Gallimimus and Pteranodon Breakout (75940) came out in summer 2020. The LEGO® Group sent me this set to review last fall, but I only got around to building it recently. A large part of that was snow. Winter does not make for good dinosaur pictures outside. However, the snows have melted. Therefore, I figured it is high time I opened

It’s a Triceratops Minifigure Monday! Okay, I admit that the triceratops is not a “Minifigure” per-se. However, I have gotten a lot of requests for LEGO® Jurassic World coloring pages lately.

Additionally, it features in a key scene in the original Jurassic Park film. My dinosaur collection would be incomplete without it. I waited for a sale since the set itself did not factor into my

I recreated several scenes from the movie. Consequently, the experience put me into a Jurassic mood. I re-watched all the movies. To celebrate further, I dug up one of

Long time readers know that I am a hardcore Jurassic Park fan. The marrying of LEGO® with the franchise is like the clouds parting and a beam of sunlight shining down on me. I often buy these sets just to have the dinosaurs and characters in Minifigure form. While most of the sets are based off the Jurassic World films,

Each year, Hallmark releases a new selection of keepsake ornaments. Recently, they issued their latest Dream Book, featuring all new designs for this year. Like previous years, the Hallmark 2020 ornaments selection includes several LEGO® characters. I greatly enjoyed the last three years’ offerings.

The LEGO® Store re-opened in my neck of the woods recently after the COVID-19 lockdown. On my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised to find the summer 2020 Jurassic World sets already on sale. I was not expecting them until early August. Consequently, I pick up the set at the top of my list: Indominus rex Vs Ankylosaurus. Apart from

It has been a long while since I last shared a haul post. I have been acquiring sets; but they have primarily consisted of one-offs. With the COVID-19 pandemic raging I have not been going shopping much. Additionally, retailers have not offered proper deals since early March. However, I recently ordered a small haul. Incidentally, the savings were not great.
