Jurassic World 2015 Rumors & Discussion

[Legocity2713]

I really hope it's not the closest we get to the Original Jurassic Park series.

If so, that is disappointing we'll never get a baby Dilophosaurus spitting Venom at Dennis in a Explorer (C'mon guys, you know that set would be awesome.)

Lmao. Yeah.

[Plissken]

We're having a building event here in the US!

After seeing this picture I did my own version of the gate.

A few bricks I had to guess and one 1x1 with clip isn't the right colour. The plate is bigger and I added a bit of environment.

The Jurassic Park sign was added in post-production ;)

[Kalhiki]

Gosh darnit. I'll be on vacation that weekend. Maybe there's a TRU nearby so I can stop in and get me one.

Really want a second Dilophosaurus Ambush set! Someone help me justify it so I don't feel so guilty about giving LEGO all my money?

Well, 2 of them would mean the jeeps could have a race, the dines and the ACU officers could have a friend, and both models would look great on display together.

Was that convincing enough?

YAS I can race them. XD I'm kind of tempted to try and MOC a Garage for them going with a similar color scheme to the Indominus Rex Breakout structure. Anyone got any idea what I should include if I was to MOC that?

Now here's a first. Many people have erroneously called the Ford Explorers 'Jeeps.' But Dennis was driving an actual Jeep when he died. In the book, he is actually killed by a 10 foot tall adult (it is said to have crests, but frills are not mentioned). It blinds him with venom, disembowels him, then picks up by the head in its jaws. If the details are not excruciating enough, the entire scene is described from Dennis' point of view!

Well, with Jurassic World out tomorrow, I'm sure there will be many more gruesome deaths for our entertainment. The new sets might even be popular with that curious breed of brickfilm makers who like to add disgusting special effects with plasticine!

In other news, my Lego Stego has acquired some real bite marks in its tail after someone mistook it for a Chocosaurus!

After seeing Jurassic World, I'm sorely disappointed with these sets. They're nothing like their movie counterparts.

Warning: MAJOR spoilers ahead

It's clear to me now that LEGO is getting lazier and lazier. Four out of the six sets either don't exist in the movie or are so ludicrously far from the actual movie that they aren't. Raptor Escape (something that never happens in the film) and I-Rex Breakout share no resemblance to what they're trying to convey. I don't even remember seeing the Ford from Dilophosaurus ambush appearing, and the Dilophosaurus itself was a hologram that only appeared for less than 3 seconds! The T-Rex tracker, as predicted, was not even alluded to in the film ad the helicopter in Pteranodon Capture could have easily replicated its movie counterpart better.

LEGO completely disregarded the film, not only opting out of creating new molds for the Gallimimus and the Raptor but rehashing entire concepts from the DINO line for no reason. If this was simply a case of concept art "inspiration" the T-Rex Tracker wouldn't exist. There were easily better choices for the largest set than the I-Rex enclosure, and the one that immediately comes to mind is the Innovation Center, where the laboratories of JW exist and where the final confrontation between the I-Rex, the T-Rex and Blue takes place. Numerous scenes take place there, such as when the Pteranodons attack and is featured far more prominently and is a much more memorable location than the I-Rex enclosure.

My inner ten-year old is still going to make me buy the sets anyway, but LEGO has really dropped the ball as of late.

The designers probably didnt get to see the movie, so you cant really hold inaccuracy against them. As for making up some vehicles and what not, well, TLG knows what the audience wants - dinos and cars.

The designers are, at the very least, given pieces of concept artwork to get a feel for the locations, vehicles or objects they are creating. I would assume they're also given story details so that the sets will have context relative to the film, because they usually do. If you were to apply your logic to, say, LEGO doing doing touch-ups to the Galactic Enforcer set and branding it as a Star Wars: Episode 7 set and saying "TLG knows what the audience wants - space knights and spaceships" I don't think you would agree with it.

LEGO didn't do as well as they could have with this. They really didn't. They're coming close to the levels of Hasbro now (who mind you, attached cannons to the gyrospheres ) and I find that concerning.

I don't really think Lego is responsible for the inaccuracies. Looking at all the other toys put out for this movie a great deal of it relies on gimmicks rather than movie based story play. It's all generic Dino catching junk. To me it looks like the license holder wanted a specific type of play from JW products and the various toy companies followed the guidelines they were given, hence the very bland and unimaginative products we've gotten from most of the various toy lines. Combine that with the secrecy surrounding a summer blockbuster and you've got yourself a line of toys that bares a small resemblance to the final film. Some of these sets look like the studio handed Lego a stack of pictures of vehicles and said "go to town."

However on the flip side I'll say some of the sets are poorly designed, the T-rex set just doesn't look good to me, I will be buying it solely for the T-rex and nothing more. I think Lego could have done somewhat better, but at the end of the day I think the direction the license holder wanted kind of hurt the theme. JP products in the past have usually relied on this weak dino capture idea, I'm not really shocked that they're still stuck on that one point of the series.

[Kalhiki]

It's not like it hasn't happened before. Anyone remember Iron Man vs Mandarin?

I figure it's the mix of movie secrecy and non-finalized concept art with maybe a bit of creative license thrown in. I don't know how set design works, so I'm just guessing.

Frankly though, after I see the movie, if I'm that disappointed with the inaccuracy of the sets, I'll still get 'em. Heck, I figured they wouldn't be accurate to the source material anyway. But I think the sets look cool, so I'll get 'em. I'll probably end up just branding it as another Dinosaur theme except with a JP/W flare to it.

[Boettner Builds]

That spoiler really surprises me in regard to the sets. I have all of the sets allready, but I pretty much bought them only because I wanted the dinosaurs. The "bricks" of these sets will be added to my bulk for other builds, so in the end it's not really a big deal to me. But now I have a bunch more dinosaurs in more colours so when I build my own jp sets it will be a little more exciting.

[HawkLord]

When it comes to these kinds of IPs, it's the figure that are the most important to me. Anything else I can build with the bricks I have. Sure, I don't expect Raptor Escape to even come close to the movie, but it got me two characters and two raptors, the pen I'll just build in larger scale.

I ended up I saying this same thing when I buy some of the Marvel sets.

[Tom Jurassic]

I personally feel that for a Jurassic World line, LEGO have done a stellar job. I haven't seen the film yet, but I am happy with the sets. We got more than enough to create our own Jurassic World parks, and I feel as if that is exactly what we needed. I just hope for some traditional JP sets now.

[TheOneVeyronian]

Personally, I don't mind that the builds are inaccurate to the movie, it's not something that really bothers me with a line like this (okay I haven't seen the movie yet either, it's not out until tomorrow where I am). I was in it for the dinosaurs all along (and as far as I can see, they're pretty accurate to the film, though I think I-Rex could do with being a bit spinier but okay, that's not easy to mould), but I ended up enjoying the builds for what they are anyhow, and I really like the gyrospheres. Overall, if you can swallow the inflated licensed prices, it's a great line

[strangely]

Having now seen the movie I have to say it's pretty accurate with a few exceptions. Honestly the biggest problem with the sets is mostly just that a great deal of those characters appear in the wrong set.

Pteranodon Capture has the right characters vehicles and dino, but the set simply doesn't convey the scenario in the movie.

Dilophosaurus Ambush has the wrong dino and the vehicle should be a Jurassic Park vehicle instead. I'm kind of willing to give this one a free pass as they didn't want to spoil the use of the JP vehicle so they colored it to JW branding instead. Sad to know we were that close to having a JP vehicle. As for the Dilophosaurus I'm really not sure what other dino they could have used. There weren't a whole lot seen in the movie especially in this portion of the movie, so I can't exactly fault them as ultimately they decided to give us a new dino.

Raptor Rampage was spot on.

Indominus Rex breakout was pretty spot on too. The only error is that two of those characters aren't anywhere near that pen.

The Raptor Escape is pretty spot on other than scale. The situation presented on the box is the only thing that stands out as being wrong.

The T-rex Tracker is the only one I feel is completely wrong. That vehicle didn't exist, nor did those characters interact with the T-rex. This set is just lazy. This was a missed opportunity to actually include part of the actual park too, so this is the only super disappointing one out of the bunch.

Ultimately looking at the sets again my only real problem with them is that they didn't include any of the actual park. I am still hoping they give us Jurassic Park sets in the future. The line right now just doesn't feel complete without JP sets in the mix. Maybe they'll give us some next summer, that's all I can hope anyway.

I just came back from seeing the film and have to disagree with you about the sets. I think Lego did a nice job with 4/6 sets, although not movie accurate, still convey what happens in the movie.

Raptor Escape is in the movie, even if the set has a misnomer. It is when we are first introduced to Owen, and the new park employee falls into the pen after attempting to snare the pig.

For me, T rex Tracker and Dilophosaurus Breakout are the 2 misfires. Dilophosaurus Breakout should have come with a Triceratops and a red Jurassic PARK jeep.

Also, the mosasaurus plays a big part of the film and it is a missed opportunity not to feature it in a set.

[Boettner Builds]

Just saw the movie, pretty darn good :) now my view of the sets has changed a bit. I'm not going to give away anything but I will say this: the current sets are pretty close, and there is a HUGE oportunity for a second wave to make this theme out freaking standing!

[Dr.Cogg]

After seeing the movie,

I will say, The Helicopter is way to small, the I-Rex Compond is to small, which I understand TLG had to do, but Dr.Wu and all the holes and tower are not in the movie, the Raptor cage is way bigger in the movie and again I understand TLG had to do that, the truck in the other Raptor set should not have a missile launcher on top, The T-Rex tracker is made up, and the jeep should be one from the first Jurassic Park, I think TLG just added the Dilophosaurus just so people could have that dinosaur.

seeing the movie tomorrow so excited

[Legocity2713]

Gallimimus Trap is pretty cool. is that in the movie?

Also, is anyone gonna hit up target in the US soon to see if they have any extra Dr. Wu minifigures to give out?

When I said "Raptor Escape never happened" I meant an actual Raptor escape never happened.

I'll agree with this, there's still plenty of stuff they could put into a set, including actual parts of the park.

I am wondering if they would be able to do Jurassic Park sets under the JW branding. I mean they included JP branded movies in the JW game, so I'm wondering if they have the ability to do that with physical sets.

[VictorFrenchFries]

I'm pretty sure that Jurassic Park will continue as sets.

I mean, they don't have LotR/Hobbit or The LEGO Movie like last year. The only MAIN ones left are Marvel DC and Star Wars and most of them are now solely based on new movies and spoilers don't allow for much promoting.
