The horror. The horror...
Double Jurassic! I mean, technically this was part of the JP3 promotional sets, so...
This looks nothing like the Dinosaur that attacked today's RMotD...
I paid $10 to buy one of these just to get the orange 1x1 Technic bricks, which I promptly buried inside the front of one of my cars.
They made an orange dinosaur?!
Huh…two dinosaur related Random _______ of the Day from two entirely different themes.

Today's RMotD: "Huh. You're smaller than I expected."

That looks much more like, “Kill me!”
Dr. Ellie Sattler: T-T-Rex?
John Hammond: [nodding] Mm-hm.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: You said you've got a T-Rex?
John Hammond: [nodding] Uh-huh.
Dr. Alan Grant: [grabbing Hammond's shoulder] Say again?
John Hammond: [smiling] We have a T-Rex.
(Amended/Extended scene): [Grant looking at 'set']...No...no, you don't...
:D
Oh, Huwbot, you're so silly.
A bit of a small T rex compared to today's RMotD
Just terrible, it shows that this was made around 2000's. Very little came out good around those years.
Recently got this one. It might not seem very exciting, but I like these small oddities in LEGOs history and the Coca Cola promotions from Studios are certainly one of them. I think that this is actually great for what it is supposed to be. A little brick built movie prop dinosaur.
The your dinosaurs are wrong guy would have a field day with this one.
That said, it was just a promotional, on with generous recolours too! The parts to build dinosaurs were also more limited back then, as System only had the pre-moulded ones from Dino Island and the ones with deliberately general purpose parts from Dinosaurs (2001). So this goes above and beyond by making the entire thing orange!
@WolfpackBrickStudios I forgot just how many have been orange. And that list does't even list the various orange Dino Island Pteranodons (which are not really 'dinosaurs' ofc) and the orange-bellied Stegosaurus and Triceratops from the same line.

Weird flex but okay...?
I wonder who at the studio decided they needed an orange Barney knock-off. No wonder today's RMotD doesn't look scared if this is the T-Rex he's facing
Hmm didn't know about this one. Now I kind of want it.

And my favourite 4000031
Intended Pun/wink to the orange man?
He's dancing Thriller.
When you want a T-rex from "Jurassic Park", but you only have the budget for a T-rex from Temu.
Perfect fpr the Carnosaur recreation!
The brief moment just after the asteroid hit.
He looks like he's in immense pain. Something went terribly wrong with the genetic resequencing.
Aren't you a bit small for a T-rex?
No wonder they went extinct....

Coming this summer from Pixar, “The Well-Done Dinosaur”.
Only one thing here: ORANGE dragon arms.
Seriously, no matter how bad the design might be, I want this.
They really did ol' Rexy dirty with this one.
