Jurassic World

Easily one of the biggest properties of the year, and no surprise to anyone who has played through to the end credits of the fabulous LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham video game. This year, the long dormant Jurassic Park franchise comes roaring back with a new movie starring Chris Pratt, featuring all of your favorite dinosaurs, and a vicious new addition. The line will release in May, and will consist of 5 sets, each spotlighting a different dinosaur. They are:

• 75915 – Pteranodon Capture – 174 pcs – $19.99
• 75916 – Dilophosaurus Ambush – 248 pcs – $29.99
• 75917 – Raptor Rampage – 324 pcs – $49.99
• 75918 – T. Rex Tracker – 520 pcs – $69.99
• 75919 – Indominus Rex Breakout – 1156 pcs – $129.99

I LOVE this line. The dinosaurs are really well done, and the new stark white Indominus Rex looks fearsome. I also like how LEGO has managed to replicate those really cool spherical vehicles you have seen zipping around in the trailer.
