One of the only LEGO Dino sets I never got. Cool Pteranodon.

That's a pretty weird looking fish.

1. I don't see any ocean.
2. What did the ocean do to you?

I like it but never netted it.

My absolutely favourite "Dino" set. The seaplane was cool as hell. I remember this wasn't available in shops, at the time, it was a Lego.com exclusive.

Dinos!! So glad they made new Dinos and then carried them on.

I do wish I had this set, but if I ever got it, I'd give it a proper horizontal stabilizer.

Intercepting the ocean seems like it would not go very well.

LEGO Dino TV ad. is somehow one of my favorite of the Lego tv commercials:

At the very least, it'd be easy to find.

Dino was so cool bro. I wish we got cool, innovative themes like this again :(

I remember that one!

Thought this was a recent set, assuming this can't be older than 10 years. It was. Looks good.

This and other similar themes kind of put me on the spot. This is one of many of Lego's in-house knock-offs of other, bigger IPs - the Dino-themes shamelessly rip off Jurassic Park. Johnny Thunder is Indiana Jones with the serial-numbers filed off, and the Monster Fighters are a mix of "We couldn't secure the license for Scooby Doo at the time" and "We have Colombia Movie Monsters at home".

Lego does that a lot, and I kind of love it. Even after TLG manages to secure the licensing-deals for the official, AAA-brand franchises, I think I prefer the charm of their official off-brands. Kind of wish they'd do that more often, I do believe I'd be a lot more interested in "Stellar Conflict" or "Wizard Child Soldier Academy" than their original counterparts.

I suppose the ptera was the reason the PPP ratio is pretty poor. Were all the Dino sets like this?

I actually rebuilt this just over a year ago but in flame yellow, as a NINJAGO vehicle for Skylor. I did the little speedboat that drops out in purple, so that it could be for Chamille.

Hah! Our newest member just spent the last few months building the Sea Duck from Disney’s TaleSpin, and used four of the long wedge slopes from this set to make the twin booms:

It’s currently on display at our Henry Ford Museum layout through the second Saturday in January, and has been deservedly getting a lot of positive comments.

@Crux:
Colombia? The South American nation? I think you either spelled Columbia a little bit wrong, or you absolutely butchered the spelling of Universal.
