Dino Attack
I was over at from bricks to bothans an saw these dino attacks sets. When I saw the names I thought that they were probably like the designer sets but being into Lego I took a look. This is mini fig scale and the vehicles look pretty good but the beasts look like they may have some useshttp://www.fbtb.net/toyfair/2005/

Hello!
(No Bionicle-bashing intended. It's a construction toy, and people obviously build lots of stuff with it.)

That's probably true. However, to have dino play-thingies like that they must not necessarily be LEGO. And those Dinosaurs have less to do with LEGO than Bionicle. They are arbitrary like any toy from the shelf, not distinctive LEGO.Dragonlord Esq. wrote:As much as I hate the juniorized dinosaurs, I have to admit I'd love these if I was a kid.

This is just the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.

I think the sets rock! At least, for a space parts monkey they do.
But ya, those dinos hit a nerve. I really didn't have a problem with the old modular Dinos, but these really bug me.

I liked the old Adventurer's dinos. And I liked the old dragons too. They at least matched the other Lego animals (horses for example).
The vehicles might be alright, but I can't get past the dinos. These dinos are just not lego... well beyond the 4 studs on their backs. They are awful.

I could bash these sets from now on and until tlc realize it's crap, but I won't. I'll make it plain and simple: I don't like 'em... at all... 
I pity you guys who get these instead of vikings.

I don't know. When Europe's equivilant to Jake says something like this, it seems pretty hard to refute. There is alot of evidence to suggest that this is true!Dragon Master wrote:Is it wrong...hopefully!From Jan Beyer (TLC) the following was posted at the 1000steine.de forum:
Dino Attack will be released only in North America.
Vikings will be released only in Europe.
1) The Vikings line has been previewed ONLY in Europe.
2) Similarly, The Dino line has been previewed ONLY in the US.
3) The US Catalog does not preview the Viking line for the fall.
4) We have confirmation from a LEGO official (Jan Beyer) that this is true.
Overall, I'd say that this looks pretty conclusive.
The only thing I want to know is "why" LEGO chose not to release the Viking line in North America. It definitely sounds like a licencing issue. Also, I wonder if LEGO's European and North American product lines will continue to diverge in the future.
Later.
