The new dinosaurs, with the bodies built either from bricks or from the two
highly specialized body pieces, are far more posable/reconfigurable than
their counterparts in Adventurers. As 1370 is part of the Studio line, with
which you are supposed to make movies, posability is important.
I prefer 1370 over the larger 1371. At $35, 1371 is a rip-off, dispite of
the two plane windows. 1370 is more fun.
By the way, last year I made a raptor purely in bricks:
