(...) I don't think that is the case. If anything, they may be too new to be in the catalog. I just started seeing them in stores a short while ago, and most stores near me still carry the whole line. Henry (25 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I think Frank is referring to sets 7000-7003, the "young" dinosaur series. Other than the heads and tails, the bulk of the body is made up of bricks, mostly slope pieces. Henry (25 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) What Frank is talking about are the smaller Dinosaurs sets- (URL) mostly have bricks with a few dino specific pieces thrown in (like the neck, head and tail). Hope that helps, ~Nathan (25 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)
