As a child of the ’90s, I was thrilled to revisit my childhood memories with the LEGO Jurassic Park Triceratops Research set (76959). This set is an excellent choice for kids aged 8 and up who share my passion for dinosaurs and car toys.
The buildable Ford Explorer toy, modeled after the iconic vehicle from Jurassic Park, is a delightful addition. It’s packed with authentic details that capture the essence of the off-roader, including an onboard navigation system element. The set also comes with two minifigures – Ian Malcolm and Dr. Ellie Sattler, adding to the immersive experience.
The star of the show, however, is the posable Triceratops figure. Its design captures the majesty and intricacy of this dinosaur species beautifully. A unique feature of this toy is the ‘dinosaur poop’ where you can find a hidden toxic berry element. This adds an exciting interactive element to the set.
The buildable Ford Explorer measures over 3 inches high, 6.5 inches long, and 2.5 inches wide, making it perfect for portable play. It fits comfortably in a kid’s backpack, allowing them to take their adventure on the go.
For those who may find building challenging, the LEGO Builder app is a helpful resource. The intuitive instructions allow you to zoom in and rotate models in 3D, track your progress, and save sets as you develop new skills. This makes the building process enjoyable and less daunting for younger builders.
Overall, this set is a fantastic addition to the LEGO Jurassic World collection. Whether you’re recreating famous scenes, role-playing your own stories, or simply displaying the models, there’s something for fans of all ages in this range.
