Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

I just got this neat Sega Dinosaur King T-Rex via eBay. I believe that it has picked up the scent of the poor Triceratops!

[tyrantqueen]

^ Nice Rex, looks better than the stock photo

Post was late today, but I did get one new thing


New recoloured Schleich Apato, with the CollectA Stego for scale XD

Got two packages in today. The first one, the result of a trade, contained:

-Wild Safari Leptoceratops
-Bullyland Pteranodon Sternbergi (squatting)
-Colorata Deinonychus

-Kinto Favorite Allosaurus

The second one, with Ebay BIN catches, featured:

-Collecta Australovenator
-Collecta Irritator
-Collecta Ampelosaurus
-Collecta Alamosaurus
-Collecta Lourinhanosaurus
-Wild Safari Acrocanthosaurus
-Wild Safari Dracorex
-Wild Safari Vagaceratops
-Wild Safari Ceratosaurus
-Wild Safari Prehistoric Mammal Skull Toob

So that's 35 figures/sets in less than 10 days. I'm on a roll!

[CityRaptor]

Wow! My Dad would ask you if you did not have already enough Dinosaurs...

Got three lovely Bullylands this morning, and a retro book 



The Iguanodon and Plateosaurus may be outdated but I love 'em XDD Funnily enough, the Bullyland Iguanodon is in the almost exact same pose as the Carnegie one :O

Ah, got the Pteranodon and Plateosaurus aswell some months ago. Funny thing about the Plateosaurus is that it is based on a model seen in the Museum in Stuttgart. Same for most others of Bullyland's Triassic Creatures.

The Iguanodon is in a rather classic pose. A lot older Iguanodons look like that. Nothing special.

The more I see that Triceratops, the more I want it. Probably does not help that I saw a larger model of a dead Trike in Münchehagen aswell...Alos want the family groups.
Now if only the German Online stores would get them in stock...

Here's some stuff I got a while ago:


Also my sister was kind enough to get me this for Easter:


Yes, I know Easter was a month ago but my computer went wonky and I wasn't able to upload pictures until now.  Here's what was inside:

It was delicious!

What a great way to start a weekend! FOUR of Malcolm's FaunaCasts!

Moschops, Mastodon, Moropus and Megachoerus!  Well, Daeodon, but I had an alliteration thing going there...

[Tyrannosaurid lover]

Made these pics of my Queen's Day finds for the JPtoys boards, but why not post it here too.  :

Dinosaurs, JP and otherwise:



The electronic dinosaurs were all still in perfect working order, much to my surprise.

I received this lovely guy. It's in the process of being glued so I haven't filled in the seams yet







Thank you Mr Krentz! 

[Metallisuchus]

What will you use to fill in the seams? Really nice model, by the way. I haven't gotten to that point yet - assembly & painting.

[SBell]

And now I have my photo (again, Mastodon, Daeodon, Moropus, Moschops).  All awesome:

All figures of his are 1/40 (unless stated otherwise), so yes.  Makes Moschops look huge, huh? Or Mastodons look small.

I've never been a completist but just recently I finally obtained the Battat Dilophosaurus to complete my Battat set. I went years without that one and once I got it I realize why. In my opinion it is the worst of the Battats. Something about it just looks butt-ugly to me.

I'm sorry - i will take it off your hands for a small fee as a service if you like.

Which version did you get? Ver 3 isn't too bad.

Epoxy putty (milliput) and a little water Do you have this guy too?

No, nothing I collect requires any work, haha. I'm intimidated by that stuff as I've never done it. I'm afraid I'd mess up a nice, expensive piece. What I meant though, was what do you use to apply the epoxy? A toothpick and your fingers?

Then again, I picked up stained glass very easily. I'm sure if somebody could show me in person how to work with these types of pieces (using epoxy, painting them, etc.), I could get the hang of it.

Papo Smilodon.

Fairly decent for a Papo sculpt
