Lego jurassic park brachiosaurus12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The hinge mechanism is a bit too stiff for that sort of attachment. Every time you hinge the top open to move Minifigures, the modified plates holding the framework in place loosen a little. I noticed that as I photographed, taking Minifigures in and out of the car. Secondly, the framework around the cab is not completely secure. It doesn’t look bad, and the issue is quite minor. They only fit if you raise each of their door-side arms up in the air. You can fit two Minifigures side-by-side, but not comfortably. My first issue with the Jeep is the same as with the car from Dilophosaurus Ambush. The Dilophosaurus Ambush Jeep (76958) is on your left in the images, and the Brachiosaurus Discovery (76960) Jeep in on your right. But personally, I like the clean version a teensy bit more. If you’re building a Jurassic Park, you probably need both variants. The Dilophosaurus set was purposefully built to look muddy to fit the scene it represents. Another difference between this and the Dilophosaurus set is that this car is clean. The frame work around the cab captures the Jeep look better than a brick-built facsimile of a ragtop. However, I like this one a teensy bit more. The car is similar in design to Dilophosaurus Ambush and the cars look good together. Overall, I rate the value for Brachiosaurus Discovery at 63%. It is rare to get a great value Jurassic World set. Of course, Jurassic World sets tend to be expensive, probably due to the large, exclusive parts (dinosaurs) and licensing fees (in this case, Jurassic Park and Jeep). However, compared to LEGO® sets in general, that is a terrible amount of build time for the price. For the Jurassic theme, that is passable, but certainly not a lot of build time for your buck. The resulting cost/minute of build time is $1.49. This species of veriformans has been extinct since the Cretaceous period.”īrachiosaurus Discovery does not fare much better in terms of build time. In general, I average around $0.14/brick. Compared to all the LEGO® sets I’ve reviewed over the years, it is just plain pricey. You pay $0.20/brick at full price for Brachiosaurus Discovery, which is close to average, but still on the expensive side. It used to be around $0.18/brick, now it is about $0.19/brick. The high cost/brick on most of these 30th anniversary sets has actually pulled up the average for the theme by about one cent. ![]() Interestingly, that is now around average for a Jurassic World set. Consequently, you get a cost/brick of $0.20. This set costs $99.99 in Canada and includes 512 bricks. Minifigures need a bit more detail/accessories.įull Review of Brachiosaurus Discovery (76960) VALUE: 63% The articulation on the Brachiosaurus is so-so. The Brachiosaurus is a new LEGO® species. OVERALL SCORE: 83% (Good set even at full price.).ENTERTAINMENT: 100% (Great set with lots of Easter eggs and nostalgia.).MINIFIGURES: 80% (Characters selection is great, but minifigs need more detail.).BUILD: 90% (Amazing Jeep design, okay tree design.).VALUE: 63% (Passable cost/brick, but not a lot of build time for the price.).MINIFIGURES: 3 (Alan Grant, Ellie Satler & John Hammond).THEME: Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary (Jurassic World).True North Bricks’ usual rating system applies ( click here for more information). However, the provision of products does not guarantee a favorable review. NOTE: The LEGO® Group provided this set for review. My expectations were pretty high before getting this set. Then there’s also the Jurassic Park Jeep. ![]() Sets with new dino figurines always shoot to the top of my wish list. Jurassic Week continues here at True North Bricks with a look at the all new Brachiosaurus Discovery (76960) set! When the LEGO® Group announced the Jurassic Park 30th anniversary sets back in March, this set caught my interest first. ![]()
