Dinosaurs



Dinosaurs was a LEGO theme released in 2001. This theme included different kinds of dinosaur models, in adult for as well as smaller younger forms. This theme did not include any normal minifigures. This theme is the origin of the building style for many animals released later on such as the dewback in 4501 Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars.

Canisters
The four larger sets (6719-6722) were packaged in plastic canisters. These canisters were black, and they had a cuboid form. They have the appearance of a block of stone, with "fossilized" bones being visible. The lid also serves as a stand for the built dinosaurs, even though it could be difficult to place them on it without them falling over.

Boxes and Polybags
The sets 5950 to 5953 and 7000 to 7003 are the smaller sets of the theme. They include baby/young versions of dinosaurs. Those sets are in fact the same, the only difference being 5950 - 5953 were packaged in Polybags, while 7000 - 7003 came in boxes.

Models/Products
The four main dinosaurs, packaged in canisters, include additional parts to rebuild the main dinosaur into another: These are smaller sets in the theme that came in Boxes and Polybags, all released in 2001. The instructions shows images of the alternative models. On the back of the instructions of all Dinosaurs sets, there is a piece of a prehistorical landscape, as playmat to play with the dinosaur.
