Wow, New York Toy Fair kicks off with an explosion of Jurassic news - starting with the announcement of a new LEGO mini-series, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar! Read the synopsis below via PR Newswire:
“Set in 2012, three years before the events of the Jurassic World movie, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar picks up where the story left off from LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit. Newly hired animal behaviorist Owen Grady and Assistant Manager of Park Operations Claire Dearing team up on Isla Nublar to deal with everything the Jurassic World park throws their way. And “everything” includes runaway dinosaurs, ongoing construction to expand the park, tourists everywhere, unpredictable tropical weather, and an impulsive boss! Plus, a mysterious saboteur with surprising ties to the park’s past is on a quest to find a legendary treasure and destroy Jurassic World forever! What could possibly go wrong? Everything.”
Last year on NBC, we got a glimpse of this expanded universe with Lego Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit - a fun romp, while occasionally absurd dip into the Jurassic LEGO expanded universe. If you haven’t seen the two-part short yet, you can actually pick up the DVD on the shelves. The shorts introduced a pretty interesting thread into the story (one which I will not spoil here), so I’m interested in seeing where this new mini-series takes that story.
Legend of Isla Nublar will explore new story-lines and obviously non-canon developments in 13 episodes later this year!
Next up, LEGO also announced brand new LEGO sets to connect with the upcoming mini-series. Take a look at information below via The Brothers Brick:

Incredible! Looks like there are some really fun sets in there, with my favorite being the Dino-Mech suit! While it’s completely absurd and something I’m sure we’ll never see in an actual film, it’s still fun to see brought to life in LEGO form and most likely brought to Legend of Isla Nublar! Let us know what your favorite set is in the comments below!
Thanks to Pablo for the heads up on Facebook!
