"The Gallimimus is one of LEGO's best dinosaur builds and carries this entire set, but a BrickScore of 70.9 and a weak investment track record reflect critics' agreement that the $50 price tag never matched the supporting cast; buy it for the dinosaur, not the resale potential."
The 75940 Gallimimus and Pteranodon Breakout is carried almost entirely by its exclusive Gallimimus dinosaur, which both expert reviewers identified as the set's undisputed highlight. The mobile research vehicle and removable lab module add genuine play value, but critics agreed the $49.99 original price was too high for what the non-dinosaur elements deliver, and investment data is discouraging. Owner sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with 4.8 out of 5 across 2,809 ratings and 96% recommending it, a sharp contrast to the more cautious expert verdicts (Brickset 65, BrickQueen 80).
Where they split: BrickQueen rated the set 80 and called the Gallimimus design excellent, finding the vehicle creative. Brickset scored it 65, labeling the vehicle awkward and the Pteranodon redundant, and recommended buying the Gallimimus separately on the secondary market. Owners (4.8/5 from nearly 2,800 ratings, 96% recommend) rate it far more generously than either expert, likely reflecting the set's strong kid-play appeal for Jurassic World fans.

"This depiction of the omnivorous dinosaur looks fantastic, accurately capturing its slender neck and lithe proportions which are indicative of the Gallimimus' remarkable speed."

Owners overwhelmingly love the set for its dinosaur content, fun build experience, and impressive vehicle with net shooter, though some note the dinosaurs are smaller than expected and minifigures are relatively plain.
