I wouldn't purchase this again even if I found it at the Dollor Store
I bought two of these Smithsonian dinosaur fossil kits—one for each of my sons. My first son’s reaction after opening it was, “Don’t buy this for your kid’s birthday, and don’t buy this for your kid’s Christmas.” My second son said he would give it half a star. I only purchased them because they were on sale for $6, but even at that price they ended up being frustrating and disappointing. The pieces didn’t fit together well, and once assembled the dinosaur wouldn’t even stand up or stay together. These are not the same quality as the fossil kits that used to be available several years ago, which were much better made. Unfortunately this version feels cheaply made and poorly designed. Based on our experience, I do not recommend purchasing this kit. See the photos I attached showing the issues.

We’re sorry to hear the kits were frustrating for your sons, P4parker. They should fit together and display properly once assembled, so it’s disappointing to hear they didn’t come together as expected. We appreciate you sharing the details of your experience. If you’d like our team to take a closer look at what happened, please reach out to custserv@nsi-int.com and reference your Target review so they know what you’re contacting them about.
