Class 4 article


Dinosaurs was a LEGO theme released in 2001. This theme included different kinds of dinosaur models, in adult for as well as smaller younger forms. This theme did not include any normal minifigures.

Packaging

Canisters

The four larger sets (6719-6722) were packaged in plastic canisters. These canisters were black, and they had a cuboid form. They have the appearance of a block of stone, with "fossilized" bones being visible. The lid also serves as a stand for the built dinosaurs, even though it could be difficult to place them on it without them falling over.

Boxes and Polybags

The sets 5950 to 5953 and 7000 to 7003 are the smaller sets of the theme. They include baby / young versions of dinosaurs. Those sets are in fact the same, the only difference being 5950 - 5953 were packaged in Polybags, while 7000 - 7003 came in boxes.

Other LEGO themes related to dinosaurs include Dino Island, a sub-theme of Adventurers in 2000, and Dino Attack/Dino 2010 in 2005. Dinosaurs were included in DUPLO sets as well. Dino, a sub-theme of DUPLO included sets in both 1997 and 2008.

Models

The four main dinosaurs, packaged in canisters, include additional parts to rebuild the main dinosaur into another:

  • [[[6719 Brachiosaurus]] can be rebuilt into a Diplodocus, Plateosaurus and a Plesiosaurus.
  • '[[[6720 Tyrannosaurus Rex]] can be rebuilt into an Ouranosaurus, Parasaurolophus and a Spinosaurus.
  • [[[6721 Mosasaurus]] can be rebuilt into a Dimetrodon, Iguanodon and a Postosuchus.
  • [[[6722 Styracosaurus]] can be rebuilt into a Camarasaurus, Centrosaurus and a Triceratops.

Sets

These twelve sets were released from this theme, all released in 2001.

The instructions shows images of the alternative models. On the back of the instructions of all Dinosaurs sets, there is a piece of a prehistorical landscape, as playmat to play with the dinosaur.

Notes

  • Although the main dinosaurs include additional parts to build alternative dinosaurs models, the four possible dinosaurs cannot be built at the same time.
  • The smaller sets remblece the bigger dinosaurs in childhood forms, with every set having an adult counterpart, exept of 5950 Baby Ankylosaurus / 7000 Young Ankylosaurus.
  • Some dinosaurs like 6722 Styracosaurus could transform to other dinosaurs that weren't included in the instructions, for example the Styracosaurus could also be transformed into a Pentaceratops and the Brachiosaurus could also be transformed into an Iguanodon.
  • In each instruction book, there is a page designed to act like a place for the dinosaur to walk.
