Jurassic World

Young T. rex Transport Truck

The Young T. rex Transport Truck sends a caged young Tyrannosaurus off in the back of a rugged off-road vehicle. This 115-piece Jurassic World set pairs black and yellow bodywork with red trim and tan detailing, and comes with two minifigures ready for the job. At 57 unique parts, it's a compact set with more detail than its piece count suggests.

Description

A working transport vehicle

The truck itself carries the model, built around a raised bed that holds the caged young T. rex in place. Black and yellow make up most of the bodywork, red shows up on accent pieces, and tan runs through both the dinosaur and a handful of trim elements. Rather than repeating the same few bricks, the build uses 57 different part types, giving the front grille, headlights and cage bars their own distinct shapes. For a set this size, that variety keeps the build feeling detailed rather than repetitive, without stretching it out. The result reads as a proper vehicle rather than a simplified shape.

Play with two minifigures

Two minifigures come with the set, suited to the usual Jurassic World routine of catching, securing and moving a dinosaur. Both fit behind the wheel or alongside the vehicle, which means the set supports acting out a small scene rather than just standing on a shelf once finished. That's worth knowing if the set is going to a child who enjoys role play as much as building, since the cage and figures give the model something to do afterwards. It also makes the set easy to combine with other Jurassic World vehicles for a bigger play scene. Storing the cage separately from the truck also makes tidying up simple.

Size, colours and the parts list

At 115 pieces, this sits among the smaller Jurassic World sets and builds in a single sitting, which suits a younger builder or a quick session between other activities. The colour scheme of black, yellow, red and tan carries through the whole model, so it reads clearly from a distance and slots in alongside other vehicles from the theme. Anyone after specific parts, such as the cage bars or wheels, can check the parts list on this page, which breaks down all 57 unique pieces by colour and quantity. That level of detail also means the truck holds up well as a small display piece once building is finished.
