When the Jurassic World sets there was one part that everyone noticed immediately and was probably going to be the new hot part to fit into MOCs. I speak, for course, of the trans-yellow boat bottoms used in the headlights for the truck. Can’t wait to see how they are used! Sure, some people also wanted the new round transparent spheres, but they just lack imagination.
Obviously, that was some sarcasm there, because the spheres were certainly the most striking part in the early views of the sets. This is the second in our series of Jurassic World sets, the review for 75816 Dilophosaurus Ambush, the $29.99 set in the lineup, and the cheapest to include the sphere. That means I expect to find a whole lot of ACU guards and Dilophosaurus parts showing up on the aftermarket as people crack these sets to get the sweet, sweet, sphere.
This set also has the distinction of actually having a vehicle that seems to be a proper minifig scale that also doesn’t have an absurd mounting of giant launchers or missiles on it. Most of the focus is into the jeep more than it is the sphere, but it’s also kind of unclear exactly what they’re going to do on the ambush. Perhaps it was just a bit too much to ask for a trap in a $30 set that sports 248 parts. But hey, at least our jeep has an “rear explode function” for when this thing blows up… somehow, and a winch for treating a dinosaur just like an AT-AT.
