Reviewer: Lori A. Stutzman,
My son loved this. We only had a few minor problems getting the pieces to stay together for the arms. He was a bit disappointed that he only had enough to make the dinosaur and no other animals.

I bought this set for my 5 1/2 year old son. He's able to build all the dinosaurs with little help. He likes me to sit beside him and feed him the pieces. I agree with another reviewer about the T-rex, it fell apart upon completion. Fortunately, my son wasn't too distraught, he just built another dinosaur. A container to store all the pieces is a must. Overall, a great toy.
Pretty good....

My Lego obsessed son got this set last Christmas when he was 6 years old. He built the T Rex with very little help, but he had a lot of experience building other simpler Lego sets before and he understood the Lego instruction method. The set may be too difficult for a six or seven year old Lego neophyte to do on his own.

The dinosaurs are very cool and my son loved them. Our major complaint is that the T Rex is not durable enough to actually play with. The pieces fall off, especially the legs. As a display model, it's fine, although the model would stand in only one position. The leg joints would slip and the body would tilt unless it was positioned exactly right.

The other dinos in the kit were much easier to put together (they're much less complex) and they withstood the rigors of playtime better. It would be good if the instruction book had pictures - not instructions but just pictures - of other kinds of creatures that can be made from the components to inspire kids to create their own dinos.

Bottom line: The T Rex kit is pretty cool despite its few shortcomings. At $29.99 (typical store price) I consider the kit to be somewhat overpriced - but that's true of the entire Lego line. Still, there's nothing like real Legos (forget those Megablock imitators!)so I guess it is worth the price. My son certianly thinks so.
