Tyrannosaurus Rex (LEGO 31151)

About this set

This LEGO Creator 31151 T. rex is a 626-piece build rated 3/5 for difficulty. The finished model is mostly green with a beige underside and black claws and teeth, and the wide-opening jaw shows a full row of teeth. The small forelimbs and the sturdy hind legs with claws are each built as separate sections, and the tail is poseable so you can adjust the stance and balance. It stands on a skeleton/fossil-style base for display. When building, connect the torso and hind legs first, since that is where the weight sits, and press both sides down evenly; then add the forearms and head. The teeth are easy to put in facing the wrong way, so check each one against the box art. Attach the tail and fossil base last. As a 3in1 set, the same parts can build two other models, so sort the green and beige pieces before rebuilding to save time. At 626 pieces it is a manageable build, and the 3in1 format means repeated disassembly, so it suits dinosaur fans who enjoy trying multiple builds; it is a good-sized display piece for a desk.
