LOVED (8)

01Re-release of classic 2015 Pteranodon in appealing dark bluish gray and dark red color scheme
02Nice print detail on Pteranodon headpiece
03Careful packaging prevents damage to Pteranodon and head pieces
04Well-designed helicopter with opening canopy and opening cargo hatch
05Rope line attachments enable rescue and pickup play scenarios
06Helicopter cargo hatch allows kids to place figures without precise attachment
07Good print details throughout, including Jurassic World logos and monitoring station display
08Imaginative play value not restricted to single scenario

CRITICIZED (8)

01Helicopter rotor blades are too short (described as 'comically short')
02Pteranodon head cannot angle downward
03Lava blobs require careful, precise assembly to break apart easily; reviewer doubts kids will have patience for this
04Volcano build is very basic and scaled down
05Build experience is extremely simplified and limiting
06Helicopter is essentially one large moulded piece with a few elements snapped on
07Helicopter construction results in crude appearance comparable to brick bucket models
08Volcano build is particularly unimpressive

What reviewers are saying

"This is indeed a re-release of the 2015 Pteranodon from the original Jurassic World movie."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"It is pretty clear from a casual glance at 10756 Pteranadon Escape that this Juniors set does not live up to a regular LEGO building experience"

Brick Fanatics

Ecosystem

2015 Pteranodon — Re-release maintains same mold and playability; color scheme is unchanged, so this is essentially the same Pteranodon in a new set context.

75926 Pteranodon Chase — Both sets use the same excellent Pteranodon mould, though the comparison is not elaborated.

10757 Raptor Rescue Truck — Both sets feature minifigures with slight variations from previous releases (like the ACU minifigure), described as 'just different enough to make you mad' for collectors.

LEGO brick bucket promotional models — The helicopter looks like inspirational models from brick bucket sides, but brick bucket versions use more elements.
