MarvinM Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 How do you post pictures without making a Flickr account? Quote
MarvinM Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I have the Raptor Escape and Raptor Ambush set. Here's the pictures: https://www.flickr.c...th/16715305883/ I also found the Indominus Rex set but I'm waiting for the WS June promotion. Edited May 1, 2015 by MarvinM Quote
Peasantseverywhere Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Thanks, these are some really nice photos. So jealous you've got the Indominous Rex set now :) Quote
MarvinM Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) No, I don't have the Indominous set because I'm waiting for the Winter Soldier promo to buy it. Edited May 1, 2015 by MarvinM Quote
Tom Jurassic Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 The Indominus set looks great, and I love the pictures you took - you show how it is possible to make an awesome setup with just the two Raptor sets. I love how the Indominus Enclosure has a viewing area - I might expand that to be slightly larger when I get the set. Anyone planning to create some paddocks for the other dinosaurs? And who else hopes we will get an ACU Polybag? Quote
Peasantseverywhere Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Oh right, I saw the box photos on your Flickr and thought you owned it :) Quote
MarvinM Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Oh right, I saw the box photos on your Flickr and thought you owned it :) I wish, i was really tempted but double VIP points and Winter Soldier polybag is a hard deal to let pass. The Indominus set looks great, and I love the pictures you took - you show how it is possible to make an awesome setup with just the two Raptor sets. Thanks! I was really glad i got them all. I love how the Indominus Enclosure has a viewing area - I might expand that to be slightly larger when I get the set. I'm not sure if it can be seen in the pictures, but the glass has some cracked parts like its been damaged by the I-Rex. Edited May 1, 2015 by MarvinM Quote

I'm not sure if it can be seen in the pictures, but the glass has some cracked parts like its been damaged by the I-Rex. I did see that - not sure if I like that! Doesn't make the paddock feel so safe. There are reviews of it on Youtube. :) Quote
Domer_Simpsoy Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 The UK prices are ridiculous. What's with the 4 lower priced sets having an exact $ to £ ratio? £50 for 324 pieces... Quote
Tom Jurassic Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Just ordered Raptor Rampage, Dilophosaurus Ambush and Pterandon Capture to collect in Argos after four o'clock this afternoon. Will let you all know what I think of them. Very excited for them - my imagination is alive today already with the possibilities they present! Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 After what must be the most nightmarish Saturday bank holiday rush through Westfield, I managed to grab the Dilophosaurus Ambush and Raptor Escape sets. Would anybody be interested in a comparison photo between the raptors in the Raptor Escape set and the 2 raptors from the 2012 Dino line? Unfortunately, I couldn't bring myself to pay £50 for Raptor Rampage, so no comparison shots between all 6 Raptors LEGO have released... yet. The currently available raptors do look great as a foursome though, so thanks for the pictures I very nearly grabbed Pteranodon Capture also, but, well... other sets took priority, and I'm saving the Indominus Rex set for later in the month. There is only so much I can spend in one go Quote
El Garfio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 The official LEGO shop prices for Spain are prohibitive. If I buy them from a German online shop I would have it for 20% less and in less shipping time (one week). LEGO shop ships to Spain from German and the package in economic shipment takes 2 weeks to arrive. Quote
MarvinM Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Here are some comparison photos with the raptors from the Dino theme for those who might be interested. Quote
SMC Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks, I like the eyes better on the new ones, anyone have all 3 t-rexs? Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Here are some comparison photos with the raptors from the Dino theme for those who might be interested. I already said I was going to do some comparison pics of those? Never mind, you may as well post a picture with all 6 raptors in it, I'm interested to see what they all look like together as one group, ahead of me getting the Raptor Rampage (which is the one set in this line that I'm putting off until I can get a good discount. My friend has one and he says it's worth £35 at most, not £50). Thanks, I like the eyes better on the new ones, anyone have all 3 t-rexs? I agree, upon opening my raptors and comparing them to the 2012 ones, the eyes just look more, well, right on the new ones The old ones seem more cartoony in comparison. I don't have the newest T-Rex yet, but I do have both the older ones. I might be able to get the newest T-Rex in about a week, but there's no doubt others are going to beat me to it And I may as well ask: I wonder if anyone can do a single picture with ALL the dinosaurs from both the Jurassic World and Dino 2012 lines? That I'd definitely like to see. Edited May 2, 2015 by TheOneVeyronian Quote
Tom Jurassic Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Got my three sets! Pternadon Capture is a great set - two very nice figures, and a really cool helicopter which isn't too far from the actual Helicopter within the film, so it is a fantastic piece! Very satisfied with this as a set for £20 indeed. Dilophosaurus Ambush is another great set - the jeep build is fantastic and has lots of nice building techniques used throughout to create a really, really cool model. Very happy. The Gyrosphere is also very enjoyable, and the Dilophosaurus is fantastic! The Raptor Rampage is a nice set - the build is very faithful to the on-screen counterpart, the raptors are great and it is generally a nice set. I must admit - it does feel kinda small for £50, however. LEGO could have benefited from adding a nice interior to the vet section, or making it slightly larger so it could actually accomodate a raptor. Another ACU Member would have been a welcome addition to. Great sets overall - loving this line. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but it appears the Gallimimus polybag will appear in the UK after all, packaged with PS3, PS4, XBox One and XBox 360 versions of the game in a special edition only at GAME. Complete with a £5 markup I might just have to buy a PS3 or XBox 360 version at £34.99 (not as bad as it could be I suppose) and just sell the game, given I don't have any of the consoles to play it on. I'm just glad we are seeing the polybag in the UK Edited May 2, 2015 by TheOneVeyronian Quote
SMC Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I was expecting it to show up at game, it always seems too. Quote
Deathleech Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I am really digging the two new green raptors. The other colors not so much. I think they work pretty well with the Dino raptors. Quote
Tom Jurassic Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Anyone got any ideas on what I could do to add some interior to the rear of the Mobile Veterinary Unit? Quote
Mutant Orc Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 The pricing in the UK is rather awful I think. A lot of the sets look like they should be around a 1/3rd of the price. I don't mind spending a bit more for sets that feel complete and decent but the sets I feel are too lacking to be worth it. Quote
knight_40k Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I picked up the Dilophosaurus Ambush yesterday but haven't got around to building it yet. That was a must have for me. I will probably pick up the T-Rex Tracker next month when its double VIP points. Quote
The Real Indiana Jones Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Haha, I just realized why the new dino is gleaming white... because he is "the new iRex from Apple"... Am I the first person to notice that? Edited May 4, 2015 by The Real Indiana Jones Quote
Kalhiki Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 So. I want to get some raptors. I really like the green guy from Raptor Escape, but not really fond of the set as a whole. Raptor Rampage looks a bit better and comes with Chris Pratt and scientist what's-her-face (I haven't memorized names), but the price is really putting me off (50 bucks? Yeesh). Any recommendations? I may end up getting them both eventually, but what should I start with? Also, any chances of a second wave? Don't recall anything from Toyfair, but I'd like to see more dinosaurs. :) Quote
eldiano Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 No, I don't have the Indominous set because I'm waiting for the Winter Soldier promo to buy it. I thought that promo was for only super heroes line up. Quote
