At $49.99, 5975 T-Rex Transport is a bit too expensive. Otherwise it is a cool
vehicle set that keeps the tradition of the Adventurers theme. I like the
tractor-trailer. The color scheme of its triceratops looks a lot nicer, too.
5935 Island Hopper is among the best airplanes Lego has ever made. However, as
part of the Adventurers theme it looks too modern.
I have not seen 5920 Island Racer in person. From the picture (in the S@H
summer catalog) it surely looks good. However, 5920 is not the first racing
car in the Adventurers theme -- 5958 Mummy's Tomb also comes with a racer, and
I love that one very much.
In Dinosaur Island, many cars do not come with that single-piece body. As the
result, two mini-figs can no longer sit side by side. Personally I like
this "back to Basic" approach, however, I think Lego should put doors on these
cars. (Good thing that the Adventurers vehicles all have that patchy feeling,
so you don't really have to use car doors with matching colors.)
Cheers,
