LEGO has announced a new dino-riffic set: the LEGO Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler. The set is aimed at the 18+ age group and is based on one of the iconic vehicles from the original 1993 Spielberg movie. It’s set number 77984, it’s comprised of 1,924-pieces, and it looks rad. The listing isn’t yet live on the LEGO Store (it should go up here when it is), so we don’t know the price or release date. But it looks like a real treat for fans of the film.
In Jurassic Park, these Jeep Wranglers are the vehicles park employees use to move around the island. This LEGO set’s specific Wrangler, number 12, is the vehicle the duplicitous Dennis Nedry uses to make his getaway after stealing dino DNA. It’s the Wrangler he’s driving through a torrential downpour when he knocks over a sign pointing to the East Dock, where a boat he’s hoping to board is about to leave. Thanks to the crash and a nearby dilophosaurus, it’s the last vehicle he will ever enter.
The LEGO re-creation includes a buildable number 12 Jeep Wrangler and that very same East Dock sign. The vehicle has rubber tires and a Jurassic Park logo emblazoned on a door that opens and closes. It has a cut fabric piece for a roof and the same tow cable spool on its front that Nedry uses in the movie.
To announce the set, LEGO and Jeep put out a promotional Instagram video that’s pretty delightful. It’s a decidedly less violent re-creation of the rainy Jurassic Park scene in which Dennis Nedry meets his fate. This version of the rain coat-wearing man wipes fog off his glasses and then builds the LEGO set.
Again, it’s unclear when this set will be released or how much it will cost, though the recently released and similarly sized LEGO Pokémon Pikachu and Poké Ball set costs $199.99, if that gives you a ballpark idea.
