LEGO Jurassic World Rumored to Drop 2 Rare 18+ Dinosaur-Themed Sets in 2026

by

There’s buzz that LEGO might be releasing new Jurassic World sets later this year. These sets are expected to be designed for adults and experienced builders – that’s all we know for sure right now. While LEGO has made many adult-focused sets before, dinosaur-themed ones for older builders are less common. This is exciting news for LEGO and Jurassic World fans who enjoy a more complex building experience, as 2026 could bring some impressive new sets.

Information about the two LEGO sets planned for 2026 is limited, but the rumors come from Brick Fanatics, a reliable source within the LEGO community. They’ve built a strong reputation over time and are even officially recognized by the LEGO Ambassador Network, giving them access to inside information about LEGO’s future plans.

When Are the Two Jurassic World LEGO Sets Expected to Arrive?

  • May 2026
  • June 2026

LEGO is starting 2024 strong with several exciting releases. The recent launch of LEGO Smart Play, combined with a large wave of new Harry Potter sets, has already generated a lot of buzz. Now, two exclusive Jurassic World sets designed for adults are adding to the excitement, and their limited availability makes them even more appealing. While specific details are still scarce, Brick Fanatics reports having some idea of when these sets will be available.

What Exactly is an 18+ LEGO Set?

Okay, so I’ve seen some confusion about LEGO sets with the 18+ rating. A lot of people think it means mature content, but that’s not it at all! It’s mostly just how LEGO markets these sets. Basically, it tells you it’s designed more for collectors and display than for kids to play with. These sets are usually way more complicated builds too, which makes sense since they’re meant to be shown off, not torn apart and rebuilt constantly. You see this a lot with sets that are really meant to be display pieces.

Examples of Sets Found in LEGO’s 18+ Category

  • 11501 Tulip Bouquet (The Botanical Collection)
  • 75440 AT-AT (Star Wars)
  • 76466 Sorcerer’s Stone – Collector’s Edition (Harry Potter)
  • 42223 1966 Ford GT40 MKII Race Car
  • 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft
  • 21342 The Insect Collection
  • 21350 Jaws
  • 21062 Trevi Fountain
  • 10354 The Lord of the Rings: The Shire

There aren’t many LEGO dinosaur sets designed for adults and older builders. Last year, the only one was the Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil set (76968). The 18+ age recommendation isn’t strict – it’s just a suggestion of complexity. Anyone, regardless of age, can build a challenging LEGO set if they enjoy it.

What Can Jurassic World’s Rumored 18+ Rating Tell Us About the Set?

While we don’t yet know exactly what the LEGO Jurassic World sets will look like, the “18+” age label suggests they’re designed more for collectors to display than for kids to play with. These sets might also be quite large, as LEGO often creates massive builds for popular movie franchises, recreating famous scenes or locations. The upcoming LEGO Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith set is a great example of this trend.

As a huge Jurassic World fan, I’m really excited about the new LEGO sets, but I’m also a little worried about the price. I’ve seen the leaked price for the Lord of the Rings Minas Tirith set – around $600 to $650! – and that’s pretty intimidating. But I don’t think the Jurassic World sets will be that expensive. The Lord of the Rings sets usually attract a lot of serious collectors, and Minas Tirith is supposed to be massive, with a crazy number of pieces. It would be a shock if a Jurassic World set was built to that same enormous scale, and priced accordingly, so I’m staying optimistic!

While Jurassic World is well-liked, The Lord of the Rings is a better fit for LEGO’s large, elaborate building sets due to its expansive fantasy world. LEGO could still release a Jurassic World set, but it would likely be similar in size to their other popular culture offerings. Rumors suggest several new LEGO sets are planned for 2026, focusing on well-known franchises. LEGO hasn’t confirmed the Jurassic World sets yet, but given the recent movie release, adding to the existing Jurassic World collection seems logical.

There are currently 10 Jurassic World-branded LEGO sets available to buy.

According to Brick Fanatics, LEGO has a lot planned for the future, with sets based on popular franchises. While some releases are still just rumors, others – like those from DC and much of the Disney collection – are confirmed. 2026 is already shaping up to be a huge year for LEGO Harry Potter, and there might be even more sets coming in June. Big names like Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and Pokémon will all have new sets available. Fans are also excited about the possibility of a more mature (18+) LEGO Super Mario set, which would add to the already impressive collection of advanced builds like the 72037 Mario Kart and 71426 Piranha Plant.

2026 looks like it will be a great year for LEGO, with lots of exciting new sets potentially on the way. While these are just rumors for now, and some sets might not actually happen, the possibility of more Jurassic World LEGO is thrilling! It’s interesting to wonder which Jurassic World film the sets will be based on – it could be the original trilogy with Chris Pratt, or the newer Jurassic World Rebirth. LEGO and Jurassic World fans will have to be patient and wait to see what’s revealed.
