Recommendation: meh 4.9 / 5 from 10 reviews

I got this set for my son's 6th birthday as a gift. He loves it!! He loves any flying objects, cars, motorcycles, trains as well as dinosaurs. I also got this set as a gift for a friend's 6 year old son as well and he loves it, too. He built it by himself with minimal help in about 2 hours and plays with it all the time. It's his new favorite Lego set.

This set is great for fans of Jurassic World, it's also a nice parts pack. There's one exclusive minifigure in here too which makes it even better.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5

The LEGO Pteranodon is one of the LEGO Jurassic World dinosaur figures and features soft, bendable pieces. The minifigures come with accessories including tranquilizers and a tranquilizer weapon. The helicopter has a working rotor, working cockpit canopy with room for one minifigure in the cockpit, a side seat for the trooper or other minifigure, and a net blaster that launches the net by pushing the plunger.

Recommendation: no 2 / 5 by Ace Kim

Overall, the set isn't terrible but that's my bias speaking. I have a thing for LEGO aircraft and the helicopter model is neat if you take off the two side weapons and made it look like a normal helicopter. It falls below the magical price per part ratio but you do get a new pteranodon model.

Having a soft-spot for helicopters I really wanted to like this set, and while it's an okay model, a couple of things annoy me: the gun on the side that only points upwards and the stickers on textured parts that will not last 5 minutes. The net firing gimmick is well implemented and adds a lot of playability, I admit, but overpowers the overall look of the craft. Also, I don't care for the one piece landing skid: it's too juniorised for my liking, or the rotor blades. The dinosaur and minifigs are excellent though and, let's face it, that's what most AFOLs will be buying this set for.
