What were your firsts?

[jhudstone]

I'm an oldy - mine were Marx Dinosaurs from Woolworths, and this baby:

[Gwangi]

As a kid, a couple of Chinasaurs. One a weird fin-backed warty newt-like theropod and the other was a stegosaur-type thing, I think. Long lost though!

As an adult...Papo Pachycephalosaurus. Bought for me as a gift and sparked off my interest in dino toy...uh...models all over again...

Could your theropod possibly be the green and purple one in the back?

[Horridus]

Could your theropod possibly be the green and purple one in the back?

It was very much like that one! Although it had a short newt-like fin running all the way down the back. And the colours were more sober...

[Libraraptor]

Some AAA- style Parasaurolophus and Invicta Diplodocus were my first ever Dinotoys!

The one in the picture has a fin too. Here is a better picture of it.

[Horridus]

That's it! That's the one! But like I said, the colours on mine were a bit more sober. Just grey and green I think. No hot pink...

You want it?

Nah, you can hang on to that one. But thanks anyway.

if you say so, I honestly don't want it though. I got it in a lot and it now sits in a box in my closet.

Here are my first dinosaurs, that I got when I was 9.

[Himmapaan]

That is a real treasure trove to have been given! How wonderful that you've been able to keep them since.

I had the same set when I was little, they were my first dinosaurs! I've been trying to find where I stashed them all those years ago, but to no avail thus far. They're not rare or anything, are they?

Stoneage, thanks for posting the photo of the Marx Prehistoric Times Play Set.  Your set is similar to the one I had, but my land form was a single piece and there were only 6 cavemen.  Although I did not like Dimetrodon, Sphenacodon, or Cynognathus back then, now I do appreciate them.  To correct myself, they are synapsids rather than mammals. You are lucky to have kept it all these years.

No these are the original Marx figures, Pre-MPC which came latter and were for the most part Marx knockoffs.

Well I also have this set.  Is this the one you had?

Yes, that takes me back.  You are a lucky guy!
