2023 marks 30 years since the first Jurassic Park movie was released and you know toymakers aren’t going to let the opportunity to sell us more toys pass. LEGO is no different. In fact, the Danish toymaker has not one, not two but five sets that will let fans and their kids recreate memorable scenes from the 1993 blockbuster.
Expect to find familiar objects, dinosaurs, and characters in LEGO form, including buildable Jeeps, a buildable Ford Explorer, the Velociraptor, the Dilophosaurus, a brand-new Brachiosaurus, and minifigures of Dr. Ellie Sattler, not barechested Dr. Ian Malcolm, John Hammond, Dr. Henry Wu, and Dr. Alan Grant – just to name a few.
