![]() ![]() ![]() The Gyrosphere is unchanged from when it first debuted in 2015, and I still like the design of it, where it rolls and wobbles while keeping the minifigure inside stabilised. Here’s a look at the back view of the Gyrosphere Station, where you can see that the designers have added in some nice details, such as a small ladder to get onto the Gyrosphere dock. No idea about the significance of the 18th of February, but it could be an Easter Egg reference to the designer’s birthday. Throughout the structure are several stickers such as a screen where you can see a sauropod out in the wild, and a calendar with a Pterodactyl and month of February on it. The design of this Gyrosphere complex is pretty decent – I really like this red bracket along the side of the structure.įor what it’s worth, the designers really did a decent job adding to the details of the structure, and making what was really a boring design in the movie, into something that has some nice architectural features, such as the arches at the base, foliage out front, and the wall brackets. There is a large waiting area out the front for guests to line up or mingle, turnstiles to get in, and even a ticket booth. The designers did a pretty good job adapting the design of the ride, from this scene in the movie, with the thatched roof and even positioning of the Gyrosphere track. Here’s the complete Gyrosphere station, which is a fully self-contained building that bears a striking resemblance to a theme park ride. There’s a play feature that’s built into the trees, where you can knock the Technic pins to dislodge them, causing them to crash dramatically – they serve as collateral damage from the showdown between both dinos. The trees are also quite nice – with a healthy dose of leaves, although the trunks look a little too straight and rigid. I like the fossil on the base of the gyroscope sign which is a nice touch. Let’s get into the build – there’s a simple but really attractive Gyrosphere sign, which has two prehistoric palms that flank it.īe very careful with applying the Gyrosphere word stickers, lest you end up with this misaligned monstrosity like I did. With the original Indominus Rex being one of the rarest LEGO Dinosaurs, this is a great opportunity to own one without breaking the bank. Of course, just like the movie suggests, despite being heavily armoured and having a swinging club tail, the Indominus Rex is likely to win by sheet wit and cheating thanks to its genetic engineering. Having two large dinosaurs in the set dramatically boosts the playability, as it allows the both of them to square off in a classic Carnivore vs Herbivore matchup. ![]() ![]() Unlike the OG Indominus, which has hands that can rotate, and can has a slot to grip a minifigure’s legs, the newer version has long, slender arms with a singular stud in its palm – this of course, allows you to affix a minifigure, or any other LEGO element for a more secure hold. It’s still blood-red, making him look like he’s suffering a major bout of conjunctivitis, but it’s a little too expressive and looks a bit too cartoony.Īnother major difference is the new hands. I’m not a fan of the new design of its eye. ![]()
