Rare WWD merch from Belgium (including hatchlings!)

Hello fellow dinosaur enthusiasts!

Some of you may know me as a mod from that other forum that deals with inaccurate action figures from a famous movie franchise regarding genetically engineered theme park monsters.  ;)
Anyways, I'm cleaning out my storage and I ran into some rare pieces of merchandise from Walking with Dinosaurs, from back in 2000. As far as I know, this stuff was exclusive to a select few European countries, specifically Belgium, possibly France and/or the Netherlands.

First up, we have some 3D holographic keychains from Kellogg's cereal. I believe the actual sculpts are reused from similar keychains from The Lost World. The back of each keychain has the name of the specific dinosaur as well as the Walking with Dinosaurs logo.

There's a baby T-Rex, an Adult T-Rex (which glows in the dark and is the "rare" figure), a Stegosaurus, 2 Coelophysis and 2 Utahraptors.



Next, a similar promotion (also from Kellogg's) but with pencil toppers.

These are new sculpts as far as I know. There's a T-Rex, a Leaellynasaura, 2 Coelophysis and 3 Ornithocheirus.




Finally, we come to the top of the bill, the main draw of the thread.

These are from Quick Restaurants and were only available for four weeks (one week each). There are four of these in the set, though I only have three. (The one missing is Liopleurodon). Quick is a Belgian-French fast food chain, and while I do not know if these were ever available in France, the versions I'm offering were 100% exclusive to Belgium (they are bilingual).
These are three dinosaur figures, a little bigger than the Jurassic Park hatchlings. They are baby T-Rex, baby Diplodocus and Ramphorynchus. They all come with a scenic base but can be removed. The base flips open and reveals a fossil replica (teeth for both T-Rex and Diplodocus and a skull for Ramphorynchus) that can also be removed from the base. Inside there is also information regarding the dinosaurs in Dutch and French.
Beneath the fossil there is a cardboard flap that also displays additonal info regarding the dinosaurs. I can provide you with additional pictures of these on request.



These are similar (albeit less detailed) to the Toyway line and would display very nicely alongside them.



Now, how can you get your hands on these rare and unique items? Well, I'm shipping from Belgium (obviously) and I accept PayPal. Shipping shouldn't exceed $15,65 (to the US). As for the price, well, that's up to you to decide. I have one person that is interested in these over at JPToys.com, but she agreed that I could put them on here and see how much people would offer for them. I have no idea of the value of WWD merch, so bidding is open! Since I don't want an open bid war on here (I know those can turn ugly) it'll be a "silent" auction -unless people want to bid openly on here, of course. Simply PM me how much you want to give for any combination of the items (as well as what you're interested in obviously) and I'll let you know if you're the highest bidder, and if not, how much the current bid is. Once I reach a price I'm comfortable with (or if it simply takes too long), I'll notify the highest bidder and we'll work out the details. :)

Regards, and good luck!

Welcome Triceratops! Nice items!

Shame you don't have the Liopleurodon, I would have definitely put in an offer for that one ;)

Hey everyone and thanks for the welcome!
The Liopleurodon is the rarest of them all, I've only ever come across one once!
Anyway, I have received several PM's, a lot of them asking for additional pictures of the Quick items, so here you go!

Here's a better shot of the three figures:



Here they are along a WWD Rex to show scale:



These are the scenic bases without the figures:




These are the insides of the bases (Please note that the pictures are undamaged, there is some weird glare (especially on the Ramph) but there is no actual damage!):



These are the fossils removed:



This is the cardboard flap under the fossils:



This is the underside:

Here you go Liopleurodon......
