I'm about to put up a new shelf, anyway, and need at least one big carnivore for its JP section. Why not a colorful standout like this one?
Why not, indeed? I know that I'll be scoping my Wal-Mart more closely now - I want that Cryolophosaurus! Picked up the stashed Carno at Target. Really dig it, and so does the wife...

Just wanted to come back here and stress how NICE Mattel's Primal Attack Carnotaurus is, as I have one in-hand and can speak with firsthand knowledge. For the FULL details, I highly recommend Andy's Dinosaur Reviews, as he covers it thoroughly. The eyes, the teeth, the mouth, frequent paint trouble spots in past releases, are no trouble here, and look great. The action features are Hella-cool, and powered by button cell batteries, which means that when they drain and die, they won't leak, like most other batteries do. Totally new sculpt, and it rocks. Well worth the $25 price tag, and there will probably be sales down the road. If you haven't seen one in-hand, you're missing out...

And this morning I found the Sarcosuchus at Target! Box in excellent shape, no probs with the Sarco's paint applications. $19.99 + tax, a very fair price for such a beastie. No Tarbosaurus present. Someone must've bought it, but didn't want the Sarco. Worked well for me - I wanted the Sarco, but not the Tarbo...
