Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Takama]

Got Geoworld Velociraptor today

[Seijun]

Which dinos have you got there, Seijun? (Some of them are too small to tell.)

They are
furuta choco eggs (no info online really, they are like kaiyodos but smaller and lesser quality)
kaiyodo pewters
kaiyodo dinotales series 6 and 7
kaiyodo collect club set
kaiyodo trex set
dino expo psittacosaurus
and some kaiyodo museum exclusives (nipponites, futabasaurus, and futabasaurus skeleton)

[Roselaar]

Excellent haul, Seijun!

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Ditto- nice haul.

[sauroid]

just added more dino tales s.1's (hoarder mode)

[Nebuloid]

Wow ! But how, where ? They're all so crazy expensive on Ebay...

[tyrantqueen]

The Complete Dinosaur by M.K Brett-Surman. Big, heavy and expensive





Haven't read through all of it yet (that will take some time) but I like it thus far

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Nice! Where'd you get it?

[tyrantqueen]

Nice! Where'd you get it?

Amazon.co.uk

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

*sigh*....envy......

[sauroid]

@TQ: how much? is it worth the price?

recently got his Italian paleo book. some dino representation are dated and some scientific names are erroneous but the interior art is beautiful

[tyrantqueen]

The RRP is $80. I paid roughly that amount on Amazon.co.uk (£45) but I don't know if you could get it cheaper if you shopped around.

For the price, I think it is probably worth it. If you're after detail, then you get it here in spades. I don't think it's a coffee table type book, it's sort of a book where the more time you invest in it, the more stuff you're rewarded with.

It can be a little technical, (especially so in the chapters about osteology and anatomy) but in comparison to, say, Dinosauria by David Weishampel, (which is extremely dry and academic) it's not that hard for a non professional to follow.

Could you post some photos of the artwork from the Italian book?

[FUTABA]

Hi.
I won these on ebay auctions:

All of these have paint wear, so a repaint (or just touchups) is required.
But at last i have my shonisaurus 

I'm jealous of your Shonisaurus, well done.

[FUTABA]

Got Geoworld Velociraptor today

He's a charmer.

[Nebuloid]

My first Shapeways experience just arrived, in the form of this Dicraeosaurus by RareBreed in 1:36 scale :




According to its shapeways page it should be 25,5cm long, but it's closer to 35 !



I shall be painting it, see how it turns out...

[FUTABA]

Stunning looking model, nice to see Dicraeosaurus represented too.

[tyrantqueen]

RareBreed's style isn't really my thing, but that Dicraeosaurus model looks better in person than it does on the site I do like his Sarchosuchus, Tupuxuara and Isisaurus models, though.

[FUTABA]

I got these guys a few weeks ago.

CollectA Utahraptor, little pocket sized gem.


Toyway WWD Torosaurus (finally!)


CollectA Diplodocus, really refreshing pose for me and I am in love with the flicky bendy tail. One of my favourite Diplo models I think.


CollectA deluxe Deinocheirus, gorgeous piece of gorgeousity.

[Nebuloid]

RareBreed's style isn't really my thing, but that Dicraeosaurus model looks better in person than it does on the site I do like his Sarchosuchus, Tupuxuara and Isisaurus models, though.

I agree, it looks MUCH better in person, his models on the site look way more "spiky" . I plan on getting his Isisaurus deluxe next !

By the way, if you are in the US, the RRP is only $40 on amazon.com.
