Couldn't bring myself to ruin it for him by telling him I've been a dinosaur fanatic since I was 3, actually reading kindergarten level dinosaur books at the age of 3. Was fun. Afterwards, I thought, "if it happened in an online forum instead of a Walmart toy aisle, we'd be in a three day long flame war."

Really warmed my heart to see dinosaur toys bringing out a kid's confidence and promote imagination and excitement. THAT'S what toys are for!

Nice to hear that some kids are still jazzed about dinosaurs and not whatever BS mobile game is trying to sucker them for money.

My favorite was always a toss up between the T-Rex, Raptor, and Dilophosaurus (that scene still in the first JP still freaks me out)
