Uk - fascination with the Land of the Rising Sun

Ah, nice.  Although with the T.rex you should check the legs and stand on a regular basis. I had one that had standing issues which got worse over time. It fell off the shelf, resulting in a foot breaking off. Yours would probably take some of the other figures with it if that happens.

Something completely different for my birthday, a present from my daughter. What's not to like, dinosaurs and Lego for adults.

Sadly not able to start yes as Romeo is just too keen to help. He's tried to open the box to get started himself 🤣

Probably so that he can sit in the box. ;D
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

You should have put the T-rex and Trike facing each other.
This trike has something like 6 different color version - I still am undecided what version is the best.

That's how I had mine, too. Guess one can say my Trike won.

For me it is this one ( not my picture, it's from a thread on the old DTF )

Although I may be biased since that is the only one I own. The Dinosaur King one also looks rather nice.

Really enjoyed building these. The Rex was particularly rewarding. Romeo was particularly helpful in trying to steal the pieces.

Really good possibility and an interesting display set. Highly recommend.

I will not post pictures in your thread - but this kind of remind me Tomy Zoids - I bought some to my Nephew.

Purchases are few and far between. Nice set of vintage style  Russell Batten figures




















CityRaptor

Oh, nice! Can't get much more vintage style than this.

Very nice indeed, especially the resting Iguanodon! 

Shonisaurus

They are very nice vintage dinosaur figures. Thanks for sharing.

Some 3d printed figures. Seriously impressed.










Flaffy

Ooooh! Who was the sculptor and painter? Those chalicotheres are very very tempting! (and surprised as to how there's still no good Chalicotherium models)

Bokisaurus

Wow, lots to catch up on!🤣 those vintage looking models are awesome!
And those 3D prints look amazing as well, what scale are they? I myself just got more 3D printed mammals that I just finished.


Blackdanter

Lovely collection. Those vintage style figures are wonderful. I still have my large HG Sega 'UFO Catcher' dinosaurs. Looks like you have the second paint version Rex and first paint version Trike. ;O)

UK

Anyone else come across the three Noble collection figures? I grabbed the Dilophosaurus as prices are rising.









UK

Nothing new, just a bit of a change around.

Love your Timpo collection. I never did find a Stegosaurus. I see you managed to find those Japan Expo pre dino resins in the end!

Recent adventure into ebay land and grabbed this little beauty.

Amazingly my only Invicta figure now.






Shonisaurus

How lucky that you acquired that baryonyx from Invicta it is extremely rare on eBay for sale. That vintage figure is one of the most appreciated of that company by me along with its lambeosaurus.
