What are other peoples opinions of the Dinosaurs?

To me they seem to be one step away from Duplo. Even the Buyonicles and
RoboRiders are more 'reusable'. They're pretty cool if that's what you're
into, but...

They're limited enough in looks, parts, and poseability to be called junk.
Having said that, I'd buy particular parts if I thought of a construction to
which some their parts were particularly suited. Like if I wanted my Castle
cavalry to have fantasy-reptilian mounts, or something like that. Hmmm,
actually, yeah - if I was first, I baggsy that idea.  ;-)

It's really disappointing that some Oz people will make a point of buying
one of each of these junk sets(*), but have turned their noses up at Life On
Mars. Well, don't let me hear them complaining about juniorisation, or I'll
get really cross.

(*) Yeah, and Bionicles too. Not impressed.
