This story (Fox "news" link with article title "NJ theme park selling life-sized dinosaur models on Facebook Marketplace") is dated 1 Oct 2025. This one (Fox again) from 12 Dec 2025 states that they've been sold but had some issues with cashing the buyer's check so maybe they'll go up for sale again.

We had a Sinclair gas station at a nearby town that had one of their apatosaurii. The gas station changed hands a few times but they decided to leave the dino, probs because it was an ecological disaster idk gas stations are weird. After about 10 years a private party bought the dino statue and i'm sure it is on some billionaire's lawn now.

But to be fair, there is a portion of people that have more control, basically also about the houses of their neigbours.

A lot of towns and cities around the world have similar requirements and will start fining you if you let your property. And the majority of HOAs aren't overbearing, just a way to share costs for common infrastructure and make sure houses aren't just abandoned or allowed to fall apart by collecting fines.

But petty power attracts petty tyrants and it's easier to make it onto an HOA board than a town council. So sometimes your worst neighbor has the ability to hand out fines and wields that power with spite and glee.

Mine has that rule but I assumed it applied to the HOA board.

huh, i know a place that does dinosaurs, but they're a bit more steampunky. and cheaper than these. same size tho

Crazy 'cos the steg has the thagomiser!

It's older. More outdated.
