Got an Ebay order today. I bought the Tamiya Parasaurolophus and Chasmosaurus, but instead of the Chasmo, they sent the old triceratops. Not the first time this has happened and I can understand "normal" people not being able to tell the difference between dinos, but surely they can see a difference in the spelling? Triceratops doesn't spell Chasmosaurus or Styracosaurus. Aside from that it they were selling for a good price, around $13, and Tamiya sets can go for a lot higher than that. The Parasaurolophus is absolutely gorgeous.

HAHAHAH I love how you call "Them" "normal". I don't think you should sell dinosaurs if you don't know how to distinguish Triceratops from Chasmosaurus.

I've actually had this problem before with Styracosaurus. Also, the number of misnamed dinosaurs on Ebay is astounding - Stegosaurus is often named Triceratops. A tip for Ebay users - if you're after a particular genus of dino toy, try using spelling mistakes. You get a lot of results for "triceratop" for instance.

They should just sell...other stuff. They'd be happier doing that.

The Triceratops in that line is almost twice as big as your intended target of Chasmosaurus,so you ended up with something that cost the seller more...

I'm quite fond of that WS parasaurolophus - resembles the old Battat one.

I also have seen quite a lot Theropods either named Tyrannosaurus/T-REX or Velociraptor.  Including thoise where the name is printed on their belly.
You also often see them in lots.  Usually you have all the mammals properly named, but the Dinosaurs are just called Dinosaurs.

That's not the worse I've seen. Only recently I've bought a JP Red Rex, which was labelled as Triceratops. People never cease to surprise me.

Nah, not that lucky. I could've posed the newer triceratops differently to the one I already had, but this was the old retro one. I'm just letting my niece paint it, so here comes another bright pink dinosaur....

I saw a frilled lizard labelled as a Dilophosaurus. I headdesked.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Some excellent models! The Master Fossil T-Rex is fabulous. Too bad I've missed out on it.

I think I saw the Master Fossil Rex on ebay recently.

I would've posted these in the eBay section, but since you specifically mentioned it here...

They and especially the shipping ain't cheap!

Speaking of the WS Para, don't you think that Wild Safari should create more Hadrosaurs? (this question is not just aimed at Dinomike)

[Arul]

The searching is finally over !!! Minifigure WWD gorgosaurus. I got this from my 26th blind bag  Next mission is custom it

[triceratops83]

Definitely, especially considering how popular their Gryposaurus is.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. How about a new Corythosaurus!

[triceratops83]

Yeah, either that or Hypacrosaurus. The old Safari Hypacrosaurus is nearly impossible to find.

[sauroid]

or new and/or obscure ones like their Grypo.

My recent dinosaur haul:

Got some 3D Blurays of Walking with Dinosaurs 3D and Planet Dinosaur 3D, and the DVD set (no Bluray available) of Terra Nova, which I enjoyed despite it missing out on reaching its potential, because it still had dinosaurs and time travel, and it was filmed just over the hills from where I live! I also got this cute dinosaur card game and two little figures. One is a Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus I think, but is mislabelled as a Tanystropheus. They were only $2 each and I needed my dinosaur fix.

Absolutely! A Lambeosaurus or an Edmontosaurus with the recently found comb on its head would be pretty sweet! Maybe we ought to start a petition? I just received the Sue and Anatotitan set by Doug Watson and it is gorgeous!

Congrats! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
