Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

If you use four pins each, one at each corner,  I bet you could display the Favorites horizontally.

Someone went to all the trouble creating the necessary holes in the card to hang them with, so who am I to ignore all that hard work?

lol true!  Though for my personal taste most would look better horizontal..no extra hole needed really if you use large pins..I've done it with a few pieces here.

Here's todays arrival for me, Battat Ceratosaurus V1.! Finally here! Thanks to Rez. The differences between V1 and V2 Ceratosaurus are quite significant, V1 has way more evident details!

Also...
Don't you hate when this happens? I was so happy that I got the first issue of my PT subscription and the cover is damaged... Oh god why?? I'm kinda OCD about my collection stuff, if I bought it new, it's supposed to be new!!! I'll have to get another copy to replace it

[Invicta Hunter]

To me the rex on that PT cover looks like the Papo running rex, does anyone else think so?

[CityRaptor]

Kinda hard to tell if we only see it like that.

But that Cover took some serious damage. While some little kinks might be expected when shipping ( nothing serious ), this is clearly not normal. 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I had similar rough handling of this issue as well. Contact Mike and he'll probably replace for you for free.

Mine was pretty beaten as well. The replacement has just arrived today! Apparently it was a printer issue.

Yeah, I thought so too when I first saw the cover. I took my model and compared to it and seems to me it really was the inspiration for the artist.

By the way, if anyone is wondering, I told Mike about the cover damage and he's gonna replace it for me.   Deserves the  *orthocone* emoticon...

Awesome. Mike is a great guy , glad he's taking care of you.

My less that stellar Queen's Day haul:

The last two years yielded much more impressive results on the dinosaur front. This year I had trouble finding good dinosaurs, despite raiding no less than four different cities! Better get back to Amsterdam next year, that's where all the fun is it seems. :-/
BTW, some of these dinosaur figures I cannot identify. If you can, please let me know in the Identification Thread.

That's still 17x what I've managed to find in secondhand shops this year... Well done finding that Dinoking spinnable T.rex, it's really nice once you get it off the base.

I was surprised to see this fun little Sega item (didn't know it even existed!), would you happen to be able to tell me more about it? Rarity, worldwide availability, what the heck its back story is, etc.? Thanks in advance!

[Sumo]

There's not a lot I know, but: The spinnable ones, which I'm sure have another name, were sold in sets of two.  The Tyrannosaurus I got was paired with a Triceratops, while the other set I know of has Lambeosaurus and... something ankylosaurid, if memory serves. 
As for rarity and availability I'm afraid I have no idea, nor do I know what the deal is with the spinning. Presumably it has some sort of in-game significance.
The regular models were readily available through TRU (and a chain called BR) in Norway and Sweden until late 2011, but I haven't been able to find any since. Such a shame, the line had some real beauties.

I have a whole set of knock-off figures from a dollar store featuring those! There's Ankylosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Amargasaurus, Torosaurus, Certaosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. As with most DK stuff it did not seem to range out very far, and these ones less than others.
