The Jurassic Park franchise has been with us since 1993. Back then my cinema ticket and a tub of popcorn cost me less than £5 and the idea of a LEGO® collaboration that would make T. rexes, brachiosauruses and raptors was probably as outlandish as the idea of a dinosaur theme park. But here we are, over thirty years and several sequels later, a cinema ticket for Jurassic World Rebirth and a tub of popcorn will probably cost me closer to £15 and LEGO movie tie-in dinosaurs are commonplace enough that we now look to tick off species of prehistoric creature from our wants lists.
Available from today, 76976 Spinosaurus & Quetzalcoatlus Air Mission should tick off at least one of those boxes but, as the largest set of the wave, perhaps comparing it to the price of cinema tickets and popcorn is a little unfair. I'll need to add a tray of nachos, a big gulp of fizzy pop and a bag of M&Ms for me and the family, to come close.
