Where to buy Dinosour Toys for Christmas

My 2 and a half year old seems to have acquired a liking for dinosaurs (and a nice roar!) He has a soft dinosaur (Rex from Toy Story) and also a rubber crocodile from Peter Pan! Was thinking of expanding his admittedly not huge collection at christmas.
Have had a look on the ELC site and am a bit taken aback at the cost of their plastic models £6 each. Wondered if anyone had come across more reasonably priced but good quality dinosaur models or toys in a dinosaur theme suitable for his age. A set of good sized models would be a great start.
Am in the NE of Scotland so may not have access to some high street shops but shop a lot online. Have looked at Woolworths and Argos and not found anything.
Many thanks.
Just edited as I looked back at the ELC site and most larger models are £6, small are £3 so not as awful as I first thought. Don't know what I was looking at at first!

I just looked at the Natural History Museum site, google it (I'm not good at links) they have some there, but out of stock :rolleyes: Maybe they might have some in soon
or you could call to see 0 -
Oh that looks good. Wouldn't have thought to look here. Thank you. Models are £6 each so more or less same price. The soft toys look really lovely, and more realistic than most so am really tempted by these.0

Ooh the Natural hisotry site is great, I love the soft diplodocus. If I buy it for my nephew I wonder if it'll get passed on or whether he'll take up residence with me? Quite faniced a pair of dino wellies but not in my size.0
