Stegosaurus Reviews
Brickipedia
“731 pieces to build a Stegosaurus with 4 long spikes on his tail, and eyes that light up using a Power Functions light-up brick. The eyes are made out of glow-in-the-dark plastic, so it continues to appear illuminated even when the light-up brick is not turned on.”

“This 3-in-1 model kit creates three different dinosaurs, each with light up eyes. Each dino is mostly green in color, with gray, brown, and yellow highlights. With large sized models and functional yet sturdy moving parts, these dinosaurs are great to build and durable... More enough to play with afterward.”

About Creator
The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.
