Every Dino Attack Set (2005)

[@thunderspark1536]

2006-7 seemed to be Legos most edgy phase, combine this with what agree is the darkest and best line of Bionicle (2007) and you have some pretty interesting years.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I do wonder what was going on behind the scenes then in the concepting meetings 😂

[@tylerjohn4607]

Lets not forget that Indiana Jones immediately followed it, which has some of the most war vehicles of any theme including some vehicles such as the T-55 based Jungle Cutter, bombers, machine guns, amphibious cars, everything. Agents was pretty violent to by Lego standards. Really was a particularly violent period of themes in the mid 2000s, which I kinda miss.

That helicopter is clearly based on the real life Soviet/Russian Mi-24 Hind attack/troop transport helicopter. Interestingly enough, the Hind was also one of the main inspirations for the design of the Republic LAAT Gunship from the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy/Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show. Sadly, given LEGO’s stance of military vehicles, we probably won’t get another helicopter set like that again anytime soon.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I hadn't even thought about that, but that makes sense :c

[@redenginner]

We’ve gotten a few Chinooks and Blackhawks with City’s PD line so anything is possible.

[@brainblessed5814]

The only thing similar to Hind is two separate cockpits positioned one after (and above) another, which is not even a unique thing to this helicopter.

[@si-mocs]

The scale of the vehicles is crazy... they're pretty actually real life size which is really odd for LEGO that tends to shrink things down... definitely 2nd best Dino theme.

It depends on how you look at it. Minifigures are pretty stout so even though they're sized adequately to fit them horizontally, vehicles proportioned for width end up being super tall

I live in the UK so I got the Dino 2010 chopper - it's crazy how different it is with the cage, and the whole back cockpit simply isn't there with some technic piping and other details to replace it including a detatchable trike. Still have it, absolutely gorgeous set - such nostalgia.

Glad you've hung on to it! Both helicopters are absolutely fantastic models. I honestly had no idea about the trike until you mentioned it - that's a really cool addition!

[@kailahmann1823]

That giant cage (big enough to hold the T-rex!) also results in about 100 more pieces than the US version. Funny enough the stickers are the same, so the heli is also calles "7477" on it's side.

[@meowritz]

Id love to collect both versions of the theme

[@christiangolda]

I’m so impressed with how you were able to keep so many of your childhood sets intact. Many of the sets from my childhood would get broken or rebuilt into something else and sometimes I wish I had that collectors mindset back then

[@CheeseyStudios]

Ha! Not quite 🤣 I had to rebuild all of these. Only one set from my childhood survived intact, and that was the 2005 City Fire Truck.

[@WilliamFe]

Recently I had the opportunity to purchase a sealed copy of the T1 - Typhoon at a reasonable price. Despite still being in the box the set still feels impressive as the box IS massive, especially with the front flap open where it reveals more info and images on the set. Though I don't plan on opening the set for a multiple reasons, it does feel great finally having this set, as I had none of them when I was younger, since I found out about this theme when I watched KZbin videos about Dino Attack and was enamored by the dinosaurs of this theme (This was around 7 years after Dino Attacks original release, so the sets were long gone from store shelves). I also have some of the dinosaurs from the line, and the T - Rex dwarfs practically any other Lego animal and fantasy creature lego has made. The raptor was always my favorite though, mainly due to the fact it looked like my favorite dinosaur at the time ceratosaurus. Also a fun fact about the pteranodon and the raptor, they share the same bodies, so if you switched the heads of the 2 somehow (It seems doable), you could get a green raptor and a yellow pteranodon.

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's so epic. I didn't even realize it had the flap on the box - it's been way too long since I first had that set, ha. I'd hang on to that for as long as you can - I can't imagine there's a lot of sealed copies left!

[@coppertopolo]

First, really like the 'cheesey' background music that you use. Second, those are some awesome Dino sets. Did you ever buy the T-rex Rampage set? Interesting that the first set (7473) had a 'Blue' even before Jurassic World had one.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Would have loved to have gotten my hands on T-Rex Rampage but it's a little out of my price range, haha. That there is certainly the best dinosaur ever included in a kit!

I really enjoy these videos looking back at old themes! Fun fact: the Shadow minifig is meant to pay homage to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character from the movie Commando, while Digger is meant to pay homage to Sylvester Stallone’s character from Rambo.

I do miss a lot of the 2000's and even early 2010's stuff. Current Lego playsets seem okay, but generally lack luster to what they used to be. Sure, nostalgia will always be a factor, and I heard something about Lego nearly going under around 2016(?), but it seems like a lot more care and creativity went into it earlier. The new collector's stuff still holds up and in many ways exceeds the old stuff, but for the kid whose parents aren't going to shell out for Lego Ideas level sets, it just gives the impression of a notable downgrade in quality.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I miss LEGO's originality in their in-house themes. Really the last one left is Ninjago, and there's a reason it's so popular. There's a lot of heart behind that theme, and no licensing restrictions. I do hope we'll see more unlicensed themes in the future. I do believe there's a market for them

I had the ATV, the missile truck, and the tank sets. What a cool line. I wish I'd gotten to complete the series, but the chopper was just too pricy for my parents, and somehow, the dune buggy just slipped by.

[@CheeseyStudios]

The chopper was a crazy large set for its time. Such a great model though!

I remember getting the Iron Predator set from my parents, when I was a kid and I went a year without having to get any holes in my teeth fixed by the dentist. I loved that set and Specs still is one of my favourite Mini figures. (I got the European version without the huge gun tho).

I have got some LEGO Jurassic World Hybrid Dinosaurs such as Indominus Rex(2015),Indoraptor(2018) and Indominus Rex(2020)

[@CheeseyStudios]

The dinosaurs they make today are so incredible. I do love the detailing on the Jurassic World ones!

We had Dino Attack in Australia, I had all those sets except for the jeep.

[@CheeseyStudios]

A very impressive collection!

@@CheeseyStudios Cheers mate. Thanks for bringing back fond memories!

There was official combined 6th model called High Voltage Half-Track. But it appeared only in special edition magazine, so not many people know about it.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Just looked it up - that's super cool! Thanks for sharing. If I ever redo this video, I'll have to include that in it.

[@AIFT_Staff]

@@CheeseyStudios and just right now I learned there was secret alternative models, that was shown on boxes only in earliest produced sets. If you redo this video, can you show them too?

[@eSsk811]

One could say these sets are dinosaurs themselves…..

[@CheeseyStudios]

Oh dear, what does that make me? 😂

I wish there was a tv series of lego dino attack

[@CheeseyStudios]

That would have been wild

Fun fact about the helicopter: one of the stickers on the side says : PLT: ‘Jazz’ Boucher, Nav: ‘Kid’ thorngood. PLT must be short for pilot and NAV navigator. All the minifigs that come in the sets are already named, so these are different people. I wonder why they aren’t in the sets, perhaps they were killed in action? Maybe this writing commemorates them and they were part of the same squad as everyone else, or maybe the helicopter used to be theirs and was taken over by digger and co after something happened to them. The real reason is probably a name change for the characters, but it’s still interesting to think of the implications of it.

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's so interesting! I need to pay more attention to stickers in the future for sure

[@themanwhowouldbebrick]

@@CheeseyStudios yeah definitely!
