As a fellow JP toy collector, I felt I should field this one.  The Kenner 
_Carnotaurus_ and _Quetzalcoatlus_ were released along with the Jurassic 
Park Series 2 collection sometime around Christmas last year.  I happen 
to have _Quetzalcoatlus_, but passed on the only _Carnotaurus_ I saw to 
buy the _Utahraptor_ (complete with capture gear, electronic screams, and 
movable sickle claws).  I've also seen the new _Tyrannosaurus_, but the 
toy stores (at least in the Seattle area) stopped carrying JP stuff 
before the _Gallimimus_ and _Baryonyx_ came out.
