Yeah, I'm still looking too. I've got three Stegos and the one Cerato now.
I'll keep looking though.

- Start date
And, in a continuing lucky streak, there it was.
Stego.
I also got one of the new Ceratosaurs, since they are so cheap and I was curious to compare it to the other.

Many thanks to those who started this thread, and got me looking.

I now have TWO Ceratos (one right, one wrong), and another on the way. The "right" one still needs to be airbrushed to match the one in the show, though.
My collection:
Stegosaurus, Book's "strawberry box", Ceratosaurus (correct version)
Screen-used Serenity bill, authentic Chinese dollar coins, philippes Mal pistol
I've gotta Jayne pistol that I'm still working on, and a few more things to add.

one of my friends found me a ceratosaurus. i haven't seen it yet, so i'm holding back my enthusiasm, but here's hoping.

So after finding a "correct" Cerato (thanks to a board member :cheers ) and finding a v.2 Cerato (brightly painted, straight left leg) at a local Walgreens, the seller from the eBay auction contacts us and offers to "find" another Cerato to send us to complete the sale. Since we already have 2 (1 correct one and 1 worng one), we agree. What can it hurt, right?
The dino arrived on Saturday and get this: It's the v.2 Cerato with the straight leg, BUT the leg isn't as straight as the one I bought at Walgreens and LOOKS like someone tried to heat and REBEND the leg... WTF?.? Is there THAT big of a secondary Ceratosaurus market? :lol I'm getting dinos from someone who bought them from someone else (RPF'er?) who bought it originally and tried to "fix it", but didn't like the result and eBayed it? The one I got at Walgreens has a "straight" left leg and can stand on its own. The one that just arrived has a "straight" left leg, but its bent to the inside, making it impossible for the dino to stand on its own.
Wow. Watch out, guys. :unsure

After searching a bit, my wife found one on eBay. After studying screencaps, we're convinced that it's correct, both in branding and in size. There are a lot of boxes out there that this company made that are too small or too large.
You should look for the "20 Elegantes" (quantity and size of the cigars originally sold in it) box. Might want to search for "Tony Borhani" and "Bahia" as well... The artificial strawberries are available at local craft shops (got mine at Hobby Lobby for $4.99/bag).
Good luck.

Yeah, not to get off topic here, but I saw a lot of 5 of those boxes on ebay a month, or two, ago. Only one of them was 100% match, the others were almost exactly the same, but they just had a slightly different color of wood. they sold for like $26. I passed on them, because I only need one, but now I'm kicking myself.

My wife bought ours from a lady who sells them to people who make PURSES out of them. Apparently "cigar box purses" are trendy somewhere... :unsure
I think ours was $9 + shipping, for what it's worth.

Re: Firefly - Wash's Dinosaurs?
Has anyone identified the brontosaurus-looking dino in the pic above? (right below Wash's arm patch)
Is the one in front of Mal's right arm the Ceratosaurus?
And what is the dino in front of Mal's left hand? (not the Anklyosaurus, the other one that's standing up)
