LEGO digs up a huge new set with LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex

The LEGO Dinosaur Fossils series grows by one more set today with the debut of LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex, a massive 3,145-piece addition to the line. Previously only containing LEGO Jurassic World 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T-Rex Skull and LEGO Jurassic World 76969 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull, 76968 marks the first time in the series where an entire dinosaur skeleton is on display. However, echoing the design of the other two entries, the bones come with a display stand that includes some added bonus beyond the fossil. And this time, that means we get minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant from the original Jurassic Park movie. If you’re looking to start your own museum with this 41 inch-long set (105 cm in metric), LEGO Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex will hit store shelves on March 15th (with early access for Insiders on the 12th) and retail for US $249.99 | CAN $329.99 | UK £219.99

Here’s the press release from LEGO on this new JW set:

The LEGO Group and Universal Products and Experiences unveils the new LEGO® Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus rex (T.rex) set. This set is the largest LEGO Jurassic World set ever made and offers a challenging and rewarding building experience for fans. Featuring a detailed T. rex fossil skeleton, over 1m (more than 3 feet!) in length, the new 3,145 piece LEGO set is sure to impress both builders and collectors alike.

The LEGO Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils set boasts articulated joints, including a movable head, opening jaw, and posable arms and tail, allowing for dynamic and customisable displays. The set also includes a display stand, an information plaque, and hidden franchise Easter eggs, such as an ‘amber’ piece, adding layers of authenticity and nostalgia.

Fans of the iconic 1993 film Jurassic Park, from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, will appreciate the inclusion of two beloved film characters in LEGO Minifigure form: Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant. These characters bring a touch of cinematic history to the set, making it a perfect gift for fans of the franchise. In addition, the coffee-table-style instructions not only guide builders step-by-step but also include fascinating design details, movie highlights, and T. rex dinosaur facts. Builders can further enhance their experience with the LEGO Builder app, which provides an interactive way to zoom in, rotate models in 3D, and track progress.
