Which genus of dinosaur do you own the most?

All my JP stuff bumps up T. rex to the top of the list. I have a lot of different Triceratops too. My sauropods are almost all Apatosaurus or Brachiosaurus (my two favorites coincidentally).

or non avian dinosaur, thats harder, but I guess dromaeosaurs (not a genus I know, but most of the figures are so generic it doesn't matter)

It's probably no surprise that the genus Tyrannosaurus dominates--even though I don't particularly try to seek them all out.

But if we aren't limited to dinosaurs, then Panthera actually wins. Mostly because of all the species involved (although fewer lions, because I don't seek them out any more than I seek Tyrannosaurus).

Point of interest--ignoring taxonomic vagaries (changes to lumps and splits here and there because I don't always keep up with them) I apparently have representatives of 1354 genera, all told (plus +1 for the mythical things that are classed as 'none'). Plus I have a couple more coming... 8)

amargasaurus cazaui

(very innocent look) Well I did a nose and tail count and came up with over thirty psittacosaurus, so ........I guess you all saw that coming.Howeverif I lump sauropods all together I have over a hundred easy....mine is a small collection however and admittedly light on theropods.
Authors with varying competence have suggested dinosaurs disappeared because of meteorites...God's will, raids by little green hunters in flying saucers, lack of standing room in Noah's Ark, and palaeoweltschmerz—Glenn Jepsen

I think in many collections this stegosaurus, t rex and triceratops, for the reason that each line has a toy of these animals. Today just got my new Triceratops safari   ^-^

Triceratops, easily! Eight specimens in my collection proper represent Triceratops. Additionally, there's the Papo Triceratops and  a Crash McCreery illustration from my Jurassic Park collection, then two goofy "Chinasaurs" that aren't on display, and the Safari Triceratops, which I no longer display for accuracy reasons but keep because it looks nice. Then, if you take into account my Power Rangers collection, I have two Triceratops Power Coins, one full-size Triceratops helmet, one scaled replica Triceratops helmet, two Triceratops Dinozords, one figure of the Triceratops Ranger himself, and one autographed photo featuring the Triceratops costume. In total, that's twenty-one Triceratops, unless I missed something.

Meso-Cenozoic

That's easy. Tyrannosaurus rex! I have around 20. I counted at least 19 from what I can see and what I remembered I still had stored. (Still trying to reconfigure my display space. Seems to be a yearly task!)
And I only have "museum" line figures (I say this a bit loosely considering some of the companies. ;) ) from the main figure companies: Carnegie, WS, Safari's other lines, Bullyland, Schleich, CollectA and Papo.
I still don't have any Favorites. No doubt that line will appear in the future at some point.

I guess I should have included numbers--I apparently have 81 Tyrannosaurus. Second only to the 81 Panthera.

I just realized ,t hat should say 87 Panthera.

Keeping in mind that not every one of them is...high quality or display worthy ;)


laticauda

Stegosaurus.  T-rex or triceratops don't even make my top three.  ;)

Halichoeres

It's not a dinosaur, but Plesiosaurus. I have three. For dinosaurs strictly speaking, it's a tie among several genera for which I have 2 each: Triceratops, Beipiaosaurus, Deinonychus, Velociraptor, Dilong, Tyrannosaurus, Hypsilophodon, Caudipteryx, Microraptor, Maiasaura, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Protoceratops, Oviraptor, and Styracosaurus. I maintain my collection at a small size.

Due to being a JP Collector and if I also count the pieces from two board games I own, it is clearly Velociraptor. Well, outdated Velociraptor...
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I seem to own at least 9 Trexes so he wins by a landslide!

I sold off a large percentage of my collection due to space concerns. Most of the species I own now are of a single number. Except for three ammonites. So, ammonites it is.

It was hard to do but I'm much happier now.
