The dino toy is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
It is a plastic children's toy that resembles Dinky the T-Rex in miniature form. It has no weight, nor monetary value when attempting to sell it to a trader (appears as "--" in both categories). Its name is also different from the actual Dinky the T-Rex souvenir but looks identical.
Locations
- Powder Ganger camp south - One is sitting on a metal box next to a mattress.
- Mick & Ralph's shop in Freeside - Two can be stolen from Ralph's display shelf by the front entrance.
- Miguel's Pawn Shop in Westside - Three are on the display shelf to the right of the entrance. They can be bought or stolen from the shop.
- Casa Madrid Apartments in Westside - One is located on a bed in one of the first floor rooms.
- Sloan - One in the worker barracks, on a shelf next to the radio. (It can sometimes be glitched into two.)
- Jacobstown - One can be located in the bungalow with an Average lock. It's on the mantlepiece.
- Vault 3 - Three can be found in the living quarters section; two on a desk and on a carpet in the large bedroom opposite the overseer's office, and one on the desk in Daniel's room at the dead end on the southern side of the living quarters.
- Camp Searchlight - There are five on shelves inside the Searchlight Elementary School, one is on a shelf inside a home to the west of the school (the house where Private Edwards is located). All of the items in the house are "owned" by Edwards, so the toy must be stolen.
- Bloodborne cave - One can be found next to a small skeleton by the campfire.
- Camp Forlorn Hope - In the storage tent. It can be stolen if the player character obtains the storage key from Quartermaster Mayes or loots it from his dead body. Note: Taking the dino toy in the storage tent is considered stealing and results in loss of Karma, but stealing the toy does not result in any reputation loss.
- Caesar's Legion safehouse - One can be found in the opened part of the cabinet at the south end of the wall.
- McBride house in Novac - One can be stolen from the tub in the bathroom.
- Nellis schoolhouse - Two can be stolen from inside the teacher's desk.
- X-8 research center in the Big MT - Six are behind a force field in the institutional facility (the school) hall, which can be gathered during the advanced institutional test.
Notes
- With a Charisma of 7, a dino toy can be given for Boomer fame to a Mini Boomer who introduces himself as being a dinosaur, and the Mini Boomer boy asking for toys.
- The dino toy will emit a distorted roar anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes apart, it can easily go unnoticed but can be best heard with the radio off and with a relatively low music volume.
A terminal entry at the Zion General Store suggests, that these were once original Dinky the T-Rex toys, which only got their trademark filed off.[1] However, this doesn't explain how they spread all over the Mojave Wasteland.
