LEGO takes a monstrous leap into the Jurassic period with the new, remote control Monster Dino 3-in-1 construction system.

Introducing an advanced new Power Functions System designed to bring Creator sets to life via the integration of two interchangeable motors, the Monster Dino can walk and roar at the touch of a button. Controlled by an independent hand-unit, Monster Dino can move forwards, backwards and emit a blood curdling roar with fully mechanized joints making it terrifyingly realistic.

The unique LEGO Creator concept challenges builders aged 9+ to combine and create each kit into three different build options. In this case, Monster Dino can be re-assembled to introduce two alternative predators – a tail-whipping crocodile and scuttling deadly spider each powered by remote control.

The Monster Dino 3-in-1 construction set includes the hand held remote control unit, two motors, battery box, sound brick and infrared receiver and will be available from August 2007 priced around £69.99.
