Review: 75931 Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack

The LEGO range Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom consists of a whole series of boxes of more or less obvious interest and whose public prices in principle allow all fans to participate in the party whatever their budget.

Billed 49.99 €, the set 75931 Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack (289 pieces) is positioned in the middle of the range even if its content does not in my opinion justify such a price.

I can't help but think that every time LEGO saves at least one vehicle in a box of this type intended for the youngest, the latter does not deserve to be sold at such a prohibitive price. . And in this set, there is no vehicle, not even a simple quad which would have brought a little consistency to the whole.

The "playable" structure of the set comes down to a piece of enclosure with a sketchy gate, a minimalist fence and a gatehouse that does not even deserve this name. LEGO calls it all a "outpost"in the official description. A little pretentious.

The manufacturer also promises us "explosion functions of doors and walls". We calm down. We push on a button, the gate is released. We push on another button, the front of the monitoring station falls. That's all.

The small crane placed on the fence will not help much. We are in 2018, it takes a little more to tickle the imagination of the fans. LEGO doesn't even make the effort to give it a use in the official description, just stating that the guy sitting upstairs will "get off the crane".

The collector will obviously look to the characters and dinosaurs provided. The three minifigs are just two guards and a tracker, certainly well equipped, but whose outfit is identical. The female guard didn't even have the honors of a proper torso. It's mean. These generic outfits can eventually be used to create some agents of SHIELD ...

For those who are wondering, the guard on the left below is wearing the hairstyle of Mister T. seen in the LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack 71251. The same element is also available in red in two Ninjago sets: 70640 SOG Headquarters et 70643 Temple of Resurrection.

On the dinosaur side, the Dipholosaurus is obviously exclusive to this set, just to motivate collectors. The pad printing of the figurine is successful, we once again avoid the side too cartoon.

The baby green dino is also included in the set 75933 T. Rex Transport.

In the end, I say no. This set is way too expensive for what it offers. The reference 75928 Blue's Helicopter Pursuit, sold at the same price, seems to me more appropriate for a young fan eager to reproduce the action scenes of the film. We will talk about this in a few days.
