Why didn't they just make the parts interchangeable?  It's *lego*, fer goshsakes.

Well, they did, sorta--the tails are interchangeable, and of course the "upper jaws" are as
well.  The trike looks pretty neat with a dkgrey alligator head--sort of a paeriosaur (sp) or
something.  And, of course, there's no end to what you can use for its "horns"..."Oh no!  It's
the brick-headed-lizard!"
