I receive this set last week. The raptor and pterodactyl dinosaurs are
built mostly from bricks, with a head and tail piece. I think it is a bit
odd that it was done this way- ever since the first castle set, they have
made animals out of non-bricks, and the other dino sets all have pre-fab
dinos. So why did they decide to start with bricks now? And doesn't it make
them look silly up against the Adventure dinosaurs? Anybody have an idea why
the change?
PS - The plane is great. It is a sturdy, stylish, fun item.

| (...) Can you describe the plane more in detail. Like what other plane parts does it have? Does it have one of those plane control panels or just a flight stick? Also is the construction of the plane just like previous passenger plane sets? -Tim (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

| I do believe they are trying to expand the possibilities of what you can make from them. Yes they look different than the adventure dino's and castle dragons, but it is nice to see Lego tyring to expand playability rather than constricting it. James (...)

| (...) I personally like the new dinos. While they aren't as good looking as the Adventures ones, I think they have greater potential for other stuff. Along with the Studios sets there are new dinos in cans like Bionicle. The new T-rex looms much (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

| I just picked up the 1370 and 1371 at my local TRU in Charlotte NC. The 1371 is a nice set, it has traditional construction ( thye plane is very similar to the one from Outback airstrip) and the tree uses brown elements along with a girder ( which (...)
