What's the rarest dinosaur in your collection?

I don't own much rare dinosaurs...
Probably the PNSO Doyle Triceratops with white and blue exclusive paint job.
They made only 100 of them if I remember correctly, and Lana was selling only 10 of them or something like that, managed to grab one.

Other than that, I do own the 3 JP1 Iron Studio Velociraptors, that have become rare now.
But I think I will only keep the standing one and sell the other two.

I have some one-of-a-kind figures. Apart from those, I have some really rare vintage figures like the Lanier Climatius and Chialu Brachauchenius. I recently got a certain WWD figure, which is definitely more common but probably more coveted.

I have the X-Plus Albertosaurus and Sideshow Apatosaurus and Allosaurus/Camarasuarus.   None are extremely rare but all are hard-ish to find and expensive when you do.

I also have the Kaiyodo 1/20 Elasmosaurus which seems to be very hard to find; even information on it, which is surprising to me.

I had the Horizion 1/19 JP Brachiosaurus vinyl kit but sold it for a decent amount, after I got the Mattel Brachiosaurus because I knew i'd never get around to building a vinyl kit.

These Carnegie fellows.

Nothing *too* special but I did manage to lay hands on the Safari Nasutoceratops and Einiosaurus after their discontinuation, and Einiosaurus took some doing to get ahold of.

These Carnegie fellows.

I had no idea these were considered rare.
But still happy to have these in my collection, as well as Carnegie's other Sauropods. Just need to get the blue/striped Brachiosaurus. I've already have the green version, but the blue one looks better.

easily the fauna casts parasaurolophus! i got it many years ago and i'm fairly sure it was the last fauna casts model ever sold, unless there's been more since then i'm not aware of. i have no idea how many exist, but it's so gorgeous and to this day my single favorite figure.

other rare figures i have are the bullyland protochirotherium, procynosuchus, and arizonasaurus; the favorite concavenator, pelecanimimus, and neovenator; the schleich megatherium and desmatosuchus; the safari scutosaurus and hypacrosaurus (plus the baby); and the play visions amphibians. none on the same level as the parasaurolophus but still a fair few that aren't exactly common.

also a bunch of carnegies but idk if they're "rare" so much as inordinately expensive lol

I could have said "my Battat Diplodocus" or "My JP and TLW Carnotaurs", or my many unique dinosaurs like my Latam exclusive Planeta DeAgostini dinos, or who knows, but I bring this one up because only I have this. There was a contest in 2021 I believe where David Silva would pull a name out of a hat, and mine came up first. Everyone else got a different dinosaur. If there are any other protos they are in David's house/office. I'm the only one in this forum that owns this, too, so it's definitely the rarest certifiable dinosaur in my collection, It's also priceless.

For me it would be the Carnegie 2012 Brachiosaurus and Miragaia. Although when I bought either of them they were still normally priced.

Other than that I would guess my 1:35th Alamosaurus kit and the Mega sauropods from LanaTime (Argentinosaurus, Maraapunisaurus and Barosaurus). Although these aren't exactly rare, just expensive and probably to large for most people to want them / display them while you can get multiple smaller figures for the same price.

Other than that I don't think I really have any rare figures.

I have a few of the rarer carnegies, been trying to get a hold of the entire collection (besides repaints and retools) and thats been quite the undertaking. A few of the rarer ones I've gotten while they were in production like the feathered Velociraptor and Concavenator, but most of them I've hunted down after their discontinuation. I think I'm almost halfway done with the line, managed to find the Miragaia on eBay for only 20 bucks total a year ago. I was so convinced it had to be a bootleg that when it finally came in I must've spent an hour trying to make sure it was the real deal. I'm dreading trying to get my hands on the 2012 Brachiosaurus tho.
I managed to track down a few original battats recently too, a number of them have been falling in price so I snag the Edmontonia, Styracosaurus, and Carnotaurus.
I do have a lot of safari figures that are pretty sought after like the Scutosaurus, Inostrancevia, Einiosaurus, etc. tho the vast majority I got while they were in production. Its wild I remember seeing the AMNH selling the Scutosaurus in massive numbers for like 8 bucks each well after it was discontinued, hard to believe its gotten so expensive. They also had the 2012 Brachiosaurus for a bit and I'm still kicking myself for not getting it.
Tho I think the rarest things I own are probably the Sega great dinosaur Triceratops and the Bullyland Procynosuchus. The Procynosuchus was my white whale for the longest time I still can't believe I own it.

I have one of the first-version Kaiyodo Dinoland 1/20 Bellowing T.rex pre-builds. Sculpted by Shinobu Matsumura it has a very Gregory S. Paul-esque aesthetic.
