    2006-7 seemed to be Legos most edgy phase, combine this with what agree is the darkest and best line of Bionicle (2007) and you have some pretty interesting years.

    Lets not forget that Indiana Jones immediately followed it, which has some of the most war vehicles of any theme including some vehicles such as the T-55 based Jungle Cutter, bombers, machine guns, amphibious cars, everything. Agents was pretty violent to by Lego standards. Really was a particularly violent period of themes in the mid 2000s, which I kinda miss.

    That helicopter is clearly based on the real life Soviet/Russian Mi-24 Hind attack/troop transport helicopter. Interestingly enough, the Hind was also one of the main inspirations for the design of the Republic LAAT Gunship from the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy/Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show. Sadly, given LEGO’s stance of military vehicles, we probably won’t get another helicopter set like that again anytime soon.

    Recently I had the opportunity to purchase a sealed copy of the T1 - Typhoon at a reasonable price. Despite still being in the box the set still feels impressive as the box IS massive, especially with the front flap open where it reveals more info and images on the set. Though I don't plan on opening the set for a multiple reasons, it does feel great finally having this set, as I had none of them when I was younger, since I found out about this theme when I watched KZread videos about Dino Attack and was enamored by the dinosaurs of this theme (This was around 7 years after Dino Attacks original release, so the sets were long gone from store shelves). I also have some of the dinosaurs from the line, and the T - Rex dwarfs practically any other Lego animal and fantasy creature lego has made. The raptor was always my favorite though, mainly due to the fact it looked like my favorite dinosaur at the time ceratosaurus. Also a fun fact about the pteranodon and the raptor, they share the same bodies, so if you switched the heads of the 2 somehow (It seems doable), you could get a green raptor and a yellow pteranodon.

The dinosaurs were so unique and surprisingly large and I loved the vehicles, especially the helicopter.

So seeing these sets way back when I was hyped up! I would be nagging my parents to get me them, specifically the T-1 Typhoon. Never ended up getting any of them sadly. Not until atleast a full decade after they had released on ebay. 2004-2007 Lego were honestly the best years, they truly went all out giving us the best they could at the time.

In Europe it was called Dino 2010 and everything was about CATCHING the Dinos, hardly any guns at all. Instead the builds came with similar cage and net contraptions as we saw in Adventurers Dino Island.

    I do miss a lot of the 2000's and even early 2010's stuff. Current Lego playsets seem okay, but generally lack luster to what they used to be. Sure, nostalgia will always be a factor, and I heard something about Lego nearly going under around 2016(?), but it seems like a lot more care and creativity went into it earlier. The new collector's stuff still holds up and in many ways exceeds the old stuff, but for the kid whose parents aren't going to shell out for Lego Ideas level sets, it just gives the impression of a notable downgrade in quality.

    I miss LEGO's originality in their in-house themes. Really the last one left is Ninjago, and there's a reason it's so popular. There's a lot of heart behind that theme, and no licensing restrictions. I do hope we'll see more unlicensed themes in the future. I do believe there's a market for them
