76967: Little Eatie: T. rex Set Review
There is a common theme with upcoming LEGO® Jurassic sets. Both of the new releases coming in January, complement previously released sets. With the Triceratops Skull pairing up with T.rex Skull, the set I’m taking a closer look at also acts as a great companion to a past Jurassic World set. Inspired by the Netflix series, Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory, Little Eatie is an adolescent T. rex who first appears in the fourth season of...
76969: Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops Skull Set Review
With no new films in the past couple of years and limited episodes of the Chaos Theory animated series, the LEGO® Jurassic World theme has sought inspiration from the collective Jurassic franchise. It also allowed the design team to try new things beyond simple playsets with dinosaurs in them. Whilst LEGO dinosaur figures are extremely cool they are often surrounded by similar vehicles and minifigures. Next month will see just two new...

With no new ‘Jurassic’ films due this year, it’s fallen to the animated spin-off series Chaos Theory to inspire the latest LEGO® Jurassic World sets. Jurassic World: Chaos Theory is the follow-up to Camp Cretaceous and follows the ‘Nublar Six’ after they leave the island where both Jurassic Park and World were based. Chaos Theory takes place six years after the events of Camp Cretaceous and two years...

In 2020, the world was expanded with an animated spin-off called Camp Cretaceous. This followed the story of six kids left behind on Isla Nublar following the ‘Indomius incident’. Camp Cretaceous concluded after five series and an interactive...
76962: Baby Bumpy: Ankylosaurus Set Review
Ever since Jurassic Park stomped into cinemas in the 90s, it created a wide-spreading universe which has encompassed multiple sequels, video games and animated series. Following the events of Jurassic World, Netflix introduced an animated series called Camp Cretaceous. This followed a group of kids who were on the same island as the beleaguered dino theme park, who were left behind when things went wrong. The show inspired several...
76964: Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull Set Review
It’s always fun when a long-running theme starts to venture beyond its usual pattern of sets to try something new. A great example is this is the much-maligned Harry Potter theme, which does a great job of offering normal playsets and builds that offer something different. Now the Jurassic franchise isn’t supported by any upcoming movies and the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park is over, new sets are seeking inspiration...
