LEGO is also premiering a line of cartoonish dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles this year. Each can be disassembled and reassembled into different types of ancient beasts. They're not the most accurate dinosaurs around, but the line looks like it will be fun for budding paleontologists.

Rearrange the styracosaur's spikes to create a Triceratops or Centrosaurus, or add a new neck and head to make a Camarasaurus! (Box is a mock-up.):
