I may be forgetting one or two, but I believe I currently own 21 Tyrannosaurus rex toys. :D

Great photo, Dinomike!

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.

How'd you decide which babies to keep? :)
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Not including bits of fossil and teeth, I have about 140 Triceratops.

Coming in second is eight Parasaurolophus.
In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

I kept the ones which took up the least space. So nearly all of the sauropods went :'( I liked to buy kits in 1/20 scale, so you can imagine how much room a sauropod in that scale would take up. It was fun while it lasted, but you have to know when enough is enough, in my opinion. I still collect, but I intend to stick to small scale stuff from now on.

Out of all those, I have none, unless you count the Brown Papo Standing Rex as the same as the green one.  I might get Rebor Y-Rex, still up in the air about it.

I want the brown one so badly because she looks like Rexy from Jurassic Park. She even has lip scars.
OH- I forgot to mention I have a huge T-Rex Skeleton Model. X-x does that count?

Next in my line for the genus I have the most of would be raptors, which I have 8 of.
Jurassic Park  Raptor
The Lost World Jurassic Park Raptor
Jurassic Park Chaos Effect Alpha Raptor
Rebor Utahraptor
Papo Velociraptor (2nd run)
2 Green Schleich Velociraptors
Brownish Schleich Velociraptor.

Dinomike, what is the one in the foreground that has a display base and is feathered, I believe. That looks really cool!

Definitely Parasaurolophus! it was my favourite as a kid, and as a result I've sort of accumulated them. I have twelve, not counting the ones I'm planning on getting rid of:

- Papo
- Schleich World of History with 2012 paint scheme
- Carnegie with original colour scheme
- Two AAAs
- No less than SEVEN various off-brand models, including four different UKRD variations!

I used to have more, but I got rid of some of the uglier off-brand ones. Still, I think I can consider myself a crazy Para hoarder.  :-[  That's probably it, though, unless I start collecting high-end resin and Shapeways stuff, which I probably will some day. ATM my main focus is reasonably accurate Velociraptor models, which is at least a cheaper and less space-eating endeavour!

Interesting responses, guys.

Stegosaurus would be my number one. I have 6 steggos. Runners up would be Carnotaurus, Brachiosaurus, and T-Rex.

Without being physically near my collection at present I'm going to assume I have more Allosaurus - at least that's one genus I actively go after. I have the Carnegie and WS versions, Papo, the disappointingly blobby Bullyland, the semi-decent old Schleich (based on a Raul Martin illustration), Collecta Saurophaganax, Dinosaur King mini Allosaurus and Saurophaganax, and both huge and small Kaiyodos.
The last few days' slightly obsessive hunt for the JW one has so far proved fruitless...

Tyto_Theropod

I'm that way about (reasonably accurate!!!) Velociraptors ATM, partly because I've got all the decent Paras available right now. Still looking for the old WS and baby - I had them as a kid, and I'd love to own them again if only for the nostalgia value.
