jamesster Posted August 25, 2019 Stumbled across this several months ago, thought maybe some folks here would find it curious: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0Wexy All the art there is under one post for Dino Racers, but on his website he lists them as two separate concepts, the other being "Hero Knights": https://www.wasabi-robot.com/portfolio Pretty outlandish designs for the time but much more in line with the sort of action themes and vehicle sets you'd expect today.

Whoa... ...is this the first time the AFOL community has ever heard of these two concept themes? Seriously excellent find @jamesster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clone OPatra Posted August 28, 2019 What a great find! I have so many questions about these. Most of all, I wonder if this was something in actual active development, or if LEGO just commissioned ideas from people? These definitely look like a preliminary concept art stage of design. If these were taken further at the time, perhaps they would've been System/Slider hybrids? In a way, that is what we've gotten to today, with so many dragons, mechs, etc. combining LEGO system parts with Bionicle-type limbs and connections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego David Posted September 30, 2019 Wow... The DIno-Racers seemed like a pretty cool concept! I would really like to see this concept revisited some day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pisces no Aphrodite Posted October 29, 2019 I hope that Dino-racers still come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
