xwingyoda Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Guys, after the Team SWAT story, here is another story based on the new Dino 2010 line !!! Enjoy !!! Somewhere in the world, 1 big skittle dino is leading 2 hideous foam dinos No problems, the Team Dino 2010 is on its way to solve the "situation" Oops, they don't have any weapons. Tough luck guys, next time be in the US ! This task might be very hazardous !! Hey one of the dudes cought one with his weird stick, yayyy well done !! The two other dudes managed to catch the big one with the stupid stick and a roped harpoon, well done once more !! Oh Noooooooooooooooooo, the big one managed to lift poor Craig ... While, Jon is chased by the little foam dino !! How pathetic !! Oh well, not going too well for our brave Dino Hunters !!! They will probably serve as lunch, yummy... Next time guys, chase Dinos in the US >-| Quote

DoubleT Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 He he great this... Did you have some time on your hands? *twisted* Quote
Dino_Bot Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I have the cheapest 2 sets here in America...they kinda suck. I boguth them for the Dinos. Quote
SuvieD Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 xwing-awesome story. You should have just run over them all over with the humvee. ;) That thing is huge! I like the dinos sort of. I really don't care for the little ones. The medium one isn't all that great but the jumbo dinos are very nice. I really want a black/green one. I will wait until I find them on sale near Christmas though. Quote
Vader Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Awwww run jon run!!!!!! :-D ive not seen these 2 sets in shops yet but when i do ill probably pick them up ive seen the new dino helicopter set and i do like it but i dont like the fact that theyve removed the guns. Quote
Lost Viking Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 lol you cant really bring down a mutant T-Rex with a few chains! they need guns. What I dont understand is why they took out the guns in the European version and kept it in the American version but in the old pirate lines they took out the firing cannons in the American version and kept them in the European version, both due to violence issues and laws... *wacko* Quote
KimT Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 I had a talk with a LEGO employee today. She explained why there's a Dino 2010 and a Dino Attack. LEGO did a survey in Germany (the hot spot for selling LEGO in EUROPE) and apparently the German mothers wouldn't buy Dino Attack for their children = LEGO changed the theme to Dino 2010 excluding the weaponry. This lead to massive sales in Germany. Simple as that :| The Germans didn't want weapons = no weapons. THANKS GERMANY ;) KimT NB She also said that as far as she was informed Batman will NOT be release uotside the US >:( Quote
Deinonychus Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 But the T-1 Typhoon just looks so...sad...without guns and rocket pods :( I mean hell, even the vikings have better weapons to fight the dragons and monsters then the Dino 2010 guys have to fight laser-beam firing dinosaurs :P Quote
chump Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 But the T-1 Typhoon just looks so...sad...without guns and rocket pods :( Heck, how about the fact that it doesn't have a rear gunner, but a tricycle on the back. A big helo like that to carry a red tricycle. And a net. Oh the humanity. Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 lol you cant really bring down a mutant T-Rex with a few chains! they need guns. Better yet, CHAINGUNS! What I dont understand is why they took out the guns in the European version and kept it in the American version but in the old pirate lines they took out the firing cannons in the American version and kept them in the European version, both due to violence issues and laws... *wacko* Yeah, laws. I think the cannons you're talking about are different than the cannons that come with the Dino set, right? If so, it's a choking hazard law. Back in the late 1970's, some STUPID kid here swallowed and died on a plastic missille fired from a Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider. Yup... it's all THAT thing's fault. VVVV It was the tiny pellet type that EVERY imported japanese robot toy had back then. They were then outlawed. Toys SUCKED for a very long time afterwards... neutered so bad from their overseas counterparts that it could make one cry. We got The Transformers a few years later in the 1980's, but unlike the japanese versions, Hasbro removed and or shortened the springs inside their missille launchers to the point they couldn't fire. (Leading to many a spring-loaded pen being cannibalized on the operating table in the lunchroom at school by me and my friends.) XD Voltron as well, and too many other cool toys to start mentioning. But recently, toy manufacturers got around the annoying laws by making GIANTLY-stemmed projectiles, like the Lego rubber darts. The tiny cannons however didn't fit the strict requirements. Quote
