LEGO® Jurassic World - Young T. rex Transport Truck 77978

The LEGO Jurassic World Young T. rex Transport Truck (77978) is a 115-piece 4+ set built around getting a young T. rex to safety. Despite the low piece count, it packs in two separate vehicles, a dinosaur figure and two minifigures, which is a lot of play content for a set at this size and price.

Two vehicles and a dinosaur

The transport truck is the centrepiece, sized to carry the young T. rex in the back. Alongside it comes an ATV for a second minifigure, which gives two children something to hold each during play rather than taking turns with one vehicle.

Accessories are included to extend the rescue scenario beyond the vehicles themselves.

What is included

• Transport truck sized for the dinosaur figure
• ATV
• Young T. rex figure
• Two minifigures
• Assorted play accessories

Built for four-year-olds

LEGO 4+ sets use large Starter Bricks to form the base of each vehicle, so the truck holds together under rough handling and a preschooler reaches a finished model quickly. Instructions are pictorial, which lets a pre-reader follow along without help.

This is the entry point into LEGO Jurassic World, and the dinosaur figure is scaled and simplified accordingly.

Set specifications

• Set number: 77978
• Piece count: 115

• Theme: LEGO Jurassic World

Who this set suits

A sensible first dinosaur set for a young child, and small enough to work as a party gift or stocking filler. It pairs naturally with 77981, the other 4+ Jurassic World set released at the same time.

Growing with your child

4+ sets are built to be taken apart and rebuilt repeatedly rather than assembled once. The large Starter Bricks survive that cycle well, and the vehicles remain useful as generic play pieces long after the original build is forgotten.
