Frank.... you must have gotten a different catalog than I did. I'm looking
at the dinosaurs now and what I see are dinosaurs made out of LEGO pieces
that are shaped to look like dinosaur parts. Not really LEGO "bricks" as
such, but rather highly specialized pieces which are intended to be used to
make something that looks (very much) like a dinosaur.
Of course, if the kids get bored with the set, they can always take the
pieces apart and make.... well... other dinosaurs.
I agree with you, that animals *can* be made out of bricks. But I disagree
that what are included in those sets are really LEGO bricks. It can be
done... and it can be done with standard bricks. I just can't figure out
why they don't work harder at producing sets/models using bricks that can be
more easily used in other creations.
Just my whining and complaining again, but I find those dinosaurs to be a
symptom of what's wrong, rather than what's right these days.
