It's a different package, with just three dinosaurs--the blue suchomimus, the plesiosaurus, and one that I forgot. I'll look for a pic online.

In that case, I have to pop into toys R us over the Winter holiday and do some investigating  |

*Sigh* The Toys R Us stores over here in Canada are so miserably late in receiving new shipments, I've been looking for the plesiosaurus for several months and they still haven't gotten it in  |

Hmm, the fake WwD liopleurodon looks better than I expected.  The imitation WwD set is from TS Toys. It's available as a set from dinofarm and was on eBay a few weeks ago. (I should've bid on the muttaburrasaurus)  |

Well, there are no Toys R Us in Ireland as far as I am aware. I will check out the UK store when I fly back soon.
Yes, I quite like the WWD Lio fake - sure is tacky though.

I have this one:  It's a Safari miniature. I have two more plesiosaurs and another pliosaur, but I haven't uploaded the pics. Be patient! EDIT: These are the plesiosaurs Plesiosaurus:  This one was made by Topps back in the 90's. It was a secret premium that came with some candy. Elasmosaurus:  This one was made by a Mexican company (Ricolino) a few years ago. It also was a secret premium and included a piece of chocolate. |

Oh man Tomhet- where did you GET these from!? I thought my list was pretty complete, but not so.
Thanks for fishing these out for me.
Interesting that they all have the typical swan-neck pose.
I will update my page again soon.
cheers!

In that case, I have to pop into toys R us over the Winter holiday and do some investigating I popped in to my local toys r us today. What a big pile of crap! Almost no dinos whatsoever, just some awful giant rubber monstrosities, and two scanky schleich replicas. Damn it - I was really hoping for the dinovalley plesiosaurus  Whats wrong with kids these days!? Shouldn't they be demanding dinosaurs? |

Shouldn't they be demanding dinosaurs? I guess Toys R Us branches are the same the world over. No good dinos here either, just the same rubbery horrors (we don't even have the Schleich at Toys R Us here). O tempora! O mores! is the only thing I could say about the dubious taste kids have in toys nowadays *cough* Thor *cough* Even the 'specialty' toy stores have relatively few 'museum-quality' dinosaurs. |
