The imagination and creativity has always come from the people who play with the toys, not the company who designs them. There isn't really anything creative about building a LEGO kit by the instructions, no matter how good the model/theme is. > > Lets see what's new at Lego > > 1. More licenced themes - no originality there then > - Jurassic Park Is it Jurassic Park, of just Jurassic Park III they have a liscence for? I would love this theme if they gave it the same attention and detail as the Star Wars line: Mini-figs resembling the characters! Classic models of the visitors centre, the jeeps, the InGen helicopter, the outhouse the T. rex knocked over, etc. And that cool lime-green tour car as a Model Team set! But instead they limit themselves to the third movie (possibly because they have to?) which has less to build from- and they don't even do a proper 'bird cage' or 'dinosaur factory' set. And they put cameramen in the sets? I understand that these are Studios, but no one wants to see the little cameramen in their movie anyway!
