(More customer reviews)I really wish I could use the words I want to say about this miserable piece of junk, but my Mama taught me not to curse. It has taken two adults who are very handy and have advanced college engineering degrees almost 3 hours to put this thing together after an avid 12 year old paleontologist was reduced to tears over it. It took five people looking all over the pieces with magnifying glasses 20 minutes at least to find the "numbers" and they are only legible on maybe a third of the pieces. The photo that shows where the "numbered" parts go is not accurate because the base is shown in the opposite direction from the only possible way it can fit and the legs are positioned differently. Even when you figure out the order of the parts, many still do not all fit correctly together because of they are not aligned properly when they were made. We finally had to glue the thing together to get it to stay in one piece because the weight of it and even a light breeze makes it come apart. Definitely not something a child or even one adult person could put together by themselves because you need several hands and lots of hand strength to keep what you have assembled together as you add more parts. The "museum" quality part is a complete joke. It's only saving grace is that it looks cool from a distance if you don't look too closely at where the parts don't fit well.
Obviously based on it's fragility this item can only be a "sit around and look at it" piece not meant to be disassembled and reassembled frequently so I don't understand why they made so many separate pieces that won't stay together instead of making it as several large pre-assembled pieces instead. A real shame and a Christmas downer.

This T-Rex skeleton is scientifically accurate since it was designed by Dr. Stefano Piccini with his staff at Geoworld.
