Does anyone know how long the series is going to run? I think it is one I would like to get into. Very neat coins.

Its my understanding, that that's it. A four year run. I, like you, really admire them and I was fortunate enough to collect them each year as they were released.
However, I was talking to a member of the RCM's masters club, and he was trying to convice me that the RCM was going to re-release them this year in a complete 4 coin set.
I have to take what he says with a grain of salt however, not only because I have received some fuzzy information from him in the past, but most importantly why the mint would publish mintage numbers each year for each coin, and then go ahead and pull a stunt like that is beyond me. I'm not even sure if master club members are privy to information like that anyway.
You should be able to find them on-line or where-ever, but be prepaired to pay a small premium
for the 1st one. This same dealer offered me $129 bucks for mine, but I'm not selling.

There is nothing in the material sent to MC members related to this series. In fact there is nothing going on besides not paying for shipping

I like the series but was really upset when I read that the Mint was extending the series one more year (originally a 3-year series) by "public demand" ... what public demand? the Mint still have ALL them for sale!

Im thinking that t y's comment of "the Mint still have ALL them for sale" should have read "the Mint still HAD ALL of them for sale AT THE TIME!

I was just at my local post-office yesterday and saw they still have a triceratops, so maybe try Canada Post. If I had the fifty posts, I would offer to pick it up for anyone who wanted it.

They still have these for sale at the Canada post office? How does one in the states pick one up if they had it?

Thank you Mike ! I just read this post a couple of days ago, and beat it to the Post Office. Although it was not in the case, I asked for it and it was in the drawer! Sweet $39.99 Canadian. I now have all 4.

Erwin did you find one? I can research this further for you, and ask Canada Post how it can be done, if you like.
