It’s amazing how Lego dinosaurs have evolved over the years.
That pteranadon looks so small in that pic! I could've sworn they were bigger. Must be a framing issue.
The figure looks cool. Hard to tell about the pteranadon's appeal to me from this picture though.
I can't tell you why, but when I see Adventurers sets pop up here in the random sets of the day, it always makes me smile. And Dino Island was a good theme, but most of the Adventurers sets were.
Anyway, I own this little guy. The pteranodon is actually larger than it looks (the photo's perspective is off), but it's another one of those cute little scenery-building sets.
My second ever lego set, from when I was in kindergarten. That pteranandon was soooo cool to me, and still is one of my prized possessions! Small but a ton of fun nevertheless
What a coincident that this set showed up after the Jurassic World set review. :-)
@Huw - slightly unrelated question, is there a way to tweak the "current value" section of set pages so it only pulls the complete set value from bricklink? The number of times I've seen a set I want at a good price and thought 'ooh, I'll get that' only to find that's the price for just the random tiny piece of background foliage is a bit embarrassing.
Would love to see a return of the adventurers!
Great set. I had all 4 little sets that together formed a nice airplane :)
@JonMarten I think it's better to contact Huw using the "get in touch" contact form below for this kind of questions and suggestions!
