It's not one big SPUD.  I know it looks that way, but it's not.  I promise.

You know, several people have said that they prefer the premolded dinos because
they look better.  For my part, I like these new Dino set guys, because they
are better representative of what I like about LEGO.  I can take them apart and
recombine them into creatures out of my own imagination.  I can make a 9 headed
hydra or a dragon or Mecha Ghidra.  Part of that means using and reusing
components, and part of that means using regular bricks.

I like it.  I'm happy to see it.

And now I understand better why LLW was installing so many friggin Dinosaur
statue-things last October. :D
