| | | | | (...) 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 (...) (23 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 (...)
