About Dino
Tubs, buckets and parks
Several sets double as storage. Dinosaurs Tub (2603-1, 70 pieces) and Large Dino Bucket (2852-1, 59 pieces), both from 1997, pair bricks and animals in a container that keeps everything together after play. Alongside them came scene sets such as Dino World (2604-1, 62 pieces) and Dinosaur Park (2605-1, 46 pieces), which give the dinosaurs a place to live. For families, that combination of play set and storage is often the practical reason to choose one.
The biggest box
Dino Babies (1781-1) leads the theme with 90 pieces, also from 1997. Among the larger sets, later years are thinner: Brontosaurus Family (2600-1, 32 pieces) in 1998 and Dinosaurs Fun Forest (2821-1, 37 pieces) in 1999. The newest set in the theme is Dino Valley (5598-1, 52 pieces) from 2008.
Who it suits
Dinosaurs remain a favourite subject for toddlers, and these sets keep the models simple enough for small hands. For collectors, 16 sets is a realistic target. The parts lists on Bricoria are handy for checking whether a used tub or bucket is complete. It is also worth comparing inventories, since tubs and buckets mix loose bricks with the animal figures.
