Both built. Both reviewed. Here's how they actually compare on the things that matter.

LEGO Icons Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull
The T. rex skull, mounted, base, plaque, and a printed footprint that's the smartest detail in the set.

Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Icons Jazz Club
Pros
- Three connected venues — jazz club, pizza place, tailor's shop
- Working stage with horn quartet and pianist setup
- New Orleans-style architecture with cast-iron balconies
- Seven characters with story-rich casting (musicians, server, tailor, customers)
- Modular base — connects to the [Boutique Hotel](/reviews/boutique-hotel) and other Modular sets
Cons
- $230 is on the higher end of recent Modular MSRPs
- Cast-iron balcony work is fiddly — small pieces, tight tolerances
- Limited gritty-NOLA character (set is more polished than authentic)
LEGO Icons Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull
Pros
- Movie-accurate T. rex skull anatomy in LEGO scale
- Printed footprint tile on the base — most underappreciated detail in the set
- Articulated jaw — can be staged open or closed
- Modern reissue of the [Dinosaur Fossils](/reviews/dinosaur-fossils) skeleton concept at a single-piece price point
Cons
- Single skull only — no full skeleton like the original 21320
- Display base is smaller than the build deserves
- Lighting matters more than for any other set in the lineup
