That is so cool. That's what I thought Lego should've done with their
dinosaurs originally. I'm excited! (I'm sure I expressed that in an earlier
post, but I'm too lazy to find it) That's in true spirit of Lego IMHO if we
can dwiddle around with the pieces to form our own Jurassic critters. I
personally think those museum guys take alot of artistic license anyway.
I had mixed feelings about movie/book licensing with Lego. Now I'm really
for it. Look at all the new parts and minifig variations Lego gave us to
accomodate the movies. Didn't you grow weary of the same hairdo on every
female fig? I never feel obligated to keep Luke Skywalker or any of his
wonderful toys in their original form anyway. I think by getting licenses,
Lego is forced to make really quality cool stuff. Did any of the Star Wars
guys have microphones on their faces? Yippee!
I think Jurassic Park 3 is a better license than Harry Potter, but I can
picture alot cooler sets for JP, unless they do the HP train. When they get
a good 9V Steam Locomotive you can deal me into trains.
