I used to work in a toy store and one of the more popular items among
children who were interested in science was a series of vinyl
replicas.  The company, whose name has slipped my mind, made scaled
replicas of whales(2 sets), sharks, reptiles(i.e. alligators,etc.),
and turtles.  They were very acurate and detailed, down to the color
of the eyes, and they were very affordable, ranging $12.00 - $19.00
for a set of five.  I'm sure, if there are any interested parties,
the company could be persuaded to make a dinosaur series.  I will try
to post the company name and address after my next visit to the mall.
