The chase is on! A mighty T. rex has broken loose and it must be captured before it harms anyone. Team up with the ACU troopers in the T. rex Tracker to pursue the ferocious creature. Drive the motorcycle to distract the T. rex, swerving clear of its powerful jaws. Meanwhile, lay out the dino cage as a trap and prepare to fire the mobile research module's harpoon-style trap shooter. You've only got one shot to take down the beast, so make it count!

• Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: an ACU trooper, Hoskins and a vet
• Motorbike also included. Weapons include the vet

Will likely grab the T-Rex off Bricklink as that truck is so ugly IMO. Might be a great play truck for sure, but looks silly for displaying. I think this will be a recurring theme for many of the sets though, aside from the biggest set, and maybe the little Raptor Cage.

 

Box art is a bit funny, they both seem to moving pretty fast judging by the little lines on the tracker and dino to indicate momentum. Where did the T-Rex tracker come from!? behind it is all trees, i don't see a small opening for a truck of that size to get through!

 

In all seriousness though i am still really excited to get my hands on these. Jurassic Park (and Dinosaurs in general) has such fond memories for me and my childhood.

"Don't like this".

 

This set is even less interesting and poorly designed compared to the 5886 set.

 

The interest is all about the T-rex maxifigure, the rest is meh.

 

Maybe with 50% off... otherwise....

I thought the motorcycle was the bait while the truck was waiting at the edge of the forest to shoot the harpoon as TRex running towards it

The vehicle is interesting from a "size" perspective and it looks like it's full of useful parts, but that cage just stinks. From what we've seen in previous movies, a 30 foot tall TRex will eat that thing for breakfast. And whose bright idea was it that you have the TRex head sticking so far out the front giving it the ability to block the drivers view?

 

I'm with everyone else.. if these sets didn't come with Dinos, they'd suck.

These sets, along with the Pirates, are very underwhelming.

Talk about a backseat driver. Ha. I think everything about the vehicle is fine until getting to the cage which leaves an open skeleton in place of anything else like a rocket turret or something. I know, they're meant to trap the thing and keep it alive but some sort of gun battery would be awesome. Honestly I would think the T-Rex's head should be sticking out the back otherwise the driver's cabin will be for lunch.

Well that one had a helicopter which I have to question would such a thing actually work in real life? I was thinking the van looked more like the Triceratops Trapper in the last Dino series.

Definitely agree with most of the rest. The actual set is really dissapointing, and not even that T-Rex will make me buy it haha! Then again, I was never really interested in JP sets.

I'm also disappointed in what I see here.  They should have gone the direction of that Ideas set that is currently under review.  The trex in that version is far and away much better than these dinos that I see in this line.  I'm hesitant to invest in these... I just think episode 7 and scooby doo will be better long term bets.

As an investment, if one of those JP sets:

1. has nice dino(s)

2. is exclusive

then it could perform well.

Indeed it's a mix of these two sets (sort of).

The dino figure will determine how successful the set is and you only have to look at other maxi figures or the current T-Rex sales on eBay (75-115!).

Ex astris, scientia.

Where is the driver of the truck meant to sit?!

It is not good but it is not bad either. I am happy I still have my 5886 though. You can combine the two sets nicely! I suppose.

 

p.s. seeing this I am not too affraid 5886 will drop in value that much.

Looks like this set is available on clearance at my local Walmart for $50. Unsure if I should bite for investing as they had a few.

Is Walmart in the business of clearing out sets two months after they're released? Weirdos. Anyways, it's a decent long term investment which might pop during Christmas if there is a shortgage.

Agreed that it doesn't make much sense. It's mentioned a lot in the Walmart clearance thread.

This set is as hard to land as the Raptor Escape and IR set, IMO.…  I managed to get 2 more over the week, bringing my investment total to 8.

At that clearance price it's an easy flip for a decent return over the next few weeks even if you don't want to hold long term.

This.  Easy quick flip at that price point.

it's selling for $125+ on Amazon and you're unsure if you should buy it for $50?

I bet it's gone by now at the 50 buy in.  These go to over 200 by christmas, if no substantial restock.

Haha except for the 2 low end sets, all are now ship in 30 days and RE remains as sold out. Someone just flip the switch to Sold Out please on the other 3 sets.

I still don't own any PC... already acquired the amount of DA I want to hoard

Target doing preorder for dvd/bluray....will be another spike of sales....

I noticed TRex marked not sold in stores, usually that means its not coming back in store, just ( may be) online only...

Picked up two more today at Kmart.com. They had these, IRB and RR available.
