10/31/2023 0 Comments Lego jurassic world 2023Sadly, Lex and Tim come with the stumpy, unmoving kid legs. The Visitor Center comes with six Minifigures. Pushing a lever causes the banner to fall. The Visitor Center (76961) includes a play feature. I had a few brief moments of satisfaction, but not enough to pass this build experience. It has some interesting MOC parts, I guess. I didn’t learn anything new, and building it last in the series left me feeling deflated after the great sets that came before it. It only has a passing resemblance to the movie version. However, those nice details from the movie simply don’t make up for an inaccurate, rendition of a set fans have been dying to have. DNA and egg computer screen stickers are equally awesome. You also build the incubator in the lab, and get a printed amber brick. Secondly, even though they are in the wrong location, you get nice stickers for the interior windows that look like LEGO-fied versions of the iconic restaurant windows. Firstly, you get the “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth” banner. The Visitor Center is just off, bearing only passing resemblance to the movie.Īre there any redeeming features to this set? Yes, a paltry few. However, it still represents another under-whelming aspect of the Visitor Center set. I suppose if you have either of the older models, its easy to swap this one out. In fact, it reminds me of the brick-built T. Compared to past models like the one from LEGO® Ideas, or even the previous Jurassic World model, this one looks bad. Where is the ornate door? And are those blue bricks on either side of the steps actually supposed to be the fountains? And there is no roof over two thirds of the build. Instead, you get a 1×2 puddle where the water features should be. Outside, the set lacks the stepped water fountains on either side of the door. The turrets are incorrectly proportioned, the interior spaces are laid out completely wrong, and it is nowhere near as impressive as the movie scene. They were immediately recognizable with loads of movie accurate details. Most other sets in this collection were deeply nostalgic. BUILD: 50%Īfter the highs of building Dilophosaurus Ambush, Triceratops Research, and Brachiosaurus Discovery, the Visitor Center was fairly anticlimactic. Averaging this with the cost/brick gives an overall value rating of 45%. You don’t get a lot of bricks or build time for the price. On average, the Jurassic World theme delivers $1.17/minute, while LEGO® sets in general are more like $0.85/minute. At full price, the cost/minute of build time works out to $1.83. I assembled the Visitor Center in 93 minutes. However, the Jurassic World theme tends to be more expensive, clocking in around $0.193/brick. Comparatively, LEGO® sets in general average around $0.137/brick in my experience. Only the 4+ Velociraptor Escape is worse. That is not the worst value in the 30th Anniversary collection… but it’s in second place. With 693 pieces, the cost/brick is $0.25 CAD.

However, the provision of products does not guarantee a favorable review. NOTE: The LEGO® Group provided this set for review. After those, how does the Visitor Center measure up? Let’s take a look. I already reviewed the amazing Dilophosaurus Ambush, Triceratops Research, and Brachiosaurus Discovery sets. The 30th Anniversary collection deserved an 18+ set, and this was the missed opportunity. I’ll be honest, the initial images for this set let me down. One thing is certain, the Visitor Center (76961) is not a UCS set. You know all you Jurassic Park LEGO® Fans out there dream of a UCS-style set. On top of that, the Visitor Center tops the wish list of many AFOLs. It is also the biggest and most expensive set. We’ve reached the final set in the LEGO® Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary collection.
