Another creator polybag
Triceratops?!! I thought it was a wooly mammoth!
Why the long face? Come on man, you're a dinosaur, that's pretty rad.

Well he is small
I appreciate the concept here and generally think there should be more dinosaurs, but, I dunno, this one's pretty crude even for a Creator set. I think it might be those giantly disproportionate horns that bother me.
Where's the third horn? FALSE ADVERTISING! CALL DUKE DETAIN!
Biceratops
Wow, that's certainly ... something.
Nah, looks more like the child of a triceratops and a bull.
A Red Bull, but without wings.

Or maybe Cera being REALLY mad from TLBT lol.
He looks hungry, feed him! His face is all skin and bones!
They should have "build a triceratops in 40 pieces or fewer" as a Lego Masters challenge and then sell the winner as a polybag. I can't imagine it would be worse than this mediocre effort.
C grade.
Although if you think of this as a baby version of 4892 also released that year this set is kinda cute.
I guess "Triceratops" is much more succinct than "build something serviceable out of the pieces in your 'junk' box if you ever wanna see your dog again".
122006 : Triceratops certainly did a much better job but also has more and different pieces to work with, 14 years later.
That said, I'm looking forward for the potential recolors of 31058: Mighty Dinosaurs , which also has a Triceratops alternate build, albeit, pretty rough looking due to using those larger ball joints.
A rather crude looking dinosaur really.
I may be no dinosaur expert but...
The head is a little far away from the horns.
Not much is known about the Canadian Long-Nosed Triceratops beyond that it only had two horns, each of which was 1.5x the size of a normal Triceratops horn.

It's like someone built a "mammoth" from table-scraps and the person on the next desk said, "ha, looks more like a triceratops!".
Offence was taken and the discussion became heated; their manager was forced to conduct an impromptu triceratops\mammoth poll around the office.
Triceratops won by one vote, becoming 7604.
The designer never spoke to their desk neighbour again.
When’s the next belville RSOTD I really like them
@ChromedCat:
Mmm...roughly 66-68 million years?
OK, this is what I see:
A crudely-made Sebulba head, on a small elephant’s body, who is apparently the pet of HellBoy with fully-grown horns.
What, did Hammond splice aardvark into this one instead of frog?
Shoulda' been blue...Go Go Pow...oh, they didn't get the license...has Ninjago done dinos yet...:)
If you think those two horns are impressive, you should've seen the third one the ivory poachers already got away with!
