📝 Our Take

Triceratops Research is a charming addition to the Jurassic World lineup. This set perfectly captures a memorable scene from the original movie, offering a fun build and iconic minifigures.

This set is perfect for Jurassic Park fans of all ages. The build is straightforward and enjoyable, making it suitable for younger builders, while the inclusion of Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm will appeal to older collectors.

Skip this if you're looking for a challenging build or a massive dinosaur. Consider the larger T. rex Breakout set for a more complex experience and a larger dinosaur model.

📈 Investment Analysis

→ Price stable
B
Investment Grade
⏳ Active
The Triceratops Research set has moderate investment potential. Its appeal lies in the nostalgia factor of the original Jurassic Park movie and the inclusion of popular characters like Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm. While not a limited edition, the set's reasonable price point and the enduring popularity of the Jurassic Park franchise suggest it could see modest appreciation over time, especially after retirement. However, its relatively small size and piece count may limit significant gains. Keeping the set sealed and in mint condition will be crucial for maximizing any potential return. The minifigures are likely to retain value.

Compare Similar Sets

Compared to other Jurassic World sets, Triceratops Research offers a smaller, more focused diorama experience. While sets like the T. rex Breakout offer larger dinosaurs and more complex builds, this set excels at recreating a specific, memorable scene. It's a good choice for those who prioritize minifigure selection and nostalgic value over sheer size and complexity. This set is also much cheaper than the T. rex Breakout.

2 Minifigures Included

The inclusion of Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm makes this set highly desirable for Jurassic Park fans. Ian Malcolm's head is unique to this set. These are iconic characters in high demand.
