Redbeards_Rum Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I am quite disappointed that the lego ideas didn't pass the jurassic park set. I was really hoping that it would kick start a new line. Quote
Boettner Builds Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I was just at toys r us. They are in fact stickers and I am also too old to build one :( I have no young kids and no gate! Quote
just2good Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah, it's indeed a sticker. But hey, it's a great free LEGO build, I'd say. Quote
elederberg Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 If they wanted the Mosasaurus to be size accurate he would have to be approximately 18.75 inches long because according to the Jurassic World site the T-Rex is 40 feet long, and is 12.5 inches long in Lego form, and the Mosasaurus is 60 feet long. 18.75 inches is huge so I don't see us getting a size accurate Mosasaurus unless he came in a D2C or unless we got a $130 like the Indominius Rex Breakout and then just got a very small structure instead of something like the I-Rex's Pen.

Kalhiki Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Ugh... So I went to TRU at around 12 when the building started. There was a line and.... They ran out before I was able to build mine. They did, however, have some extra stickers and instructions, so I picked up one of each. If I really feel the need, I can just order the parts. Quote
HawkLord Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Looks like according to the TRU ad, the Gallimimus Polybag is free with $30 purchase. This means, I'm probably stuck waiting until the sale ends to see if they show up in a bin for individual sale, like the Rocket Raccoon polybag. Update: I hit the local TRU and they had the polybags in a bin with sign stating to take one to the register with purchase, however the bags also rang up on their floor scanners at $3.99. I took three to checkout and was able to buy them on their own with no additional purchase. Score! Edited June 21, 2015 by Hawkman Quote
knight_40k Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Does anyone know if the Gallimimus Polybag will be availible at TRU in Canada? Quote
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I got my Gallimimuses. I wonder if there's more JW sets coming, since the Gallimimus is a very weird item to make a polybag exclusive. I was also hoping there'd be an Owen polybag so I wouldn't have to pay full price for another Chris Pratt figure. Quote

Yes, its expensive but better than $50… I guess. (More value in the $50 set than in the $25 pack unless you are planing to play Lego Dimensions) Edited June 21, 2015 by Legocity2713 Quote
K-Nut Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 From what I have seen and heard from online, the JW ToysRUs build contains a sticker and no printed piece for the sign. Not surprised. I wouldn't expect an exclusive printed piece with a Promo/Event build. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Not surprised. I wouldn't expect an exclusive printed piece with a Promo/Event build. Yeah, I'm sure thats Lego's thinking too. They probably only had the Bat Signal build because they had some printed dishes from the Batcave that they could spare. Even the old Rod "Torque" Redline from Cars 2 had stickers. I think its safe to assume that these builds, unless containing printed pieces already used in other sets will have stickers. But whatcha gonna do? Quote

They had them behind the customer service desk. $3.99 each! I wish the set included was a little better, but I love the printed 2x2 tile. btw, is that tile exclusive to this set? i can't find it on brickset. Edited June 22, 2015 by ARSLOCK Quote

The tile is exclusive to the Polybag as far as I remember, yes. It's a great little piece. Quote

Very nice little addition. :thumbup: Quote
Lancethecat Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Looking at this size chart, a LEGO Mososaurus doesn't look like it would be that difficult to create a mold for. I think the main reason we won't get a Mososaurus isn't because of how large it is, but because it's an aquatic dinosaur and there isn't really a way to build a set around it. Quote

Using that I was able to figure out that a Mosasaurus made to be scale to size with the T-Rex would have to be roughly 18 3/4 inches which i said in the last page. Quote

But it's quite different from the movie "size chart" Quote
Hellfyre Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 But it's quite different from the movie "size chart" The Mosasaurus is bigger than the I-Rex, as seen in the film's finale.... The Mosasaurus would be longer than the T-Rex mould at least, and I would expect its head to be bigger than Rex's. They could do a mold of it, but scaled down. Quote

Deathleech Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Using that I was able to figure out that a Mosasaurus made to be scale to size with the T-Rex would have to be roughly 18 3/4 inches which i said in the last page. Smaug comes in right around 19 inches all stretched out, but 8 1/2 of it's from his long thin tail alone and another 5 or so is his neck and head. I dunno if the mosasaurus would work because it is much thicker throughout it's entire body. Smaug also ate up most of the Lonely Mountain set's budget. It only had 5 minifigures and a little over 850 pieces for $130. If Lego were to do a mosasaurus set they would probably need to shrink the dino down, the stadium or brick built part of the set would be small, and the set would cost at least $130 (if not much more). Seems like a lot of compromises just to make a set for the mosasaurus that wouldn't have a ton of play features and would be weird since it's a water dino? Edited June 24, 2015 by Deathleech Quote
