Who makes that prehistoric mammal?

Looks like the Schleich Macrauchenia - one of Schleich's better figures.

I am guessing it is the Starlux ouranosaurus, congrats.

That would be the second greatest treasure, there's more than one.

I found a couple Dimetrodon i have and a pachy. What is that giant orange dimetrodon in the back? Has a big reddish orange sail on its back.

How sad that the poor STARLUX CEPHALASPIS is surrounded by so many less-than-worthy dinos!

[DinoLord]

Nice catch Roselaar! I used to get some really great hauls from toy lots years ago (mainly JP toys and Battats) but as time went on the pickings just kept getting slimmer and I became too busy.

To be fair you did say "Dino" experts so I was concentrating on dinos. I did see the Cephalaspis but didn't recognize it as a Starlux. Nice catch.

Touché.

Starlux Cephalaspis and Ouranosaurus were the big surprises of this lot. I didn't know they were among the others until I found them in the package. I was after the Laramis. The lot contained all of those except for the Plesiosaurus, plus various JP Series 1 and Die-Cast Metal figures, many Paninisaurs and a foursome of Inprosaurs (Protoceratops, Corythosaurus, Dimetrodon and Styracosaurus) and a huge number of early Nineties' Chinasaurs. Good deal for 37 euros.

I know little about Starlux. How rare are these two exactly?

If you happen to score the pannini psittacosaurus give me a pm for sure !!!

I didn't know there was one. Am I missing something here?

Actually Starlux is one of the lines I have never collected so I don't know much about them. Their dinosaurs always looked cartoony to me but some of their other stuff like the Cephalaspis do look good. There is one listed on eBay France right now and the guy is "asking" 300 euros. Of course you can ask anything but looking at some of the other prices on ebay saying you did very well is an understatement.

I got my hands on the
Carnegie 2012 Brachiosaurus
Safari 2013 Gryposaurus
CollectA 2013 (I think) T-rex with prey
and the Shleich Parasauralophus

My new childish acquisition, LOL.

It was 2012, but manufacture delays meant that they weren't available for the most part until 2013.

The Ouranosaurus is more notable as one of the first figures of the genus.

The Cephalaspis, along with the Drepanaspis, trilobite, brachiopod, some of the more unusual non-dinos and a few of the easy-break models (Synthetoceros, one of the Tanystropheus) are probably among the hardest to find in good shape, and can require ridiculous money to buy (although 300 Euros seems extreme).

Overall, their best figures are their not-dinosaurs. The range of reptiles and mammals is especially good.
