(...) I don't particularly like those new dinosaurs. The Spinosaur looks cool, but I think the Raptors and the "new" Pteranadon look stupid. I liked the Dino Island Dinosaurs. Maybe it's just me, but the pre-formed animals seem more real to me. The (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

(...) Am I the only one who thinks these dinos look pretty lame? Ah, well, at least the small dinos are made of bricks. What's with the Pteranodon with no beak? I know it's cheaper for production, but I really don't like the continued use of the (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

For my part, I like these new Dino set guys, because they are (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

(...) Actually we should love those new Raptors and the Pteranodon. I, too, think that they don't look as "cool" as the Spinosaur, but I think it's a great approach of TLC not to make more SPUDs, but add some smaller special parts and build up the (...)

(...) It's actually *4* parts. Not identical. You have seen that it is divided symmetrically from side to side, making what you think are two identical parts in the front and back- it's also divided from front to back symetrically, so the body is (...)

(...) I agree with this sentiment. My point, however, was: If they're going to reuse parts (the Pteranodon/ Raptor head) Why didn't they reuse something that looks like a pteranodon instead of sticking a raptor head on the brick-built Pterosaur (...)

(...) Absolutely. I'll take something crafted from plates and bricks over SPUDs (even if the SPUD-o-Saurus looks slicker) any day of the week. james (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

(...) I agree. Thats the problem. As an adult I am torn between wanting exacting realism and buildability. Especially since Pteranodons, Pterodactyls and Pterosaurs have always been my favorite extinct animals I wish Lego had made a better head (...)

There's a whole series in the Retailers' Catalogue using the parts seen in the Jurassic Park III sets (as well as some other ones) to build up the Dinos. Could be really (...)

Hi, I think that on the whole the new JP3 sets are pretty bad.They have a hastily thrown together look about them and they didn't even bother to design new minifigs based on the characters from the movie.The new raptors and pteradactyl would have (...)
