Dinosaur re-assembles to become croc and spider

LEGO has launched the new, remote control Monster Dino 3-in-1 construction systems.

Introducing a 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 thanks to fully mechanized joints - and emit a blood curdling roar.

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 now for around £69.99.
