Synthesized Verdict

"A crowd-pleasing Jurassic World set that earns its Recommended tier on the strength of two excellent dinosaur figures and faithful film details, though a consensus of reviewers and the LEGO owner data alike flag the $99.99 price point as a genuine weak spot for what is ultimately a 537-piece build."

Reviewers broadly praise this 2020 Jurassic World set for delivering two highly screen-accurate dinosaurs, a detailed Gyrosphere station, and strong play features, earning a BrickScore of 77.9 and a Recommended tier. The recurring criticism is pricing: at $99.99 for 537 pieces ($0.186/piece), several reviewers felt the set should have been $75-80. Owner ratings tell a different and enthusiastic story, with 2,509 buyers averaging 4.8 out of 5, though LEGO's own value-for-money signal (3.91/5) confirms the price complaint is real.

What reviewers are saying

Ecosystem

Previous Indominus Rex set — The new version has several changes beyond just color—it's improved over the version from five years ago. Gray with silver accents is a nice variant, though the reviewer mentions white with silver would also look neat.

Previous gyrosphere set(s) — We have seen a gyrosphere before and it was really awesome, but this is the first time LEGO has included the actual ride and ride infrastructure, making this version better.

Indominus Rex Breakout (2015) — The new 2020 Indominus Rex has a makeover with much more grey than white (more realistic), metallic silver sheen, and new hand design. The colour difference is stark, making the original seem very pale like a ghostly dinosaur. The newer grey colour is much more realistic.

Triceratops — Ankylosaurus is comparable in size and height to the Triceratops, with similar belly proportions, suggesting LEGO designers used the Triceratops as a reference point. Ankylosaurus is described as the best dinosaur since the Triceratops.

What Owners Say

Kids and parents love the Indominus rex vs. Ankylosaurus for its large, movie-accurate dinosaurs and gyrosphere play features, but durability complaints about pieces falling off are common enough to be a genuine concern for active play.

COMMON PRAISE

+Two large, articulated dinosaur figures seen as the headline value, especially the new Ankylosaurus mold with a swinging tail
+Gyrosphere and falling trees provide strong interactive play value for younger builders
+Movie-accurate minifigures and set design praised by Jurassic World fans
+Accessible build with step-by-step instructions enjoyed by kids and adults building together

COMMON COMPLAINTS

−Arms and tail of the Indominus Rex fall off easily during play, frustrating multiple reviewers
−Trees tip over with the slightest bump, making it a display-only set in practice for some
−Price considered high for the 537-piece count given the focus is on molded dinosaur figures rather than a complex brick build
−One review reported both dinosaurs missing from the box entirely
