Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 40 reviews

I have always loved dinosaurs and LEGOs, and have honestly been really disappointed with some of the past ones (the mutant Dino Attack ones were weird). This was a great change, and the raptor (even though no raptor should be the size of a Volkswagen) was beautifully colored and detailed. This was the most efficient set for me price-wise, but I plan to save for bigger ones (I got the Triceratops set for Christmas - also highly recommend).

Playing with Bricks

Recommendation: meh 8.5 / 10 by Nachos Grande

I had a great time building the set - it brought back so many happy memories of my childhood. That said, I'm not sure that the Dino theme is the best LEGO set for adults...it's high on the playability factor however! As a kid, this would have been one of my favorite sets - I'm sure of that. I think the pieces are interesting enough that you could make a few other fun models just using the pieces from this set, something else that I always enjoyed doing as a youngster.

Overall, I found this set a great value. We get this super-cool new Raptor, two minifigures with great new prints, a tranquilizer gun, two lime green syringes, and a very play-with-it-rough truck. All for only $30! I really like the yellow/dark-red color scheme and the dark tan minifigure scheme. The various greens used on the dinosaur itself are perfect too; it looks very natural and pleasing to my eyes.
