Pteranodon Chase

"With a BrickScore of 40.1, Pteranodon Chase is a set that younger kids will enjoy but informed buyers should approach cautiously — the Pteranodon and Owen Grady are the real draws, while the oversized jeep, reused dinosaur mold, and underwhelming net launcher make the ~$20 asking price hard to justify at full retail."

Pteranodon Chase earns a middling BrickScore of 40.1 — a reflection of sharply divided opinion between younger, play-focused buyers who love it and more critical reviewers who find it overpriced and under-engineered. Casual and family reviewers consistently praise the playability, the Pteranodon's looks, and Owen Grady's inclusion, while expert and enthusiast reviewers flag a disproportionate jeep, a reused dinosaur mold dating back to 2012, and poor value for 126 pieces at ~$20. The net launcher is a recurring talking point — kids enjoy it, but critics note it shoots only 10–15cm and behaves inconsistently.

Where they split: There's a clear split between family/child-oriented reviewers on LEGO.com — who score it near-perfectly for play fun — and expert reviewers from Brickset and Brick Fanatics, who rate it among the weaker entries in the 2018 Jurassic World line. The net launcher is similarly polarizing: kids find it fun, critics call it a failed gimmick.
