2012 LEGO Dino (January)
Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
I don't know how fair it is to compare the price per brick count for these sets. It is obvious that the dinosaurs molds are new and just cost more to produce. I probably won't pick any up at any price, but I think they look pretty sharp.

I opened and built the Ambush Attack and Tower Takedown, and I have to say I really like the dinosaurs.
I don't mind that the Coelophysis is all rubber.
The Pteranodon had plastic body and wings, but rubber lower jaw and head.
Also: the figure with tower takedown only has a one sided face.

Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
Was able to put together the raptor chase set last night.
I really like it.
The Raptor is all plastic except the tail which is rubber which is already attached. The bottom jaw locks into 2 position.
I really like this theme.
Cant wait to get the other sets.

What are the Raptors, T-Rexes, and Triceratopses made out of?

Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
Will somebody tell me what the Triceratops & Tyrannosaurus Rex are made of?
Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
Is 5888 Pteranodon Chase an exclusive? It's the one set that doesn't seem to be on S@H ...?
LEGO, it's not just a toy, it's an addiction... ;)

An exclusive to where? Exclusives are still on S@H, S@H gets all the sets.
It's probably not out yet being that it's a 2012 set being released 6 weeks early.
Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
It isn't in the Instruction manuals, so it will be limited edition, my guess is Target only (besides S@H)Brick & Blue wrote:Hodgeman wrote:Is 5888 Pteranodon Chase an exclusive? It's the one set that doesn't seem to be on S@H ...?

on 5887 Dino HQ, here is the desciption:
Someone messed up.
Clearly the 5888 description on the 5887 set.
Funny thing is, it was correct before.
Like the name of the plane "Ocean Interceptor"

Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
I just wondered why all the other Dino sets were on S@H but not that one. I realize S@H will have exclusive sets too, just wondered where it was.Brick & Blue wrote:Hodgeman wrote:Is 5888 Pteranodon Chase an exclusive? It's the one set that doesn't seem to be on S@H ...?

Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
Does the Velociraptor, Triceratops, and Tyrannosaurus Rex come apart?
Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
I know that this thread has been very dead for a long while but I wasn't in the mood to make a new thread.
I was surfing around YouTube today and I found out that Jurassic Park IV is coming out next year.
Which has me thinking...could Dino attack be a transition theme into Jurassic Park?
I remember that pirates was phased into Pirates of the Caribbean?
Growing up in the 1990's, Jurassic Park and dinosaurs was a grade 1/2 students dream come true.
I also remembered that they used Jurassic park as part of the Studio theme. Given the advances in Lego dinosaur technology and the expansion of lime green pieces, do you think that JP as a movie theme is possible?

Jurassic Park 4 is NOT coming out next year (2013), it might never come out after the the human/dino/dog DNA hybrids script that leaked years an years ago.
However the writers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes are now trying to save the franchise, so there might be hope yet. We have gotten two JP sets in the past so I wouldn't rule it out in the future.
Re: 2012 LEGO Dino (January)
I think the main weakness of the Dino set is lack of fully articulating joints of the Dinosaurs themselves. The best part of the Dino set is the articulating jaws of the Carnivorous dinosaurs . There are many different types of Ceratopians-Chasmosaurinae - Maybe its too much to ask but I think Lego should have interchangable heads so you can switch a Triceratops to a Torosaurus to a Monoclonius. Or better yet have interchangeable Lego horns. If I was to redesign the Lego Allosaursus/T-rex - I make his mouth so big that a minifig would slide into the mouth of the Predator and into a belly prison/hold which has a trap door underneath so you can get the minifig out. While the minifig is Inside the Carnivore's prison belly - you could shake the T-Rex to hear the minifig rattling inside ( pretending that the T-Rex is having a trouble digesting the minifig)! Indy get me outta here !!!
