All LEGO Dinosaurs sets
The LEGO Dinosaurs theme brings together 6 sets, all released in 2001, built around two young dinosaurs: the Ankylosaurus and the Brachiosaurus. Each model has 31 or 37 pieces, for an average of 34 pieces per set, in tones of gray, sand green and black.
Six 2001 sets built around two dinosaurs
The LEGO Dinosaurs theme has 6 sets, all released in 2001. It is built around two plant-eating dinosaurs, the Ankylosaurus and the Brachiosaurus, each spread over three set numbers.
On the Ankylosaurus side, there are the 5950 Baby Ankylosaurus, the 6723 Young Ankylosaurus (The Stiff Lizard) and the 7000 Baby Ankylosaurus. On the Brachiosaurus side, the theme includes the 5952 Baby Brachiosaurus, the 6726 Young Brachiosaurus (The Arm Lizard) and the 7002 Baby Brachiosaurus.
Compact models of 31 and 37 pieces
These are small sets. The three Ankylosaurus sets have 37 pieces each, which makes them the largest in the theme, while the three Brachiosaurus sets have 31 each. The average comes to 34 pieces per set, whereas the average across the whole catalog reaches 389.
With so few pieces, each dinosaur takes the form of a compact model, far from the large builds found elsewhere in the catalog. The names Baby and Young also show that these are young animals, with the nicknames The Stiff Lizard and The Arm Lizard for two of them.
A palette of gray, sand green and black
The pieces split between Light Gray at 29%, Sand Green at 26%, Black at 21% and Dark Gray at 19%. Tan rounds out the palette at 4%.
These shades, shared by all six sets, give the theme a consistent identity: two species, a single year, and pieces in the same dominant tones of gray, green and black.
