LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Review – T. Rex, Triceratops & Pterodactyl for Ages 9+

🧱 Introduction

LEGO dinosaurs are back – and this time they’re bigger, smarter, and way more ferocious. The 2024 LEGO Creator Ferocious Creatures 3-in-1 set upgrades everything we loved about the original Mighty Dinosaurs kit: better proportions, cooler movement, and more visual impact.

It’s designed for kids aged 7 and up, but our 6-year-old built it too – with just a little guidance. If your child is ready to level up their LEGO experience, this is the perfect set to grow with them.

🦖 What’s in the Box?

The 3-in-1 set includes instructions and pieces to build a detailed T-Rex, Triceratops, or Pterodactyl – one at a time. The standout feature? The models are larger and more articulated than previous versions. This means more dynamic movement, better posing, and cooler play possibilities.

The T-Rex has a wider head, longer tail, and even better balance. The Triceratops looks sturdier and bulkier, just like you'd expect from a tank-like herbivore. And the Pterodactyl is sleeker, with extended wings that flap and fold realistically.

While some of the techniques are a bit more advanced (like hinge joints and curved shaping), the instructions are still clear. With a bit of patience, even younger builders can enjoy it – especially with a parent nearby.

🧠 Creativity & Learning

This set is a great bridge between beginner LEGO and more advanced Creator builds. It teaches kids how to work with more complex parts and introduces new building concepts like jointed limbs and asymmetrical design.

That challenge encourages persistence and concentration. And once it’s built, kids are rewarded with three incredibly playable models that feel fresh and full of personality. These dinos aren’t just toys – they’re storytelling tools.

We love how the designs spark new dino stories every day. Our son even combined parts from this and the Mighty Dinosaurs set to create “super-dinos.” That's real creativity in action.

👨‍👦 Our Experience & Recommendation

We built the T-Rex together over a rainy weekend. It took a bit longer than simpler LEGO sets – around an hour – but the result was worth it. My son was beaming. The movable limbs and lifelike proportions made it an instant favorite.

After building the Triceratops a few days later, he was hooked. We even ordered a second set so he could build and pose two dinosaurs at once – one for display, one for roaring around the living room.

If your child has outgrown basic LEGO sets and is ready for something with more “wow,” this is it. It’s especially rewarding as a parent-child build – the perfect mix of guidance and independence.
