I'm not sure yet what to say about the Spionsaurus. At first sight it looked
very unlego-ish to me. But after I had a closer look, I might change my mind:

The front and the rear part of the torso look like it's two identical parts,
which you can put arms or legs (probably in different sizes) and a neck or a
tail piece on.

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 actually four seperate peices (according to pictures I have seen).
This means you can vary the length and width of the body by inserting bricks!

After having another look, I agree happily. The more parts, the better.

That's modular, but still not Lego.

Unfortunately, you snipped the rest of my post. The next sentence was
begining with "But". I only wanted to say that at that point I did not see
any typical Lego-Stud-Connections.

Well, I for one feel that it's a pretty LEGO way of making organic creatures >in a modular way.

As I said, I might change my mind to liking it. If I find out that I can use
the torso pieces e.g. in a spaceship and attach something else than limbs to
it, I will actually love those pieces.
