LEGO Jurassic World Giganotosaurus & Therizinosaurus Attack 76949 review!

[@JANGsLEGOreviews]

GigaNOtosaurus the first 'o' is not silent SMH so what about that $130 set with a ton of stuff to talk about in it hmm?

[@dnsstudios22]

i think the Therizinosaurus head is so accurate, however the body is so skinny and i think it should've be done a new mold for the dino.Also probably will make the value better

[@sirventricle3536]

It's from the Greek gigas 'large' and notos 'south' because it was found in South America (and is large, I guess)!

[@Dominikpterus]

As a big paleo-nerd im dissappointed by Lego's portrial of Therizinosaurus. It was a really weird and amazing creature but Lego failed to capture what we know that made it special (for example the big round body of a herbivore and its feathery coat). Also the Indoraptor scicle claw leg part reuse is especially bad here. I didn't think Lego would even make this species so I was very excited when it was rumored that he would be included in this set, but when it was revealed I was quite dissappointed.

[@VKLS]

I like the foliage and the buildings but the price in my opinion is decided by if you want the dinos or not, i want dinos but i'll wait for discount.

[@DiceRobo]

For a theme that's usually pretty expensive this seems like an better value than usual

[@AClassicBrick]

I think when it comes to accuracy to paleontology in these sets, we shouldnt forget that LEGO is trying to recreate the dinosaurs as seen in Jurassic World/Park, which are by no means scientificly accurate. 😅

[@foxmccloud7]

But not even the movie versions give the wrong dinosaurs sickle claws when they never had them.

[@therealnuggetball]

True ... I think even if they tried to .. a 2 years later ... The looks of the dinosaur would chage.

[@GoldenNinja3000]

True, but the dinosaurs in this set aren’t even accurate to the ones in the movie. They’re awesome but as a huge Jurassic fan I do expect more accuracy to the film depictions.

[@Betuor]

You mean the Giga did't have more spikes than Godzilla in real life?

[@Neucod55]

Although it is accurate for the giganotosauros to be bigger than the t. rex

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

The Therizinosaurus weirded me out at first, but it has really grown on me. Love the individually articulated fingers.

[@PushoverMediaCritic]

Head shape for Therizinosaurus seems about right, actually. It's a herbivore, it eats leaves off of trees. So, no fangs and small blunt teeth makes sense. And yeah, the claws are supposed to hang straight down, limp-wristed, it only used those claws for pulling down branches and self-defense. The biggest problem I have with the Therizinosaurus is that the body is too skinny, Therizinosaurus is supposed to have really wide hips. And the tail should be much thicker and fluffier with feathers.

[@therealnuggetball]

Yea they should have made a new tail atleast

[@geologyjoerocks]

Yep! I agree!

[@Lordodragonss]

ALso it has Indoraptor legs.

[@shmurblethebirdmanbarbarian]

I wish the Therizinosaurus had rotating wrists like the Indominus used to so you could get more angles with the claws and I’m not a fan of them reusing the Indoraptor legs for everything because the stuff they used it for don’t have that sickle claw

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

The lime green build on the side of the main structure build is supposed to be an electric charging station for the ATV. Not a bad start for a set, I would have easily forgone the Therizinosaurus for a more complete building.

[@foxmccloud7]

From what I can recall, the behind-the-scenes and even the LEGO video game states that the Indominus Rex ended up primarily using Giganotosaurus DNA for the base of her genetic makeup, meaning Claire was lying about it being based on T-Rex. Also, I believe that her claws were so sharp because Therizinosaurus DNA was used here?

[@alienskater69]

Absolutely love the moment when Jang wants to go on a tangent about aerodynamics but stops himself because this is a lego review.

[@_Pikalika_]

If the Helipad was a separate build I think it would've worked better for it's size. with 1-2 studs around it for some foliage and terrain, perfect. Not accurate to the movie probably, but as a set, as a build it would've been better. Giga looks really cool, the head is so accurate to how they represent it in ARK: survival evolved video game. Therizino's neck is too long. the headpiece length added to the upper body's portion of the torso piece and it's just too much imo

[@KyL]

Really like and pleasantly surprised by the interior. Feel like there's lots of playability there. Definitely agree with you about making the helicopter smaller to drop the price a bit. Great review as always.

[@edgarleft]

It doesn't matter if the lego dinosaurs are inaccurate to what scientist believe real dinosaurs looked like. It should be accurate to how they look like in the movies. In the first Jurrasic world movie it is establishd that they splice the DNA such that the dinos will look more like what the audiance expect they look like than they did in real life.

[@potatoanimates6847]

This is true, but most of the shape and mold of the therizinosaurus is even severly inaccurate to the movie, the slim body, the indoraptor legs and some more minor things. Same goes for the giganotosaurus with the small trex arms with 2 claws and the head (it is fine but would have liked a new mold).

[@Lordodragonss]

The problem is THEY ARE NOT accurate EVEN to movies... (Therino has wrong legs and bodyshape, Giga has wrong arms)

[@Stygymolic]

I think the action feature on the tower is for the giganotosaurus to grab it and pull it down. I think it was on the back of the box but I’m not sure

[@LoonieMoonie420]

im a MASSIVE dinosaur enjoyer, and have bought all the sets from 2015 up to now, and lego has unfortunately dipped in the accuracy of dinosaurs even to the movies. The Therizinosaurus is fine, but it should not have the retractable claws on its feet, they should be flat similar to the legs of the stygy or the 2015 Dilophosaurus. The giga should idilicly have 3 fingers instead of 2. This goes for the baryonyx model too, it should have 3 fingers not 4, and should not have the retractable claws either. Other than that tho, they are spectacular models.

[@matthewdenz1045]

First Dominion review hype! Please do a display with all of the dinosaurs from the 9(10 if you get the polybag set) Dominion sets like you did for Fallen Kingdom. Can't wait to see the rest!

[@justanothersmallyoutubecha8884]

I really like that helicopter build great video 👍

[@bdonaghu]

One way to modify the tower supports to hide the blue pins is to just put additional technic pins with studs on one end in the other technic holes, and cover up the holes entirely with a couple 1x3 light blueish gray tiles.

[@igotin9264]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@thatoscarguy9965]

Yeah I did the same thing actually but with a 1x6 for the front of the bridge of the 2006 star destroyer

[@willspratt9044]

I think they should rethink the tail articulation on their Dino’s. A “wagging” tail would be much better

[@Liam-le5xb]

I love this set! I hope Lego revisits some of the past Jurassic world and park movies to make dinosaurs that look more accurate to the movie counterparts, like how they did that with indominus vs ankylosayrus

[@maks_____]

Ngl I adore the weird long nailed long necked one. It's so weird but looks so fun and especially so fun to play with. Anything over the same 3 dinosaurs every season. Definitely a highlight of this set for me.

[@DiceRobo]

I understand complaints about the bright red and blue stuff in a lot of sets but I don't really mind it too much. I try to think of it as wiring or something

[@Nasuto1702]

I hate that they keep reusing legs with raptor claws, for dinosaurs that clearly do not have those. They made this same mistake for the baryonyx last year. I can excuse the re-use of the indominus head for the Giga, since the do look similar. The use of the T.rex arms is stupid tho. How hard is it to give it the right arms and legs?

[@joshh3304]

No one seems to mention Jang is reusing his familiar old jingle? Love hearing it again!

[@Tadicuslegion78]

I remember way back in the late 90s when Lego was doing their adventure series about their Indiana Jones guy before they had the rights to Indiana Jones and that Dinosaurs were a theme for a while, and it's so cool so see how much Lego Dinosaurs have improved and gotten bigger and better since the 90s

[@21doughj31]

that green thing on the side of the building is for gass and the black thing next to the gas is the pump

[@AL123Productions]

The dinosaurs are definitely the main attraction of this set, but the builds are pretty good too! Overall looks like a great set

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

I definitely want to get this set, am building quite a collection of lego dinosaurs

[@Vadahann]

I like that observation tower, it looks strong and it offers quite some room to play with minifigs though it wouldn’t have hurt to have a little bit more interior details. You can feel the cost saving/efficiency on that HQ with two opened sides and very narrow rooms but it looks good and it’s detailed enough to procure good play value. The helicopter is interesting but yes, you could probably achieve the same goal in a smaller footprint. I’m not particularly a fan of dinos, plus they add quite a lot to the price in the end, but they do the job. Price is quite high, will have to wait and see how it evolves with time on the shelves.

[@grindingbricks]

What i'm most interested about in this set, is the tall beams used for the watch tower, great part to elevate structures, landscape, etc... ...and great review as usual, thanks

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

Why does the Giganotosaurus have such a weird sail on its back? The real dinosaur never had one. I don't know if this is creative license by Lego or if they are adapting an inaccurate design from WB directly, but either way I don't like it. It's just not what that dinosaur should look like.

[@bwplays2713]

Hey jang I’ve been watching you for years And I can say that you’re absolutely awesome keep up with These amazing reviews 😊❤🎉

[@rokushou]

I can accept Jang's reasoning that Lego would charge $40 for a giganotosaurus, but it still feels super overpriced. At that price you can buy a licensed mattel dino that has more play features and is movie accurate.

[@hiltwo]

Your final reaction to the Therizinosaurus is priceless :D As always, thanks for the great content!

[@LesFountain]

The tower reminds me of Jurassic world camp Cretaceous

[@Zenlore6499]

The Charlize-Theronosaurus is pretty funky looking. Not sure what happened there.

[@tristanmoore9653]

I like the therizinosaurus (no idea how to actually spell it). I feel like the head reminds me more of a tortoise which fits its herbivorous diet.

[@Studious_Studios]

Thank you for this amazing review. I like this set, it could well be my first jurassic park lego. I like the mix of adventure and technology. Can't wait for the Avatar theme also.

[@scorpiovenator_4736]

this is one to buy and sell in 5 years when it is ridiculously expensive

[@N1ck2725]

I love this set and I love this movie

[@kzyprod.]

Bruh, the claws of the grey dinosaur 😂

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

Its wrists look broken!

[@cmdrTremyss]

I'm glad they were able to make Owen's face prints ChrisP.

[@everettsalmans104]

Helicopter isn't oversized, the build is undersized

[@DerDudelino]

Gotta be my most favorite helicopter out of literally all sets from the last years though. I'd love to see this make it into LEGO police.

[@TTHBLOX_]

saw the movie last night. its impressive how accurate these sets are

[@LegoMultiverseStudios3279]

I got just this set today and I'm loving it. I built in a little over an hour and was so much fun to build!

[@75Golgotha]

I am fine with the head shaping given what we think we know about the look of it. I think it might have been a little longer and narrow at the end, but I think it looks interesting enough.

[@landini9041]

I personally don’t like how much they will charge for big molded figures such as the rancor or the Dinosaurs. I will say it is still a good set.😃

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

I love the creatures and the features but, why isn't the Giganotosaurus using the three fingered parts used by the Stygimoch from the Camp Cretaceous line which the parts are in lime green already. I guess they wanted to add longer fingers but the Giga in Dominion has 3 fingers and that Theri, Indoraptor legs and the fingers needed a better angle on the wrist.

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

I want this set real bad

[@michielwerring5846]

I wish I could just buy the tower. It looks great, and I think it would go well with Star Wars "imperial" sets. Add safety rails all the way around, add some plumbing to hide the square support structure, and stick an AT-ST next to it. Two workers inside, an officer and a trooper on the exterior. You could even add some of the snow trenchworks from the new Hoth battlepack to replace the green growth if you're so inclined.

[@nosociallifeman2227]

I just got the set at Walmart for $74.99 after tax. Got it on clearance from the original $140 and very pleased with the deal I got on it. Excited to build and see how it is for myself.

[@defenderprime8046]

Although I haven't heard much of those dinosaurs in this set, it's a pretty cool set, if pricey (I share your dismay and disgust of high prices these days, Jang! 😉) Today I went to Toys R Us and saw all the new JW: Dominion sets on shelves! Looking forward to watching your reviews on these as well! And I really do like these dinos, they've made so many of them in the past with color variations, always been a fan of dinosaurs in general!

[@josephbuell5192]

The giganotosaurus is the genetic foundation for the indominus rex, hence the same head

[@noahbristow3508]

I wish they made this larger and more accurate to the movie

[@Betuor]

I find sets with big dino molds really mess up the price. Like on one hand, just looking at the set, it feels overpriced. But when you look at the dinos and their size, it kind of looks to make up the gap. Like I almost look at it like getting 2 T-Rexes. How much would people expect for those to cost extra. I certainly know $40 for the Giga second hand would be a good deal. As for scythe hands, I kind of like it, but I think the biggest issue is the neck. It just looks wrong bent. Maybe if the neck and head were separate pieces.

[@PaulSmith-wd8uc]

Therezinosaurus was herbivorous so the beak & no fangs is probably fair enough.

[@TufteMotorsport]

Man, the lack of articulation in the Therizino hands.. I wish we could rotate it's wrists and move its hands up and down.

[@Fp15386]

I wouldn't have noticed the snake look on my own but now it really bothers me

[@prokesuk]

I like the design of the watchtower. I can see it being repurposed as the head of a walker.

[@CatonusPrime98]

Mattel did a better Therizinosaurus, both in terms of paleo-accuracy and movie accuracy.

[@dinohapstudios1367]

The theryzinosaurus head is just a modified version of a velociraptor head, just a long neck and a beak-like thing

[@callumhumphrey6059]

There should be three fingers but the length of the arms are spot on

[@grandiosa86]

Hey mate, I just noticed that the Giganotosaurus only have 2 fingers on each hand when it should be 3 like in the movie. Correct me if I am wrong, but that is poor from LEGO if it is true.

[@tyrannosuperior5248]

Giganotosaurus should have 3 fingers and longer arms. I really wish they would've refused the raptor arms. One of these days Lego is going to replace those stupid Indoraptor feet in the medium theropod figures and when they do, I'm going to be *so* happy! otherwise I'm very excited for this set!

[@Mr._Superabled]

Given that I now have the set myself, I can confirm that the Therizinosaurus looks WAY better in person

[@jesusmejia79]

you sort of right a window does break but not in the way you think

[@I_Was_Chrispy_Kreme]

I think the green thing on the main build is supposed to be an electric car charger

[@MH-ms1dg]

4:26 totally right, why didn't they just recycle the Gallimimus head?

[@zleeven]

just got the set today and i feel the same way you do. the piece count seems horrible for the price. 120 for 810 pieces sounds absurd, but everything comes together so well that is hard for me to say that it not worth the price. the helicopter is a great build. both compounds are big and can get alot of playability. also they look great for any set up you want them in. both dinos are great, do i would love for lego to make non raptor legs for mid size dinos. and the mini fig selections is so good. its an all round great set.

[@Darkus_Da_Cyber-Dragon]

I do wish the arms on the Giga were longer

[@GanonGhidorah]

I didn't think much of this set...but now that I've been rewatching Dominion at home, I suddenly _want it,_ so I'm thinking of picking it up soon. The thing is, even though I really want that Giganotosaurus, I'm not thrilled by how it's designed. I too was irritated that they reused the Indominus head for it - mainly because, being a bit of a Dinosaur fan, I knew that the "normies" were just going to think of the Giga as just another "Indominus Rex" dinosaur in the movie. But I can ultimately live with that. What bothers me _most_ about it, is the color-scheme the toy has. The bright Lime Green and Black is interesting, but it's not film-accurate. The movie has the creature be a light, almost pale bluish color, with a heavy forest green being the darker colors. It would've looked like an interesting combination. I suppose maybe in a few years, they'll release an updated, more accurate version like they did with the Indominus. As for the Therizinosaur...I have no idea why it's colorscheme is so... _blue._ This thing is one of the few fully feathered Dinosaurs we've gotten in the franchise, and yet the toy looks almost entirely scaly. Which, I'm not knocking, but it's a bit jarring to say the least. Also, they really could've done a better job with the hands and claws on this thing. For the one thing, the hands have no wrist articulation, so the claws are all facing down. Worse is, the way those hands have _slots_ to fit the articulated claws into, make it look like the thing is clenching its fists, and the claws are being held between the fingers - like when a kid takes three knives and pretends he's Wolverine. And honestly, all the claws are the same length, which was a mistake. With Therizinosaurus, the claws should get progressively longer as you get to the interior digit. So perhaps for the final - longest claw - they should instead go with that old tail-piece that is usually used for claws or teeth now a days. As for fixing the hands - they need to give an articulated wrist, and either have the fingers already attached to the hand, or have the attaching pieces be the same color as the hand to contrast with the claws.

[@Lordodragonss]

Main atraction here are dinos, but both are just wrong vs movie looks... (Therino has wrong legs and bodyshape, Giga has wrong arms) I also dont like fact Gigantosaurus has no studs visible... (The sail should have been additional piece) GOOD JOB LEGO

[@callumhumphrey6059]

The giga is top tier

[@apluto12-z3e]

Hey Jang, lock S-foils in attack position!

[@nickhayley]

Between getting a Gigantosaurus and Ellie Statler, are we sure this isn't a Lepin set?

[@Dreadwolf3155]

"I hate how expensive everything is today" truth my friend and it has only gotten worse!

[@jasongoff1229]

I was able to get this set new in box today for $64.00

[@spoonsrattling]

The giganotosaurus is alright. The therizinosaurus is much more egregious. The head is just nonsensical. It's not a reptile it should not look like a snake with weird arms.

[@MayoHosko]

I’m starting to think LEGO is pricing dinosaurs higher than they used to because LEGO knows people will buy them regardless. It’s a sellers market with this set

[@bellaward5252]

On the head/ mouth on my lego therizenosaurus it needs there TEETH painted and the legs/feet the Utah raptor claws are not supposed to be on the therizenosaurus and it need more feathers.

[@KTLaughter]

It’s actually decently valued I think. If it were 100 it would be an absolute steal though. I dig it

[@WookieeRandy]

Therizinosaurus looks fine to me, I see bird still don't see snake/serpent ✌🏼

[@trujm2959]

Love it, Jang! Thank you for the review! Yes, I absolutely second the sentiment of it being fairly priced... but simultaneously being overpriced! Oi! Will you be reviewing some of the smaller $40 sets in the Jurassic World line?

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

9:15 pretty sure that is EV charge facilities?

[@jesusmejia79]

And why does gigantosaurus have small arms with 2 fingers instead of bigger arms and 3 fingers

[@parmodmehta]

I think the head is ok but little bit more fethery

[@HomemadeCollectibles]

I hope to god this set goes on sale cause I want that giganotosaurus so bad but $140 ??? Just ……. Trying ………. Not to …..buy it

[@anticlimacticanimations9919]

I dont care if they reused the Indos head it still looks amazing

[@EXADragaon]

Those gunplas in the back tho Never knew you build also

[@error-quin9909]

Th only thing that is bad of this set are 2 small things that can better, give the giganotosaurus arms like the new baryonyx and the same for therzino but longer Claws so i rate it a solid 8/10 ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

[@lopoa126]

Even if it just saved $10 I'd rather not have the weird oversized helicopter. Seems like it would have been better as a separate set with a dinosaur or two that are chasing the human(s) trying to escape with the helicopter.

[@moesatv]

Why do the prices go higher

[@ethanribitzki8147]

so this is avengers compound + dinosaurs

[@Teddy-Mania]

Cool

[@dinomation]

It looks pretty good, a lot of play value!

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

Not looking forward to the movie in the slightest as I got halfway through Fallen Kingdom and never finished. This set actually looks decent but even considering the dinos and licensing costs, the price feels too high.

[@cyrollan]

Iono, I consider those giant molded animals to be kinda like cheating. The recent T-Rex Breakout featured an excellent LEGO model dino. These here just look like...toys

[@jonasfermefors]

I looked up the Therizinosaurus and it actually looks rather weird in most recreations as well, so I can't really blame Lego for that.. but it doesn't make me want it that much.

[@MicahPotts]

How in the world is the T-Rex Breakout only $100 but this abomination is $130!?!
