LEGO is stepping back in time for its latest series of robotic creations with the new, remote controlled Monster Dino 3-in-1construction system. The company is a on a role these days with its ass-kicking Mindstorm Robots and now, plans for a kiddies online role-playing game based in the Lego world.

This toothy beast is aimed at 9+ old kids and, all those adults who have never grown up and are already reaching for their plastic. It has a new Power Functions System based on two interchangeable motors that allow Mr. T-Rex to move forwards and backwards with realistic looking mechanised joints. And don’t forget the “blood curdling roar”, designed to freak out your pets and rugrats.

The Transformer element is that each kit has three different build options: a tail-whipping crocodile and “scuttling deadly spider” - all controlled by remote.

Costing £70, the Monster Dino 3-in-1 construction set includes the remote control, two motors, battery box, sound brick and infrared receiver.-Martin Lynch
