    I know of 2.
    The allosaur by ANTS, which runs over $175 through the Dinosaur Society
(yes, I have one) which is DAMN AMAZING.  Each bone seperate (except
phalanges and tarsals), eached bagged seperatly, each labelled as to which
specimen it was derived from. It comes with a stand, mounting harness, glue,
tools, a 3-ring binder instruction booklet (half of which is allosaur papers
from the Journal of Paleontology, published with permission), and the whole
thing is sculpted by a dentist.  This should be roughly 38" long when
assembled. (any pose you want)
   The other I've heard about but haven't actually seen. It's from The Black
Hills Institute (they offer it with their catalog) and it's a 5 ft long
sculpture kit of SUE HERSELF (they can sell artistic recreations, but not a
cast).  Starts about $600 if I remember correctly.
