Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Roselaar]

Nice. How much was the raptor?

12.50 pounds. Which is about 15.70 euros or 21.50 dollars. Certainly not bad considering how sought after its little friend/snack usually is.

So $21.50 us money right? And ebay?

Oh that Kaiyodo Seismosaurus is very nice figure. I got the dark grey one.

It's Kabaya, not Kaiyodo.

[sauroid]

very cool Roselaar. (i guess i would have to delete the WWD babies from my want list)

Thanks for the correction. I wanted to say Kabaya, but came out Kaiyodo. Better than Kinto!

Speaking of which, I'm looking for the Kinto Spinosaurus...again...I never seem to go ahead with it. Where is the cheapest I can find it at?

Yeah, they're not much to look at. I only got them with the Raptor because I was outbid on the seller's other WWD figures and they didn't cost me much. And I was still curious about them, despite knowing what they were. You could settle for the regular Safari releases of these critters, which also aren't particularly appealing.

Lovely haul, Roselaar! Congrats! 

Thanks EmperorDinobot!  I have not seen a grey one yet. 

[postsaurischian]

Thanks EmperorDinobot!  I have not seen a grey one yet. 

Have you seen the special edition ?

[postsaurischian]

    Favorite Tamba sauropod repainted by copper!  (more pics later)

[Invicta Hunter]

That paint job looks very nice, better than the original.

[CityRaptor]

Well, the Tamba Sauropod does not have the most interesting paintjob, so being better is not that hard if professionally done.
This however looks beautiful!

[Ridureyu]

I got the new CollectA Xenoceratops:

I love it when these companies use dinosaurs as an artistic canvas.

[docronnie]

Thanks EmperorDinobot!  I have not seen a grey one yet. 

Have you seen the special edition ?

Not physically, maybe in photos. But I have a hunch that I'll see one in the future, since I have a Spinosaurus and a Triceratops.

Picked this up at a local used book store.



The dinosaurs aren't worth getting this book for, other books have tackled them way better and the book is dated, published in 1998. What makes the book unique is the wide coverage of other prehistoric animals which are rarely tackled. Fishes, amphibians, mammals and other synapsids, archosaurs, lepidosaurus...lots of coverage. Far from a complete encyclopedia mind you but better than most.

Looks cool. Got any pics of the inside of it?

I got a 1960's dimetrodon in white. And not a Dino but a 1960's clown from ka boom cereal bowl hanger.

[thunderlizard?]

That giganotosaurus looks great.  What is it?  That's not a resin is it?

What Giganotosaurus are you talking about...?

[Gwangi]

Are you talking about the CollectA Carcharodontosaurus on page 217?
