Well they're coming, like it or not. For a better notion of the dino sets
take a look at this pic Christian Gemunden posted:

Focus on what can be done with the pieces that was not possible before.
These are not juniorized parts per se because they perform functions not
previously possible before and are not simply conglomerations of smaller
pieces. I don't expect the dinosaur sets to be liked by the majority of the
community but I do think they will surprise people by their flexibility.

I consider it like Star Wars Lego or Pirates- something I would have died
for as a kid.

Jack Stone however, IMO, is pretty awful. But I think the same thing of
Belville and Scala, lines that have proved their usefulness.

Well! I certainly hope the Jack Stone sets turn out to be as interesting as the Dinosaur stuff. That picture REALLY helps to make clear the possibilities of the Dinosaur line. Thanks Jonathan!
