Description

A dinosaur on the move

The idea behind this set is simple: a dinosaur has been captured and now has to be carried away, so you need a sturdy vehicle. The set belongs to the Dino Island strand of Adventurers, where explorers and hunters push through the jungle. Five minifigures give you enough of a cast for crew, helpers and onlookers. If you enjoy acting out scenes, the vehicle, the people and the plot all arrive in one box, with no need to hunt around for extras first.

Colours and part variety

The main colours are black, light grey, white and brown. That suits a transporter that looks like heavy machinery yet still belongs in a jungle setting. What stands out is the ratio of pieces to part types: 329 pieces are spread across 99 different parts. That points to a varied build with plenty of special shapes rather than endless repeats of the same brick. Whether any of them are rare is something the parts list on this page can tell you, with every entry listed by colour.

Built in an afternoon

With around three hundred pieces, the build fits into a single afternoon, even for newcomers. Afterwards it is more of a set to play with than one to put on a shelf, since the transporter can be pushed along, loaded up and parked in a scene. If you own other sets from the same period, you can mix the figures and backdrops together. Sets from 2000 show nicely how much play value was packed into a fairly modest piece count back then.

Reusing the bricks

If you already own the set, or only want certain parts from it, the complete parts list is the place to start. Comparing it with your own collection shows which bricks you already have and what is still missing. The “What can I build?” tool on this site also suggests other sets you could rebuild from the parts you hold. That way an old transporter quickly turns into raw material for new ideas, such as a vehicle of your own design or a small jungle scene.
