LEGO Jurassic World T. rex Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition 76940: Buy Sealed in the UK

The LEGO Jurassic World T. rex Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition 76940 is a 198-piece museum-style build with a fully brick-built T. rex skeleton, a printed museum nameplate reading TYRANNOSAURUS REX 68M-66M, an infant Triceratops in an exclusive sand-blue and tan colourway, and two minifigures. It released on 1 September 2021, retired on 31 December 2022, and is the only LEGO set that has ever shipped a brick-built T. rex skeleton at minifigure scale outside of the much larger Ideas 21320 Dinosaur Fossils. We list it sealed and verified at BuyMyBricks at £82.

This guide covers what is actually in the box, what real Brickset reviewers make of the build, the design notes that make 76940 distinctive within the Jurassic World catalogue, and where the set fits if you are buying for a Jurassic Park fan or as a gift for a 7-plus child. The brick-built skeleton is the centrepiece. The exclusive infant Triceratops is the collector hook. The shorter retail run (16 months) is why sealed UK supply is now finite.

What is actually in the LEGO 76940 box?

The 76940 is a self-contained museum diorama in 198 pieces. The centrepiece is a brick-built T. rex skeleton roughly 29cm long with an articulated jaw, neck, arms, three rib clips, and two leg joints. Around it sits the museum-style display: a printed dark-tan nameplate reading TYRANNOSAURUS REX 68M-66M with the geographic origin (North America), a small whiteboard panel with a printed T. rex skull sketch, a wheeled accessory cart, a lamp, an egg display, and vegetation pieces.

The brick-built T. rex skeleton

This is the build moment that earns the set its place. LEGO have produced moulded T. rex pieces in other Jurassic World sets, but the 76940 skeleton is brick-built rather than a single moulded shell. The articulated jaw can be posed open or closed. The neck has limited articulation. The rib cage uses three rib clips that hold their position. The legs join the spine at two articulation points. The result is a skeleton that reads as a museum mount from across a room and rewards close inspection.

The exclusive sand-blue Triceratops baby

The infant Triceratops in the box is the variant catalogued by BrickLink as tricera06. The colourway (sand blue body with white horns and beak, printed bright-light-orange eyes, sand-blue spots) is exclusive to 76940 and appears in no other LEGO set. For Jurassic World minifigure-and-creature collectors, this is the single hardest-to-replace component.

The minifigures

Two minifigures ship in the box. Owen Grady (BrickLink jw023) is the same sleeveless-jacket Owen LEGO have produced since 2018, with a double-sided head. Darius Bowman (jw075) is from the Netflix DreamWorks Camp Cretaceous series. Darius’s torso, with its yellow hoodie over a white T-shirt printed with a dinosaur-tooth necklace, plus the reddish-brown smile-and-frightened double-sided head, is shared with one other Camp Cretaceous set (76942) but is unique to that subtheme. If you are completing the Camp Cretaceous figure run, the 76940 is one of the smaller sets you need.

Sticker count

Why is the LEGO 76940 worth buying in 2026?

Three reasons that hold up against any used 76940 on eBay.

The exclusive Triceratops baby. Used 76940 listings routinely arrive without the infant Triceratops, and the sand-blue variant cannot be sourced from any other LEGO set. A used set missing this piece costs £15 to £30 to complete via the BrickLink secondary market, plus shipping, plus the time spent finding a UK seller.

The Camp Cretaceous Darius figure. Used Jurassic World sets are routinely listed without minifigures. Replacing Darius (jw075) on the BrickLink secondary market typically costs £5 to £12. Add Owen Grady at another £3 to £6 and a used set without figures sits at £25-plus before any other repair work.

The unique brick-built skeleton parts. The 76940 uses several Jurassic-specific bone-coloured pieces that LEGO rarely repeat in other sets. A used skeleton missing one or two key pieces stops looking like a T. rex and starts looking like a generic display.

Who is the LEGO 76940 for?

Three audiences make up the active buyer pool in 2026.

Jurassic Park and Jurassic World fans. The franchise is now over 30 years old and continues with theatrical releases. The 76940 is the only LEGO set that gives Jurassic fans a museum-style fossil display rather than a movie-scene diorama. It reads correctly as a Natural History Museum exhibit you might walk past in real life.

Camp Cretaceous figure completists. The Camp Cretaceous Netflix series introduced six new minifigures (Darius, Brooklynn, Kenji, Sammy, Yasmina, Ben). Collecting all six sealed-in-set means buying the small handful of sets that ship them, and 76940 is the cheapest entry point with a Darius figure.

Gift buyers for 7-plus children with a dinosaur interest. The 7-plus age rating and 198-piece count put the build comfortably in the “hour-long Saturday morning” band. The price point sealed (around £82 in the UK) is in the gift-buyer sweet spot above generic stocking fillers but below flagship sets.

How does 76940 compare to other Jurassic World sets?

Most LEGO Jurassic World sets are movie-scene dioramas: a T. rex chasing a Jeep, a Velociraptor enclosure, a Mosasaurus tank scene. The 76940 is different. It is a museum exhibit, set in a fictional research centre or natural history museum, with no chase scene, no enclosure, and no jeep. The build appeals to collectors who already own a few action-themed Jurassic World sets and want something quieter and more display-led to round out the collection.

The closest comparable set in scale and price is the older Velociraptor Blue Friendship Pack 30382 (a polybag) or the larger Pteranodon Chase 75926. Neither has the museum framing or the brick-built skeleton, which makes the 76940 uniquely positioned within the Jurassic World retired catalogue.

What other builders make of the LEGO 76940

Our take: the 76940 is the Jurassic World set we get the quiet questions about. Buyers ask whether the skeleton is brick-built (yes), whether the sand-blue Triceratops is exclusive (yes), and whether the figure load is worth the price (Owen plus Darius gives you two of the more sought-after Camp Cretaceous figures in one box). At £82 sealed it sits in the comfortable mid-range of the Jurassic World retired catalogue. Sealed verified at BuyMyBricks →

How much does the LEGO 76940 cost in 2026?

BuyMyBricks lists the set at £82 with sealed verification and tracked UK delivery.

Why does sealed matter for the LEGO 76940?

The 76940 has more loseable components per piece than most Jurassic World sets at this price point. The sand-blue Triceratops baby, the two minifigures (especially Darius), the small accessory pieces in the museum diorama (the lamp, the egg, the printed cookie tile, the small tools on the wheeled cart), and the bone-coloured skeleton parts are all small and lose-able during teardown.

BuyMyBricks holds verified sealed copies, inspected for original factory seals on every flap before listing. If a box fails any of those checks on arrival in our Yorkshire warehouse, it does not get listed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the LEGO 76940 worth buying sealed?

Yes. 198-piece Jurassic World museum exhibition with a brick-built T. rex skeleton, an exclusive sand-blue infant Triceratops, and two minifigures including Darius Bowman from Camp Cretaceous. UK sealed copies trade between £75 and £110. BuyMyBricks lists at £82.

When did the LEGO 76940 retire?

31 December 2022 after a 16-month retail run. The shorter shelf life is one of the reasons sealed UK supply is now finite.

Is the T. rex skeleton in 76940 brick-built or moulded?

Brick-built. The skeleton uses standard LEGO parts in bone colours assembled into a roughly 29cm-long T. rex with articulated jaw, neck, ribs, and legs. It is not a single moulded shell.

Why is the Triceratops in 76940 special?

The infant Triceratops in the set (BrickLink variant tricera06) ships in an exclusive sand-blue colourway with white horns and beak. This colour combination appears in no other LEGO set, which makes it the single hardest-to-replace component if you buy used.

Which minifigures come with LEGO 76940?

Two: Owen Grady (BrickLink jw023) in his sleeveless-jacket variant, and Darius Bowman (jw075) from the Camp Cretaceous Netflix series.

How long does the LEGO 76940 take to build?

Around 30 to 60 minutes for an adult builder. The 198-piece count and 7-plus age rating make it a single-sitting build.

Should I buy LEGO 76940 sealed or used?

Sealed. The exclusive sand-blue Triceratops baby, the two minifigures, and the small printed accessory pieces are all components that go missing in used copies. Replacement on BrickLink typically costs £25 to £55 plus shipping. BuyMyBricks lists sealed verified stock at £82.
