Dino 2010 was an alternate version of Dino Attack. The original Dino Attack was too violent and was immediately pulled from shelves from everywhere except in North America. Lego then revised the theme, which contained the same builds but without the weapons and instead included cages for the dinos to be captured in.
Yes! That's what I was gonna post in the comments too. I clearly remember younger me having almost all the (Dino 2010) sets-I loved the huge heli and the sick minifigs-but being super confused when I started playing that one Dino Attack game on the LEGO website. I really wanted to have the same vehicles that were in the game... but given I grew up in central Europe I never had the chance to get my hands on one of the Dino Attack sets.
So in regards to Avatar the Last Airbender, the reason it was two sets wasn't just because the show was gonna end with the third season, but rather they did a competition in 2006 where they released two sets for Avatar TLA and three sets for SpongeBob SquarePants as part of the Nickelodeon theme and whichever show sold the most sets would become its own theme. SpongeBob won by far, and that's why SpongeBob went on to get more sets. I wish Avatar TLA got a third set, a buildable APPA would be *AWESOME*
It would also have made it easier to gauge which theme was in more demand. Like how many parents do you know that are going to buy a kid multiple of the same Lego set aside from battle packs and the like.
As happy as I am with the ship and as content as I am with the tiny temple, I really am curious as to what we could have got if they considered anything past the first three episodes.
It's kind of like if they tried to decide whether to do Studio Ghibli or Family Guy. but made the plane from The Wind Rises and the candy box from Grave of the Fireflies go up against the Griffins' house and The Drunken Clam.
i really hope he was joking because there is no way that avatar the last airbender and avatar (james camerons movie) are for sure not in the same universo or canon
I miss Lego Atlantis, I got the big submarine base as a kid and I still have parts of it kicking around in my bin somewhere, at least my Minifigures from the set are still intact as a memory
Man, one important thing you forgot:( Dino Attack was American version. In this one Heroes were killing dinos using many deadly guns etc. In European version, called Dino 2010, Hunters turned to catchers. In these sets they are using nets and cages to catch em all
All the guns were stated to be "tranquilizers" even in the North American market. That didn't stop me from using them as guns to shoot dinos though lol
Lego Universe actually had more sets or items that you can obtain for the game. There were 10 brick built pods with an exclusive minifigures in a geo cash promo before the game's launch. If you got one, then you could get the minifigure outfit and pod in the game. The second was game cards sold at Toys R Us that had a code to redeem an animal companion to fight in battles with your character.
yeh, and the little mini-site for the fake organization "tracking" the pods, B.R.I.C.K. shame that a lot of that pre-launch content didn't get properly archived, from what i can tell. the game was saved, at least... also, i wouldn't exactly say universe was ahead of its time. it was mis-managed and i don't believe the decision to use the subscription model did it any favors, either. they over-hyped, under-delivered, and then dropped "you need a paid subscription" on everyone. i've read there were internal issues with the actual dev studio, too...
@@ETXAlienRobot201 The game also had game breaking bugs. Years later I remember that. There was a quest to unlock something. To do the quest, you were given the ability to do the thing. If you left early, you couldn't complete the quest. Which meant you were missing out on a big part of the content. I was taken by surprise when the game shut down soon after, so I didn't have much time to try to get that resolved anyway.
Dino Attack and Dino 2010 are similar but separate themes. And yes, there were technically 6 sets, as one was a combo model called the High voltage Half Track.
yeh, i remember being shocked when learning that. they're technically the same theme with regional differences, which is....quite interesting. attack was about fighting and 2010 was about capture. attack had a decently fun little web game, too.
I heard originally Lego were only going to release DINO ATTACK in the USA and VIKINGS in Europe, but fan backlash meant both regions got both lines (albeit Europe got the altered Dino 2010 theme)
I remember reverse engineering the LU rocket set however many years ago. Since then, building different models from LU has become a small pastime for me. Still hold some great memories from when the game was still online.

Wow, I have such fond memories of the Dino Attack theme that I completely forgot about. I remember having the helicopter, tank, and Humvee. I got a lot of play out of these sets too. Setting them up back to back surrounded by dinos, imagining a Jurassic park like scenario :)
I vividly remember that one torso with the knife printed on being an absolute favorite piece of mine and getting around on numerous characters based on whatever I was interested in at the time. Speaks volumes about how unique it felt to me as a kid.
I think with the ben 10 theme, a lot of people (including myself) would have preferred to have minifigures and sets instead of bionicle. We could have gotten an actual omnitrix piece along with minifigures for some of our favourite characters.
What would've been gold is if they released one kinda 'holographic' Minifigure with each other set, sort of so you could collect them for the Omnitrix set.
I have the entire line of Dino Attack (Minus the Dino 2010). I enjoyed each of them when they first came out and the Typhoon is one of my most cherished sets. The series caught me off guard with how big everything is.
I remember the size too. I owned the Fire Hammer vs SUV set, and the vehicle was large enough to be a mobile command center. Despite that, the interior was mostly empty. I think there was only a chair for Viper to sit in.
yeah, i bought the big helicoptor, but it was so big compared to other lego sets, that it wasnt as fun to play with, sold it a year later for retail price
I had the reddish drink stirring Lego inventor set as a kid. Those sets came with a bunch of alternate models. I liked the coin "counter" and dice roller options. That windup motor was a ton of fun to use in Lego cars as a kid. Pretty good buy for $15 back then.
If I remember the story with Lego Avatar was that they put out 2 Avatar sets and 2 Spongebob sets and the idea was that whichever one sold better would get more sets and the other would be discontinued. At least that's the story I was always told.
Nah. LEGO chosing to make the two Avatar sets big & expensive ones (with nothing small & affordable to compliment them) made good sales impossible. Parents after all are easier persuaded by their kids to buy small sets that don't cost tens of pounds/dollars/etc. It'd be like if Airfix released a 1:350 Battleship next to a 1:72 Spitfire, and expected the Battleship to sell more.
I remember really wanting those spybotics sets as a kid. Didn't get any of them though, but I did have two or three of those Inventor sets, including the record and play.
I did in fact get the tiniest of the Dino Attack sets for Christmas at my grandma's in 2007 or 8, whenever it had come out. LEGO has always been something great but unachievable. I only got the tiny sets we could actually afford - if you look online now, those are also the only sets sold out on lego's website, so they're still the only ones people can actually afford. But those are also the worst sets, only containing a handful pieces kids can actually reuse to be creative with and they're not really nice. And at the same time, only desperate or rich parents will buy the expensive sets, that people actually want, that kids can actually play with, that contain pieces that can be reused in creative ways, that are way too expensive, which is why they don't sell. It's such a weird business model
Man that brought back memories. Mostly from the games I played on the Lego website - Dino Attack, Spybotics, but also many others. And I fondly remember the Lego Universe trailer to this day, even though I never played it.
No joke, I had every single set from the Dino Attack line. I had no idea that the helicopter is worth a lot of money. I guess that’s a sign that I need to rebuild mine
Me when SpitBrix thinks Nickelodeon's Avatar the Last Airbender and James Cameron's Avatar are the same thing: *The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai* ...like bruh, how can you make that mistake? You can just tell by the boxes that they're different things! That aside, it's a shame Lego Universe didn't last long. It made me dream big with the things I could build in that game. We need more creativity in the world today. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination. You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
God I miss Lego Universe so much, that was my favorite game when it was still live. I cried when it closed. I was in 4th grade but still, heartbreaking
I think I may have been around the same age and I was left devastated and genuinely depressed. I would love to see Lego bring back Lego Universe stuff. Like maybe a minifigure series set of bags that could contain different kinds of Stromlings and even the four main Lego minifigures.
omg omg i have* ALL* ALL of those ben 10 figures i had no idea. The pieces were compatible with the bionicle hero factory series, and i used to just make the best abominations a summer allowance could buy
The real reason LEGO killed Universe was that they couldn't keep the chat clean. Even with a chat system that only let you type words from a pre-approved list, MMO players are MMO players, and quickly found stand-in workarounds for profanity, insults, et cetera. LEGO couldn't guarantee a family friendly experience, so they burned it all down.
If i remember Correctly, i read in a Book about Lego, which contained Information about Dino Attack/2010. In Attack, the Army tries to stop the Dinos while attacking them. Meanwhile in 2010, the Army tries to capture the Dinos. The Sets also weren't the Same.
exactly, the European market got the less aggressive "Dino 2010" versions. The basic builds are the same, but instead of all the weapons, those had cages and similar stuff.
I was lucky enough to have gotten both Avatar sets when they came out, and are nearly the only sets to have remained on my shelf from the day I first put them together.
Are we not going to talk about how Mixels lasted only 3 years? Like seriously that's just sad, plus the show was only made cause CN thought they didn't have any comedy shows. Still love Mixels
One of my favorite sets was the Drill mech from the Lego Miners series. I don't remember the name though, just sci-fi miners fighting gem golems. The video game was super fun too
You're probably thinking of Rock Raiders. I played the PC game, which was a simple Real Time Strategy game. The Playstation version of the game was about exploration.
Here’s some missed opportunities for LEGO that they could still do today but for whatever reason will not despite being obvious: 1. Getting the Nickelodeon brand back. The NickToons shows from the 1990’s to early 2000’s in particular I think would sell very well, both for being suitable for kids and nostalgia bait. SpongeBob, The Last Airbender, and TMNT are obvious since they’ve been done before, but they could still do so much more like Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, Invader Zim, among many others. Even if they don’t want to give them a lot of actual sets, they could still do decently well with a minifigure series. 2. The Amazing World of Gumball. On the topic of cartoons, Gumball is by far the most liked and successful show Cartoon Network has put out for over a decade, and has basically became the SpongeBob of that side. Not seeing it being represented even back when Dimensions was out was shocking enough, but it’s even more surprising as time goes on. You’d think they’d at the very least make a set of his house with like 8 mini figures in it, Simpsons style. (Except The Simpsons actually had quite a few sets and a minifigure series oddly enough despite being less appropriate for children) It’s honestly very confusing on why they’ve done absolutely *nothing* with it. You think them abandoning the DC theme in more recent years is bad? This is even worse. 3. Anything based on the Fantastic Four and X-Men. Yes they released some rare X-Men stuff over the years, but now that Disney owns the Marvel brand entirely they should be made a lot more often, and Fantastic Four also still has absolutely nothing aside from an appearance in the 2013 game LEGO Marvel Superheroes, and one minifigure once with Doctor Doom in a Spider-Man Daily Bugle set of all things. 4. More stuff related to Bionicle. Outside of the 90 years of play and 2023 Tahu sets, surprisingly very little is being done to celebrate the G1 iteration. I’m not even asking for more construction sets, just brick stuff that makes them more presentable like that new Tahu is, and with more characters. (Especially the rest of the Toa Mata) 5. More Nintendo franchise representation. Nothing too crazy here either, just some Mario and Zelda minifigures would be nice, although I am kinda surprised that LEGO hasn’t tried jumping hard on Pokémon too. (Yes I know another brick company has them, but they could still make a deal to take it themselves) 6. Sonic, definitely Sonic. There’s just so much characters and set ideas they could make out of the classic series, "modern" series, and movies alone that it’s crazy. It’s another set series idea like Gumball that I’m surprised hasn’t been absolutely full of yet. Unlike Gumball though, it at least got a Lego Dimensions and Ideas set representation, which is of course better than the former having nothing. 7. Despicable Me and Illumination. I’m not really a fan of their content, but you’d think there’d be a lot more of it after they made sets for The Rise of Gru. I have no idea if it’s because not enough kids got them and sales were bad or what, but almost every time I see a kid in real life they have at least *some* interest in those dang minions. 8. A Jetsons set, since they did one on The Flintstones, and because of their brief run with Scooby-Doo. It doesn’t even need to be a big one, just a small thing for collectors. Honorable mention goes to some Spider-Man No Way Home stuff, since that movie came out too long ago to promote it now. They could’ve made two sets by the time of its home release: One small with Iron Spider and fully suited up Green Goblin at the bridge, and another medium with Spider-Man’s half Iron suit, Green Goblin in his cape, and all the other big deal characters for the final battle. (The other villains, Tobey’s Spider-Man, and Andrew’s Spider-Man) This would’ve been a much bigger thing than that one time of putting Spider-Man in a Civil War set. It also would’ve given more people an opportunity to have that rare SDCC The Amazing Spider-Man 2 figure, or at least a variation that looked close to it. There was also an Electro polybag to promote that film as well, so I have no idea why they don’t want to do any of it, let alone the fact that they already did sets for Spider-Man 1 and 2 a long time ago before Lego Marvel was a normal thing.
Just one quick note: the new Avatar 2 (the way of water) sets don’t have anything to to with The last airbender. These are two different franchises. The Avatar Movies are a sci-fi story about indigenous people on an alien planet, not the element-bending wonders set on earth from the TV-series
Seeing those dino attack sets brought back some old memories. I had forgotten about the theme but I had set 7474 but am missing most of the parts except for the minifigure.
5:40 these were my first sets. I still have them somewhere. Also, the mixer wasn't the best, but the motor that came with the set could be wound up and it had some nice models that made use of that mechanic.
Lego spybotics may have not lasted, but the accompanying flash game The Nightfall Incident, was an incredible turn based tactics game with your units being programs trying to hack into corporate servers. I have incredibly fond memories of that game
I kinda wish there was an airbender lego line, just the buildings and ships would be awesome, let alone all the fun "bender" pieces they'd be able to make now.
I remember thinking the Dino Attack sets were cool as a kid, and I still think they're cool! I do still have one of the dinosaur figures from these sets displayed in my game room
Dino attack probably has to have the awesome Army like builds Ive ever seen both the minifigs and Dinosaurs. The vehicles in particular are very well build even for a theme in 2005 that gave of the Revenge of The Of Sith sets. The typhoon Helicopter has to be best well build lego copter Ive ever seen.
Mate dino attack was baller. I only got the tank and quad bike when i was a kid but i absolutely loved those sets. Honestly i should try and rebuild them.
Bit of a correction, Spybotics actually didn't have much relation to Mindstorms apart from the fact that the Spybotics core had a similar hardware and software architecture to the Mindstorms RCX Intelligent Brick. The real goal for Spybotics was to try and appeal to the emerging video game fandom with something that combined the concepts behind video games with a _functional_ physical toy, something that had only been tried once before with Nintendo's Robotic Operating Buddy, and hasn't really been attempted since. I feel like with how LEGO's been experimenting with combining electronics and software with their main line products, it's a good time for them to give the concept another go. Especially since the available technology is a lot more advanced. SPIKE has been a disappointment for Mindstorms with its significantly reduced capabilities compared to EV3 or even the old NXT system but the architecture would be perfect for a Spybotics 2.0 theme. One thing I'd like to note is that Spybotics is also an example of how PPP is not always a good indicator of value. The sets didn't have many pieces but contained a very advanced (for its time) programmable control unit with comparable internal capabilities to a similar product that cost just as much if not more _on its own,_ that being the RCX. The Spybotics core likely makes up the bulk of the price of each set.
Those Spybotics sets sound like they were very ambitious for their time. Imagine what they could do now with all the mixed reality apps we have use of.
I'm genuinely shocked at how many errors are in this video 1027 Dino 2010 is not the same as Dino Attack Avatar the last Airbender is not the same as Avatar or Avatar 2
Dino 2010 is the same as Dino Attack, Dino 2010 is just censored to be a little less violent (by focusing on re-capturing the dinos with nets and stuff)
The Inventor Blue set did not have a motor either. The bird would slide along a "zipline" and the wheel would turn, causing its wings to flap. No motors.
Seems to me there's a lot of themes missing here... Throwbots/Slizers, RoboRiders, Galidor, even Chima... Throwbots/Slizers lated the longest of this group and only had something like 12 sets, based on elements and such. Galidor lasted less than a year and the TV show that paired with it only lasted a handful of episodes. RoboRiders only had something like 4 sets (I had "The Boss"). And I think we all know how Chima ended up... they had a couple of the larger sets on clearance at a local Toys R Us during the closing sale for under 20 USD...
I still have the humingosaurus set, for years thought it was the only one in my country because no one that i talked about it in that time even knew it existed and just today i discovered that there were only 1 wave of them
The real reason why _Lego Universe_ was canned was mainly due to *IMPATIENCE* on their part: having only ever experienced Video Games through the immediate returns from their console titles; they never considered playing the long game that an MMO can help net more profits from; especially in-regards to big-name titles like _World of Warcraft:_ which is nearly two decades old and just released its' latest expansion of Dragonflight to a largely positive reception from its audience.

I only got the tiny sets we could actually afford - if you look online now, those are also the only sets sold out on lego's website, so they're still the only ones people can actually afford. But those are also the worst sets, only containing a handful pieces kids can actually reuse to be creative with and they're not really nice. And at the same time, only desperate or rich parents will buy the expensive sets, that people actually want, that kids can actually play with, that contain pieces that can be reused in creative ways, that are way too expensive, which is why they don't sell. It's such a weird business model
Man that brought back memories. Mostly from the games I played on the Lego website - Dino Attack, Spybotics, but also many others. And I fondly remember the Lego Universe trailer to this day, even though I never played it.
There were so many great ones. I wish I could remember the names/themes for all of them; as I'd love to try them again.
Lego Universe would take off today, since it would be a free MMORPG which is a genre a lot of people want
I love Avatar 2 Legend of the Blue Aang
AWESOME
i really love your channel bro, keep up the great work!
No joke, I had every single set from the Dino Attack line. I had no idea that the helicopter is worth a lot of money. I guess that’s a sign that I need to rebuild mine
Me when SpitBrix thinks Nickelodeon's Avatar the Last Airbender and James Cameron's Avatar are the same thing: *The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai* ...like bruh, how can you make that mistake? You can just tell by the boxes that they're different things! That aside, it's a shame Lego Universe didn't last long. It made me dream big with the things I could build in that game. We need more creativity in the world today. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination. You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
God I miss Lego Universe so much, that was my favorite game when it was still live. I cried when it closed. I was in 4th grade but still, heartbreaking
I think I may have been around the same age and I was left devastated and genuinely depressed. I would love to see Lego bring back Lego Universe stuff. Like maybe a minifigure series set of bags that could contain different kinds of Stromlings and even the four main Lego minifigures.
Dude same, it got so bad my mom went and looked for a new game for me and found roblox.
omg omg i have* ALL* ALL of those ben 10 figures i had no idea. The pieces were compatible with the bionicle hero factory series, and i used to just make the best abominations a summer allowance could buy
Apparently Throwbots had such a brief existence that it wasn't considered for this list.
The real reason LEGO killed Universe was that they couldn't keep the chat clean. Even with a chat system that only let you type words from a pre-approved list, MMO players are MMO players, and quickly found stand-in workarounds for profanity, insults, et cetera. LEGO couldn't guarantee a family friendly experience, so they burned it all down.
Dang, I had the Dino Attack tank set growing up and really liked it. I had no idea it was a controversial or sought after set!
If i remember Correctly, i read in a Book about Lego, which contained Information about Dino Attack/2010. In Attack, the Army tries to stop the Dinos while attacking them. Meanwhile in 2010, the Army tries to capture the Dinos. The Sets also weren't the Same.
exactly, the European market got the less aggressive "Dino 2010" versions. The basic builds are the same, but instead of all the weapons, those had cages and similar stuff.
It's like *Carnosaur* vs *Jurassic Park II* XD
Never heard of Spybotics but they look really cool. Lego Dimensions was also a cool multiverse theme. They should continue it again.
I was lucky enough to have gotten both Avatar sets when they came out, and are nearly the only sets to have remained on my shelf from the day I first put them together.
Making a functioning LEGO blender set was a mistake. And getting one was one of my biggest regrets in collecting LEGO.
My brother got a number of the Dino Attack sets from Ebay, and I also remember having the Inventor "climbing" set (the yellow monkey).
Never had any Spybotics, but that video game you showed alongside them was my jam back in the day.
I still have lego spidermonkey and the green alien from Ben 10. I was really into Bionicles and wanted to see its glow in the dark function as a kid.
I got a Santa set for the mini figure.
@Nоt RiскrоII 🅥 I am not a fool. This is the full video.
@Nоt RiскrоII 🅥 aww thank you that was so cute
Me with the gingerbread house
Great Vid! Btw at 1:37 you acidently wrote 2015-1017 and not 2015-2017. But still keep up the great work !
1027
I have a working purple spybotics set. Was fun back in the day
5:20
4093: What is my purpose?
Me: You stir chocolate milk.
4093: Oh. My. God.
In the Macys thanksgiving parade, there was a Lego parade float 😮
Dino attack! That takes me back, I used to have every set in that theme, I miss it a lot
07:05 omg I remember as a kid I wanted that helicopter so badly because it was the closest thing to a attack helicopter, these looked so cool as a kid
Are we not going to talk about how Mixels lasted only 3 years?
Like seriously that's just sad, plus the show was only made cause CN thought they didn't have any comedy shows.
Still love Mixels
One of my favorite sets was the Drill mech from the Lego Miners series. I don't remember the name though, just sci-fi miners fighting gem golems. The video game was super fun too
Also the Mars Mechs were super cool
Power miners?
You're probably thinking of Rock Raiders. I played the PC game, which was a simple Real Time Strategy game. The Playstation version of the game was about exploration.
@@jardex2275 yes, I ended up finding the name and posted it elsewhere. But thanks for lookin out!
I remember Dino Attack, I wanted one so bad but never got one. The flash game on LEGO's website was my favorite on the site.
you really hit us with lego universe in the first 30 seconds
Spybotics was an amazing toy, thanks for reminding me about it. Probably still have them in the LEGO box somewhere.
I still wish that LEGO made more stranger things sets.
Here’s some missed opportunities for LEGO that they could still do today but for whatever reason will not despite being obvious:
1. Getting the Nickelodeon brand back. The NickToons shows from the 1990’s to early 2000’s in particular I think would sell very well, both for being suitable for kids and nostalgia bait. SpongeBob, The Last Airbender, and TMNT are obvious since they’ve been done before, but they could still do so much more like Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, Invader Zim, among many others. Even if they don’t want to give them a lot of actual sets, they could still do decently well with a minifigure series.
2. The Amazing World of Gumball. On the topic of cartoons, Gumball is by far the most liked and successful show Cartoon Network has put out for over a decade, and has basically became the SpongeBob of that side. Not seeing it being represented even back when Dimensions was out was shocking enough, but it’s even more surprising as time goes on. You’d think they’d at the very least make a set of his house with like 8 mini figures in it, Simpsons style. (Except The Simpsons actually had quite a few sets and a minifigure series oddly enough despite being less appropriate for children) It’s honestly very confusing on why they’ve done absolutely *nothing* with it. You think them abandoning the DC theme in more recent years is bad? This is even worse.
3. Anything based on the Fantastic Four and X-Men. Yes they released some rare X-Men stuff over the years, but now that Disney owns the Marvel brand entirely they should be made a lot more often, and Fantastic Four also still has absolutely nothing aside from an appearance in the 2013 game LEGO Marvel Superheroes, and one minifigure once with Doctor Doom in a Spider-Man Daily Bugle set of all things.
4. More stuff related to Bionicle. Outside of the 90 years of play and 2023 Tahu sets, surprisingly very little is being done to celebrate the G1 iteration. I’m not even asking for more construction sets, just brick stuff that makes them more presentable like that new Tahu is, and with more characters. (Especially the rest of the Toa Mata)
5. More Nintendo franchise representation. Nothing too crazy here either, just some Mario and Zelda minifigures would be nice, although I am kinda surprised that LEGO hasn’t tried jumping hard on Pokémon too. (Yes I know another brick company has them, but they could still make a deal to take it themselves)
6. Sonic, definitely Sonic. There’s just so much characters and set ideas they could make out of the classic series, "modern" series, and movies alone that it’s crazy. It’s another set series idea like Gumball that I’m surprised hasn’t been absolutely full of yet. Unlike Gumball though, it at least got a Lego Dimensions and Ideas set representation, which is of course better than the former having nothing.
7. Despicable Me and Illumination. I’m not really a fan of their content, but you’d think there’d be a lot more of it after they made sets for The Rise of Gru. I have no idea if it’s because not enough kids got them and sales were bad or what, but almost every time I see a kid in real life they have at least *some* interest in those dang minions.
8. A Jetsons set, since they did one on The Flintstones, and because of their brief run with Scooby-Doo. It doesn’t even need to be a big one, just a small thing for collectors.
Honorable mention goes to some Spider-Man No Way Home stuff, since that movie came out too long ago to promote it now. They could’ve made two sets by the time of its home release: One small with Iron Spider and fully suited up Green Goblin at the bridge, and another medium with Spider-Man’s half Iron suit, Green Goblin in his cape, and all the other big deal characters for the final battle. (The other villains, Tobey’s Spider-Man, and Andrew’s Spider-Man) This would’ve been a much bigger thing than that one time of putting Spider-Man in a Civil War set. It also would’ve given more people an opportunity to have that rare SDCC The Amazing Spider-Man 2 figure, or at least a variation that looked close to it. There was also an Electro polybag to promote that film as well, so I have no idea why they don’t want to do any of it, let alone the fact that they already did sets for Spider-Man 1 and 2 a long time ago before Lego Marvel was a normal thing.
7:05 The big dinos even had a 2x2 stud grid on their back so that the minifigures could ride them.😄
Dino attack was so awesome. Also bro, that avatar 2 joke was hilarious
Just one quick note: the new Avatar 2 (the way of water) sets don’t have anything to to with The last airbender. These are two different franchises. The Avatar Movies are a sci-fi story about indigenous people on an alien planet, not the element-bending wonders set on earth from the TV-series
1:37 wow! A thousand years!
Inventor line triggered some deep locked memories in me, which I already forgot. What the hell, recalling something like this is wierd.
Seeing those dino attack sets brought back some old memories. I had forgotten about the theme but I had set 7474 but am missing most of the parts except for the minifigure.
from 2015 to 1027
5:40 these were my first sets. I still have them somewhere. Also, the mixer wasn't the best, but the motor that came with the set could be wound up and it had some nice models that made use of that mechanic.
8:37 the amount of people you just triggered is impressive
Man I remember Lego universe! I played it all the time as a young kid
Lego spybotics may have not lasted, but the accompanying flash game The Nightfall Incident, was an incredible turn based tactics game with your units being programs trying to hack into corporate servers. I have incredibly fond memories of that game
I kinda wish there was an airbender lego line, just the buildings and ships would be awesome, let alone all the fun "bender" pieces they'd be able to make now.
Vidiyo was beautifully short-lived
I remember thinking the Dino Attack sets were cool as a kid, and I still think they're cool! I do still have one of the dinosaur figures from these sets displayed in my game room
Dino attack is by far my favorite standard Lego line
Dino attack probably has to have the awesome Army like builds Ive ever seen both the minifigs and Dinosaurs. The vehicles in particular are very well build even for a theme in 2005 that gave of the Revenge of The Of Sith sets. The typhoon Helicopter has to be best well build lego copter Ive ever seen.
Dino Attack was kind of awesome. Fond memories.
Mate dino attack was baller. I only got the tank and quad bike when i was a kid but i absolutely loved those sets. Honestly i should try and rebuild them.
Bit of a correction, Spybotics actually didn't have much relation to Mindstorms apart from the fact that the Spybotics core had a similar hardware and software architecture to the Mindstorms RCX Intelligent Brick. The real goal for Spybotics was to try and appeal to the emerging video game fandom with something that combined the concepts behind video games with a _functional_ physical toy, something that had only been tried once before with Nintendo's Robotic Operating Buddy, and hasn't really been attempted since.
I feel like with how LEGO's been experimenting with combining electronics and software with their main line products, it's a good time for them to give the concept another go. Especially since the available technology is a lot more advanced. SPIKE has been a disappointment for Mindstorms with its significantly reduced capabilities compared to EV3 or even the old NXT system but the architecture would be perfect for a Spybotics 2.0 theme.
One thing I'd like to note is that Spybotics is also an example of how PPP is not always a good indicator of value. The sets didn't have many pieces but contained a very advanced (for its time) programmable control unit with comparable internal capabilities to a similar product that cost just as much if not more _on its own,_ that being the RCX. The Spybotics core likely makes up the bulk of the price of each set.
God the Record and Play set was such a big part of my childhood, even if I was bad at using it.
I have humungosaur. I like to mix and match with my star wars buildable figures.
Those Spybotics sets sound like they were very ambitious for their time. Imagine what they could do now with all the mixed reality apps we have use of.
The Monster Fighter sets were an still are some of my favorite LEGO sets
I think I had every single Dino Attack set. Those were some of my favorites as a kid.
I'm genuinely shocked at how many errors are in this video
1027
Dino 2010 is not the same as Dino Attack
Avatar the last Airbender is not the same as Avatar or Avatar 2
Dino 2010 is the same as Dino Attack, Dino 2010 is just censored to be a little less violent (by focusing on re-capturing the dinos with nets and stuff)
The Inventor Blue set did not have a motor either. The bird would slide along a "zipline" and the wheel would turn, causing its wings to flap.
No motors.
3:30 I owned all four sets.... lol I always wondered why they didn't release anything more in that line...
Ngl I watched this last week
I love the Dino Attack and Avatar sets.
My god... the spybotics.... MY GOD... you brought memories back i totaly forgot, i remember having one of those as a child. M Y G O D
Oh my gosh, I totally have/had some of these sets. Had no idea they were this rare now
I have both Dino Attack sets and all of the spybotics sets!! Loved them as a kid.
Seems to me there's a lot of themes missing here... Throwbots/Slizers, RoboRiders, Galidor, even Chima... Throwbots/Slizers lated the longest of this group and only had something like 12 sets, based on elements and such. Galidor lasted less than a year and the TV show that paired with it only lasted a handful of episodes. RoboRiders only had something like 4 sets (I had "The Boss"). And I think we all know how Chima ended up... they had a couple of the larger sets on clearance at a local Toys R Us during the closing sale for under 20 USD...
Pretty sure Throwbots only had 8 sets (2 waves of 4), unless the Slizers version got more that just never came to the States.
LEGO DINO ATTACK/2010 AND HIS GAME IS ONE OF THE BEST THEMES OF LEGO EVER, PERFECTION!!!!
I really liked the video! But I just wanted to point out a small mistake at 1:36, it says 2015-1027 instead of 2015-2017
i loved dino attack and have most of the sets. the trex and raptors for the line in particular are great
Lego Universe was such a great game. Always loved it and still wish to this day it was still around.
Fun Dino Attack Fact: That's no dinosaur, that's a demon cyborg hybrid lizard from hell.
Nobody is gonna mention the fact he called the ship the FIRST nation ship when it’s commonly known as the FIRE nation ship
~6:00 he gets into actual minifig sets
I loved Lego Universe. I recently built every single pet that you could get in the game in the correct colors (that are available).
Here at 19 seconds, happy thanksgiving!
I loved the lego spybots as a kid! I thought the idea was very novel, setting up obstacles and playing the missions on my old compaq laptop.
spybotics was a fun line with the whole programmable mission thing, though it was clumsy and required a really dark room to work well
I still have the humingosaurus set, for years thought it was the only one in my country because no one that i talked about it in that time even knew it existed and just today i discovered that there were only 1 wave of them
The real reason why _Lego Universe_ was canned was mainly due to *IMPATIENCE* on their part: having only ever experienced Video Games through the immediate returns from their console titles; they never considered playing the long game that an MMO can help net more profits from; especially in-regards to big-name titles like _World of Warcraft:_ which is nearly two decades old and just released its' latest expansion of Dragonflight to a largely positive reception from its audience.
