I find the inclusion of the Jeep Wrangler in this series particularly interesting. As mentioned before, I am not a Technic collector. However, if the LEGO Group has a license with Jeep now, this announcement has potential for Jurassic Park fans as well. While this is pure conjecture at the moment, LEGO Jurassic fans have long dreamed about original Jeep Wrangler and Ford Explorer from the first film. Here’s hoping… What are your thoughts on the January 2021 Technic sets? Feel free to comment below or reach out on social media.
Until next time,
