LEGO announces a Massive Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinosaur Fossil Skeleton model

LEGO has revealed its largest Jurassic World set yet: a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton that measures over three feet long. The set includes minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant, two main characters from the original Jurassic Park movie, where the skeleton is displayed in the visitor center. It costs $249.99 and will be available on the LEGO Store starting March 12 for LEGO Insiders, and March 15 for everyone else.

No. of pieces and size

The set has 3,145 pieces and is intended for ages 18+, so it’s more for display than play. It also features some challenging building techniques that may be difficult for kids.
Dimensions: L: 105cm (41.3in)  / H: 33cm  (12.9in)

It’s hard to tell the size of the set from pictures alone, but with the minifigures for scale, you can see it’s over three feet long when completed. The skeleton’s skull looks similar to the LEGO Tyrannosaurus Rex skull already available, but the extra parts of the skeleton make this new set much more impressive.

The T-rex skeleton has movable joints, so you can pose it in different ways. The head moves, the jaw opens, and the arms and tail can be positioned however you like. Like most LEGO movie sets, it has a few hidden surprises to find while building. The set also includes a display stand and a plaque with facts about the T-rex’s diet, habitat, and more.
