The Dino Island sets arrived in our stores, so I had a chance to look at the
boxes. "The Dino Research Compound" has the stegosaurus displayed under the
lid, and I can say, it looks *way* better than on the pictures.
Actually, the Stego doesn't have orange (like arctic orange) legs, but they are
rather light brown! Same with the Pteranodons.
So, for your further discussion, you would have to talk about
butter-scotch-candy-coloured (Yep, thats the exact color) stegosaurus' feet.
