Baby T. rex Transporter (LEGO 77978)

About this set

This is the LEGO Jurassic World Juvenile T. rex Transport, set number 77978, with 115 pieces and a difficulty of 1/5. The build centers on dinosaurs and off-road vehicles: an all-terrain truck with spiked tires, a juvenile T. rex, and a Jurassic World minifigure, plus a chain and a piece of meat. The box colors are red, gray, yellow, black, and green, with the truck mostly red and gray and the green reserved for the dinosaur. A sensible order is to start with the minifigure and the chain-and-meat accessory, then build the truck chassis and spiked tires, and finish by placing the dinosaur and the load in the truck bed. The trickier spots are clipping the red and gray front panels together and pressing the tires onto the hubs; at 1/5 the steps are broken down well, so newcomers should not get stuck for long. Once built, the bed, chain, and meat form a small transport scene, the dinosaur sits neatly on the truck, and the spiked tires are the most eye-catching part of the profile. It suits players new to LEGO, kids into dinosaurs, and collectors who want a small Jurassic World vehicle; with a low part count it is easy to handle after the clutch is set.
