Monday, January 16th, 2012

Dinosaurs have always been pretty impressive. Now you can get them in LEGO form in the new theme, LEGO Dino!

LEGO Dino features minifigure heroes and moulded dinosaur figures in each set. The dinosaurs are similar to the figures used in the Dino Attack theme, but have been updated to look more realistic. LEGO have done a fantastic job of making the dinosaurs look fearsome, yet pretty cool at the same time.

There are currently seven sets in the theme, the biggest of them all being Dino Defense HQ. This set features the main headquarters of the heroes, complete with communications centre, laboratory and tranquiliser refilling station. The Dino Defense HQ includes four hero minifigures and three dinos (T-Rex, Raptor and Coelophysis).

Other sets in the theme include Ambush Attack, Tower Takedown, Raptor Chase, Triceratops Trapper, T-Rex Hunter and Ocean Interceptor.

LEGO Dino is the perfect theme for LEGO and dinosaur fans alike.
