Just go onto the main page on the Dino website, it's the first thing you do in the game. It's a kind of stone structure, and when you pull some switches, it opens and all of the Dinosaurs come out. I'm not sure what exactly the rest of the story is, it does seem to make much sense to me.

I think we have two possible origins for the Dino's so far. 1. They were released by the Alien emperor from Alien Conquest (I think that was from a Lego Club comic). 2. They were released by a mysterious artefacty-tomby thing in the forest (from the game on the Dino website). I don't especially like either of them, so I'm just going to go with my own backstory. Unless ther's a better one in the upcoming 'Nest' or 'Base' sections on the official site. I might go for something along the lines of the anomalies from Primeval. That give me much more options for locations/creatures I can use.

No Dino news from the Toy Fair, so I guess it's either next year or nothing. The display of the current sets was pretty good, though.

Good to see that you're getting the recognition you deserve.

Ah, the classic Dino in corn field. Nice work.

Agreed. Except maybe the machine guns.

Now that this theme is out, I have to say that I really like it. Usually, I'm a historical themes guy, but that's starting to lose it's appeal to me. That leaves a gap that I think Dino could fill. I really like the sets (except the HQ ), and I may end up buying all of them. As much as I hope this theme has a second wave, I wouldn't mind if it doesn't, as it would let me pick up more of the sets in the clearance sale, and give me more time and money to expand it on my own. Like I said, I don't like the HQ, so I might have a go at building my own. A bigger, more stronghold-y type thing. Heck, I might even end up making a whole Terra Nova-style colony! OK, maybe that's a bit too ambitious. Anyway, I'll start my collection with the T-Rex Hunter, and see where it goes from there... Also, does anyone who owns the Ocean Interceptor, Tower Takedown or T-Rex Hunter think they could do a review of them, please? I seen people commenting on them, but they're the only sets we haven't got reviews on. I would greatly appreciate it.

I spent surprisingly little this year, I kind of had a semi-dark age during the last quarter of the year. But there's already a lot that I want this year, so I my money won't be safe for long.

Ah, yes. My bad. I was thinking that they all had roots in mythology, but I forgot about Frankenstein. Maybe some day...

Ah, thanks guys. Red seemed like the obvious choice, but I wasn't sure if they'd do it, because the Lego logo would blend into the background. I wonder what colours will be used after S7, though? I believe it's been confirmed up to Series 8, but I imagine it will go on for even longer.

This theme doesn't really do it for me. I would have preferred Cryptozoology-type monsters (Yeti, Mongolian Death Worm etc.) to mythological monsters, but whatever. That Swamp-Monster set is a must buy for me, though. That will most likely be all. I do admire the idea, though.

Just wondering, do we know what colour the packets for this series will be yet?

I didn't think it was possible, but you found another use for those planet pieces. Well done, sir!

Well... this is... unexpected. But given the chance, I would pick this up. The Gorilla Suit Guy was one of my most-wanted figures, but I never got a single one. Big gaping hole in my collection. I hope they don't have a 'unique coloured element' for him. I want the original. Another one of the other figures couldn't hurt either, I suppose.

Why do I have a feeling that Aquaman will have some hilarious moments in this game. But really, I can't wait for this. I really miss the feeling of playing new levels and the noise it makes when you unlock new characters
