 76951 JURASSIC WORLD Pyroraptor & Dilophosaurus Transport

Jurassic World: Dominion is set to hit the theaters in June, but that doesn't stop LEGO from releasing sets based on the film a few months early. We've already heard tell of maybe 4 or 5 sets, and one of these is the 76951 JURASSIC WORLD Pyroraptor & Dilophosaurus Transport. The set comes with an off-road truck, a trailer, a tiny satellite dish, and 2 dinosaurs. These are the Pyroraptor and the Dilophosaurus. The set comes with 3 minfigs as well, and they are: Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler, and a ACU officer presented as 'Guard' on the box. The dinosaurs also count as minifigs on the box, but technically, they're creature pieces.

What's most amazing about this set to me is that the Pyroraptor actually has feathers here, and we've never had that before, both in the films and sets. The Dilophosaurus remains mostly unchanged and looking good, with the only difference being the printing on the frill of the dinosaur. I'm really happy with what LEGO did here with these dinos, especially the Pyroraptor.

The truck looks a little awkward, with the body being a little high above the ground, but overall, the design is decent. The barring on the front and top of the vehicle gives it a little more of an outdoor look. Additionally, the compartment at the back is loaded with equipment, including a portable radar dish, and a gun. There is enough space in the front for 2 minifigures, which is pretty rare in LEGO vehicles such as trucks and cars. Also, the use of clips as wheel coverings is a great idea, which I have only seen in MOCs. 

Here is a picture of the truck and the trailer.

The trailer looks really cool, and really convincing with all those rods and caps. I've noticed that there is a name on the side of the truck: 'biosyn'. Maybe it's something in the new movie that LEGO here has leaked. Nobody knows. To conclude, this set is great fun with all its gadgets and dinos, and I totally recommend getting this as a gift or as something to display on your shelf. It's coming out April 17th though, so don't go rushing off to your local store just yet.

This  Pyroraptor & Dilophosaurus Transport starts at around $39.99.

31100 CREATOR 3-in-1 Sports Car

 31100 CREATOR Sports Car The 31100 CREATOR Sports Car is a recent LEGO release, and a CREATOR set. I feel the need to review this to be fair to the CREATOR fans out there, including myself. This set comes with 134 pieces, which can be used to build either a sports car, a hot rod or a cargo plane. There are no minifigures included, which may be a downer for some people, but it's totally fine. The absence of minifigures does not stop this set from being great for both play and display. The sports car is a beautiful model, with its extensive detail and sleek design. The spoiler is foldable, which allows this vehicle to quickly change looks, even if the only difference is the position of the spoiler. It rolls along quite nicely, mainly because of the wheels, which are rarely used elements in the world of LEGO. Maybe it's because of the popularity of the classic wheel part. But anyway, we have to continue. Here is the second build you can make, and it is a hot rod. It's burstin...

60324 CITY Mobile Crane

 60324 CITY Mobile Crane CITY sets are back, with more great builds and minifigs. One of these new sets is a mobile crane vehicle, called 60324 CITY Mobile Crane. It's a great addition to your MOC city, considering that a crane like this has never been made. Yes, there was a TECHNIC version, but how are you going to fit that into your city? I'm just talking about good old bricks. Let's get to the set now. It includes 1 crane, a road plate, and 2 minifigures. Not much to it considering how much you'll have to pay for this set, but still, exclusive parts abound in this one. None of the minifigs are named, but you'll find that they still make appearances in the TV show. All of the unnamed figs still get a part in the show, but that's not what we're here to discuss, is it? The crane looks pretty good, if I may say so myself. It has an operating boom and a working winch system, which is great news for the buyers that want to play with this set and not just displa...

60404 CITY Burger Truck

       As I said last article, I would do an article on the new burger truck set from LEGO, so now here I am doing that. It was a bit more overpriced than I initially assumed, so I wasn't too pleased but I guess it's okay. Anyway, before we get to the price, I want to just introduce the set. It's directed towards those 5 years old and up and included 194 pieces. The sole build is obviously a burger truck, or rather a burger van  because of its humble size with a big detachable burger housing the chef. Technically, the vehicle is just a flatbed van that carries a big hollow replica of the products its owners are selling. Anyway, the set, in terms of characters, is standard for these food truck sets from CITY: 2. There is the burger chef and then some random civilian who appears to be in tune with the local music scene (pun intended)      As you can see, there isn't too much to this set functionally (mostly aesthetics), and definitely nothing that w...
