I was just wondering where everyone buys their Dinosaurs online and if there were better/cheaper places to buy than other places. I live in Australia and have to get most brand dinosaurs from the US and find the 'dinosaur park' has reasonable postage cost's and a good selection of Dinosaur's. So where does everyone else shop?  |

Now i remember, i had seen their site before but couldn't find information on how to pay and left in a huff  , I still can't find out how they take payments. I will email them and ask if i have too. |

I think you can pay via credit card. Put an item in your basket, and proceed to checkout. The info should come up. I gave my mom a list from there, so I hope credit cards will work. I also got my Wild Safari stuff ( including the Leptoceratops) at theBIGzoo.com. I got the 08 stego, lepto, smilodon and doedicurus for 23 dollars incuding shipping. I have no idea what shipping to Australia costs though........

I am going to be honest--I have ordered from Dinofarm three times in my life--and they have screwed up every time. It was always resolved quickly and satisfactorily, but it was still annoying. On the other hand, I have a Bully Mastodonsaurus because they got confused when I ordered a Bully Gomphothere (because it is labelled Mastodon gomphothere or something like that).
My personal favourite is TGF Toys--they have most of the current popular lines--Safari, Papo, Bully, Schleich, Procon--plus many others. They carry moderns as well as dinos (which I do collect) so it is a one-stop shop for me. They also do the whole knights/dragons lines. etc. Best of all, for those of us outside the US, they do not tack on excessive handling charges.

Oh, and here is another one www.hobbyandtoycentral.com/products.htm?PG=1I only recently found them--the most interesting thing is that they seem to have quite a few discontinued figures still available (but no idea of how many of each). |

There are several discontinued ones still there (I personally picked up a crocodile shark, which has been gone for about 5 years now I think). Lots of the older, crazy-colour Safari line dinos, and some older Carnegies, plus the Sue figures. |

The Psittacosaurus must be one of the best Carnegies ever |

And you must keep in mind that the comment comes from a person that loves theropods above any other kind of dinosaur  |

My only complaint is that it is not 1/40 scale, but it is still amazing.
