Tower Takedown
5883-1 Dino 2012 136 parts 8.6% repair risk Easy
Prepare for a daring dinosaur capture mission with the LEGO Dino Tower Takedown (5883-1), a 136-piece build from 2012. A lone hero minifigure must ensnare a hungry Pteranodon dinosaur, lured to the lakeside tower with a smelly fish bait. The tower features a functional net shooter mechanism, crucial for bringing down the airborne creature. If capture attempts fail, the hero can execute a quick escape on the speedy jet boat, which measures 5cm long. Accessories include a tranquilizer gun and a walkie-talkie, providing multiple play options. The completed tower stands over 15cm tall and 12cm wide, while the Pteranodon spans 20cm wide, adding significant scale to the prehistoric scene.
