Buy a full-size T. Rex replica

A mere $100,000 gets you a STAN museum-grade T-Rex replica, a whopping 40' long and 12' high. They'll pose him for you, too.

Each STAN T. rex skeleton is constructed according to your creative needs, allowing you to fashion a more dynamic exhibit. Whether you want your skeleton walking, stalking, attacking, running, jumping or looking your visitors right in the eye, we welcome your input, so long as the pose requested is natural and anatomically possible. Constructed modularly with no section more than 6 feet long, this incredible specimen can be assembled by an experienced crew of six in just under an hour!

For a hundred grand I want all the servos installed and a radio control unit. I mean, I *could* do it myself but planning for world domination is time consuming enough.

I'd buy one and just put it on my front lawn. I'd set it up to roar every once in a while to mess with people.

Can we put frickin' laser beams on it's head....oh wait, that's sharks. Sorry, ignore that.

I'll take two.

I'll pose them like they're fighting.

Then I'll make them look like they're playing Twister.

Too costly for our municipality. We'll wait to catch a live one.

Wow! Based on the photo, is it true that T-Rex had no shoulder blades? Weak little arms indeed.

If it were also a bookcase, how much would Cory want one?

Google has one in its courtyard.

I'm gonna buy a bunch of 'em and re-enact my favourite dinosaur comics.

Either I'm the only person who read the price tag ($100K) or BB is rolling with a richer crowd than I thought.

Scale it down to 6ft, sell it for $500. Who wants one?

[#20 posted by Takuan , July 22, 2008 5:47 PM]

with sharp metal teeth?

I used to have one made of styrofoam, maybe 7' long. A Styrosaurus, I guess. Had to be assembled, about eight pieces. Had it in the yard up at Fairfax, CA. A dog tore it all to hell. A neighbor buried two pieces near his garden, to astound future paleontpogists, he said.

Let me know when they have the posable velociraptor.
