are really reminiscent of a cardboard movie set.
LEGO has planned that fans might take it upon themselves to flesh this out by placing connection points for Technic pins in different places, but I'm not sure there are many customers who will invest in two or three boxes.

The endowment in minifigs of this set is correct with on one side Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and the little Maisie Lockwood (the one hiding under the bed).
If you want an Owen Grady minifigure in this outfit without breaking the bank, the same version comes in three cheaper sets in the range: 10757 Raptor Rescue Truck (€ 29.99), 75926 Pteranodon Chase (24.99 €) and 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (49.99 €).

Claire Dearing is also delivered in the same outfit in the sets 10758 T. rex Breakout (29.99 €) and 75929 Carnotaurus Gyrosphere Escape (89.99 €).

To accompany our hero duo and Benjamin Lockwood's granddaughter, LEGO provides us with Eli Mills, Gunnar Eversol and Ken Weathley. Not much to say about these three minifigs without pad printing on the legs before seeing the film. We know that Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) is present in many scenes of the film. Ken Weathley, here armed with a hypodermic rifle, also comes in the set 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (49.99 €).

Finally, and because it is especially for the dinosaurs that many will buy these boxes, this set allows to obtain the Indoraptor, Blue the friend of Owen also delivered in the set 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (49.99 €) and a baby dinosaur (the one you can experiment with in the lab on the first floor).
The pad printing of the Indoraptor is not perfect, I note on my copy a difference in color and a shift in the green band printed on the ABS plastic body and the flexible plastic tail. Too bad, especially at 140 € the dino.

In summary, this set is in my opinion way overpriced for what it has to offer. It's an expensive spin-off that gives a few nods to the action in the movie without really turning the scene in question into a real toy. We find ourselves once again with a compromise which is not in my opinion satisfactory: behind the pretty facade presented on the box, there is not much really consistent.
The youngest can have a little fun destroying the building with the Indoraptor provided (all windows are removable) but I still think that the play potential of this set is much lower than that of other boxes in the range, however. much cheaper.
