You don’t need a time machine to visit the age of dinosaurs: Lego this week unveiled a new prehistoric set of bricks.
The three-in-one fossil kit—available in stores and online from Nov. 1—lets budding paleontologists test their skills by building a T. rex, Triceratops, and Pteranodon (technically a pterosaur reptile).
Each poseable model (built to 1:32 scale) comes with a museum-worthy display stand and “interesting facts” about the giant lizards, so you can curate your specimens in your own natural history exhibition.
Well, that’s my husband’s Christmas gift sorted.
The Dinosaur Fossils set—another Lego Ideas fan creation—was submitted by Jonathan Brunn, a graphic and web designer from France.
“When I was little, my passion for dinosaurs was almost obsessional,” he said in a statement. “Dinosaurs were the most incredible thing ever for me, so I made this project to please my inner child.
“I would have loved it as a kid,” Brunn continued. “And I think every kid who loves dinosaurs and science would agree with me.”
For $60, you get 910 pieces to build and create—not to mention a paleontologist minifigure and Lego sapiens skeleton, as well as dinosaur egg, bone, hat, and book elements for added realness.
The T. rex—king of the tyrant lizards that it is—aptly stands out among its skeletal mates, measuring more than 7 inches tall and 15 inches long.
Once you’ve finished making the deceased dolls stomp around your desk, consider donating them to be gifted to children’s non-profits.
