Hey everyone.  I've been visiting this site for a while as a non member and finally decided to go ahead and register. 
I've been interested in dinosaurs my entire life but have only recently gotten back into collecting them.  Some of my very first memories were of playing with plastic dinosaurs, mostly the brightly colored florescent TimMee and Ajax ones.  When Jurassic Park came out in 93 I got back into dinosaurs, but also began collecting all different types of toys as an adult.  My main interest for the last 15-20 years has been Star Wars collecting, but about 3 years ago I began to focus on Jurassic Park and was obsessed with completing my collection of the Kenner and Hasbro toys.  After a few VERY expensive years I'm finally done with that rat race but it left me with a renewed interest in dinosaurs and prehistoric life.  In the last year or so I've been trying to basically add as much "variety" to my dinosaur collection as possible.  So far I've got at least a few(or in some cases more than a few) of: Kaiyodo, Invicta, Toyway, Toysmith, Resaurus, Kinto Favorite, Mattel (Xtractaurs, Disney Dinosaur), Galoob, Chap Mei, Kenner and Hasbro JP, Battat, Bullyland, Safari, Schleich, Collecta, Papo, Dinosaur King(playmates and sega), Marx, TimMee, Ajax, AAA, Discovery Kids "scanopedia" figures, Tyco, Yowies, a wide variety of small Japanese figures, Chinasaurs and others, etc. And probably a lot of other stuff I'm forgetting.  Without this website I'd probably have never even known about most of this stuff.  This is definitely an addictive hobby! :P

Anyway....I look forward to spending more time on here as a legitimate forum member now and getting to know some of you.  It's a fantastic website!   ;D
