REVIEW: 76965 Dinosaur Missions: Stegosaurus Discovery

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO Jurassic World 76965 Dinosaur Missions: Stegosaurus Discovery:

THE GOOD:

• Ben's Van is surprisingly fun and very close to what you've seen in the show.
• Finally a Stegosaurus.
• Interesting side builds.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Hefty price tag if without discount.
• Wish there are more articulation joints for the stegosaurus.

With a 30% off discount at our local retailer, a brand new Stegosaurus, too good a deal to pass on.  To my surprised, the van is actually pretty good with fun detailes to reference the show and has some nice details to it.  The way the back can be opened is also very interesting.  Also a very nice side builds of tree trunk with a set up to change the way display it.  The highlight on the side build including a scene of a baby raptor just hatched from its egg.  Also great to have a squirrel as well.  And Finally a LEGO stegosaurus.  There are feedback about the fins but if you have watched the show, you can see the shape is actually very similar to the design shown in the show.  It's a great dino addtion although I do wish it has more articulation joints like the neck or tail area, as current design will be a little be static.  The minifigures are great especially Ben, and if you have bought the Allosaurus set as well then you get the full team.  Brooklyn is missing but I won't get into spoiler territory.  Problem with this set if probably like most Jurassic world sets, is the price tag without discount.  Granted the cost increases due to large dino pieces but $110NZD seems a bit excessive on what you actually get from this.  Having said that, if you manage to find a good deal and a fan of the show, this is definitely a set to have.
