Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

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, 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?

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

No, I'm not, I'm in the UK

@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

I have it! It's from the 1993-94 if I remember correctly. The drawings are by Stefano Maugeri and I really loved them!

Was the book ever translated into English? I don't mind buying the Italian version if it is really good, but just wondering if there is an English one too, so I could read the text.

Just did a google search, some of the artwork is actually stunning. Reminds me a bit of John Gurche's work.





Thanks guys for bringing this one to my attention

My mum and dad brought this back for me after their holiday yesterday. It's soap with a little blue Parasaurolophus in it!

[sauroid]

just got a "vintage" Carnegie Elasmosaurus


and some more sample pages from Dinosauri (pardon the quality)

[postsaurischian]

  He, he ... I like the T. rex / 'Anatosaurus' picture with the Flamingos.
Isn't your Carnegie 'Plesiosaurus' an Elasmosaurus?

I ordered the Pachys through amazon.de, but the package came from England .

[FUTABA]

Sweet! I'll keep a look out then. Thanks.

No, I know. It was just a btw for those who are in the US.

Those look like they might work as juveniles for the Papo Pachyrhino. I also just noticed, that Juniper has a rather Cera-esque color.

Anyways, need to do this more often, as my last post here was last year. Will post all the stuff I got since the beginning of the year in the next few days, but not everything in one post, that would be way too many pics at once.

Got those some months ago.  Already had the German Version of two books and a copy of the Dinosur Heresies, but got the whole set for 27€ including shipping, so it was a good deal anyways. And one of them is a different kind of Carnegie Collectible. 







From two different hauls:


Also to bring in some toys: Found some still bagged MIMP Dinosaurs for cheap and brought them out of curiosity since I never had them when I was a kid.

They are not bagged anymore. Bigger than I thought.  ( Hans for size comparism )

I think that the Ceratosaurus makes a nice Retro-Dinosaur.

[Nebuloid]

Wow you bought a whole collection of books there !

[sauroid]

cool books CityRaptor

i got these a few months back and forgot all about them

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Just got a glass corner shelf to display some models. Apart from that, I also just got the Safari Ltd. Postosuchus and Gryposaurus (yes, I know, I waited a long time). Sorry, picture quality probably isn't that good. 

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Dratted pics didn't work.  Let's try this:




I'll hope for the best. 

EDIT: It finally worked. Sorry, this is the first time I've posted pictures. 

[Jetoar]

Cool display and wonderful acquistions in general friends  .

[joossa]

Oh, I like those, sauroid!!

Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus, that display is really nice. What is the theropod between the Papo Allo and Spino? I've seen it before, but I forgot...
