The Jurassic World license is the perfect marriage of two things I loved as a kid: LEGO and dinosaurs. Such a fun theme. Too bad the same thing can’t be said for today’s polybag, 30382 Baby Velociraptor Playpen.

It… kind of looks like a playpen. Dollhouse style I guess. It’s half a playpen that’s open on one side. Makes sense I guess if you want to take advantage of the playpen features.

It’s got a watering dish.

It’s got a feeding stick.

It’s got bars to keep the baby dino in.

It’s got an archway for the Baby Velociraptor to go in and out? Not exactly the kind of feature one would look for in a playpen for a Baby Velociraptor, which also renders the bars useless. But hey, this is Jurassic World where stupider decisions have been made.

But it does have alarm lights in case the baby dino makes a run for it.

The star of the show is obviously the baby Velociraptor. It’s not exactly unique as it has appeared in 8 other sets. There’s little reason to pick up this polybag other than if you wanted a horde of these things. They do make for a good Compsagnathus if you wanted to pick up a couple and redo that terrific scene from the beginning of The Lost World. Other than that really there’s no reason.

Does It Suck or Does It Rock?

This set sucks! 30382 Baby Velociraptor Playpen is, since it’s not a minified version of a larger set, supposed to offer a slice of life of the Jurassic World theme. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really offer anything to really enhance or expand the theme in any meaningful way.
