Nice to know that someone else collects with his daughter!

For a while, I thought she has lost interest in them, boy, I was wrong. Now she's also playing dinosaur app games and has continued to love dinosaurs.

Your evolution as a collector is great to watch! At first you started with just Schleichs, then you networked and established yourself here, and now you have a cool collection! A success story!

Missed this keen observation of yours, Libraraptor.  Thanks for all the kind words!

I must say, it is on the path of being a success story, after guesting on TV last year in correlation with the Jurassic World movie.  For me the ultimate satisfaction and glory of a toy collector is for him to share his collections with everyone through social media, TV, radio, toy conventions (displays), exhibits etc.

Yes, that´s true. When I saw that my collection video on youtube hit the 1000 - mark, it blew me away.Seeing where it stands now makes me faint

As to my keen words - well, isn´t dinosaur collecting something great, connecting people to each other from all over the world, no matter what they believe in or how much money they earn? Isn´t it great I can talk to someone from the Phillipines, or the Netherlands or from all over the world.
This makes me wonder - do we have any African members here?

I used to trade with fellow Marvel Battle Dice collectors in 2007 from Romania, US and other European countries, so I know the feeling is AWESOME! But sad to say, the MBD forum is now non-existent...

I miss my friends there. But once in a while, I get trading inquiries from foreign collectors. Can't trade with them anymore, since I only lack 2 rare figs from the line, which they don't have.

the probabilty that I viewed your collection on You Tube is high. What's your handle on You Tube, Libraraptor? :-)

What do you mean by "handle"?
Simply put in "Libraraptors collection" and you´ll immediataly can see the video.
Or did you mean something else that´s lost in translation?

It's a CB-radio reference, sort of like User name.

[docronnie]

Yup, it's user name. Thanks Sbell! Sorry Libraraptor for the confusion. 

Will check it out on You Tube.
