New LEGO Toys Based on Jurassic Park III


The press release does not make  specific mention of this but seems to
support the dinosaur and baby dinosaur sets that were seen briefly on
BrickShelf. see:

http://www.brickset.com/search.asp?Display=Page&Page=6

for the only documentation I can find. And frankly, if Lego is going to make
dinosaurs that are roughly minifigure scale, then I prefer them to be of
this new semi-buildable type than the underscaled ones available in the
Adventurers line.

On a side note I wonder what determines the timing of these press releases.
A three month lead time for this one and a year lead for Harry Potter. BTW,
if anyone has pictures of those dinosaurs, I would*love* for you to email
them to me(pretty please!

(...) These aren't those, not as far as I can tell. (...) These newer ones are pretty big. A what looked to me like a red crocodile/dragon head was the *tongue* in the T-Rex. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures I can share. eric (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.animation)

(...) In the case of Harry Potter, the brand-empowering prestige of having gotten the licence is leveraged ASAP. It wasn't hyped to consumers yet because that could have hurt holiday 2000 sales, plus a whole year wait was too much for consumers. (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.animation)
