This is another nice US pack, - again seems to be a US exclusive at the moment.
 
 
 
I really like the card design, which also includes a "Meat-o-Meter" rating, telling you if the Dinosaur was carnivorous, herbivorous or omnnivorous - meaning meat, plants or both! - my only slight criticism with this is the plant eater colour green is similar to the colour of the main green cards so is a little harder to see, although that may just be my eyesight Geek
 
The cards also include a useful graph, giving a pictoral guide as to how big the dinosaur was against a human, which is a great touch - the cards also give you an idea of where to go and visit the Dinosaur, if it resides in a US Museum, as well as the odd card telling you where the fossils of that Dinosaur were found in the World.
 
Super set though, lovely glossy cards and highly informative and educational Clap

Not just you. I didn't notice it until you said about it.

Nice looking pack. Hope it comes to the UK.

I hope that it is not just a re-desing of the older packs. Hopefully there are all new dino's!

Yes, I'm guessing the design will be similar to the new US deck Clap

Just to clarify my incorrect info above, the UK version isn't a full 3D pack, but there is a 3D bonus card inside, but the pack as a whole is an update to the older Classic Dinosaur pack.

I am not a whinging sort but this revamp of the dinosaurs pack wasn't necessary - the pack is awsome as it is. That said this is one of only a few that can be revamped as many of the packs are of-their-time and wouldn't appeal to the mass-market even if given they were given the make-over treatment. 
The Dark Lord... Pah Its easy when you are dressed all in Black - You should try carrying off this outfit with an Orange Cape...

Yep, have to admit I feel the same. The new pack looks nice and is probably more appealing to younger folk with the brighter colours and the addition of the Meatometer. Necessary? No, but from a financial side it is another new pack so collectors will have to have it, but it is more 'friendly' to newer fans becasue of the re-design.

I just hope that other packs are not re-designed becasue as OUCH says, they are of the moment and would not work.
