Larry,

The new sets are the European versions of what we got here in North America.
They are going with a less violent variation of the theme in Europe, using less
guns and trapping the dinos in cages.

To quote another member of ParLUGment:

"If you listen to the geekbrick episode 2 Podcast, you will hear Jake McKee
talking about how these sets are being modified slightly for the less violent
European market.  US kids will not buy anything non-violent it appears."

Hope this helps explain what is happening,

Jude
