Holiday Gift Guide 2022: LEGO Jurassic Park T-Rex Breakout

We continue to look at what we think are some of the best non-Star Wars LEGO sets to buy this holiday season, and this time we turn to the diorama of a classic scene from Jurassic Park that celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2023. Each of these new style diorama sets features a quote, and here we get the classic line from Ian Malcom ‘Boy, do I hate being right all the time’.

Unbox and unwind
Welcome to LEGO sets for adults – a zone of zen for hands-on DIY projects. From movie magic to the wonders of the world, pop culture icons and more, there is a LEGO set waiting for you.

T Rex Breakout (#76956) features the iconic moment when the T Rex breaks through the powered down fence with the two Ford Explorer’s and four unique minifigures of Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, Tim Murphy, Lex Murphy plus the requisite brick built poseable T Rex, allowing you to recreate the drama from the famous cinematic scene.

The set measures over 6in (15cm) high, 23in (58cm) wide and 8.5in (22 cm) deep, features 1212 pieces and costs £89.99 / $99.99 / 99.99€.

We think it looks fabulous on display but will offer little play value for younger fans and is aimed squarely at Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs). With many easter eggs hidden throughout the set, it is sure to delight fans of the original film and spark nostalgia.
