Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

The Groovy Tubes Gone Extinct book is available on Amazon, though it's crazy expensive for a new one (and I'm assuming you'd need a new copy to get the figures). I was able to get a copy on ebay early this year for just a few bucks so it may pay to be patient. I had to have the arthropleura. Had to have it...

Be careful of buying a used groovy tubes book and figures. I bought one over a month ago and it had no figures with it. Luckily the seller gave me a full refund...but ask questions before you buy any because many sellers think you want it solely for the book.

Highly possible assumption: I have some new dinos, hidden somewhere in the endless maze of unopened presents under my tree, confined in bubble wrap, bags and boxes, crude taping, nice taping, only to be released at approx. 7:30 in the morning, the earliest time my mom is wiling to get up on December 25.    You will be free, soon.

I can guess there will be none under the tree for me.     But, the looks on my kids faces as they unwrap there presents and find the dinos that are hidden in the boxes, that will still be joy.

Luckily for me, I'm one of those kids who gets the dinos, but frankly if my dad had shelves of dinosaurs in his room I think I would realize that he would want dinosaurs for christmas.

Sounds like my house. The good dinos are in my office and the kids know it.

And I never wait for a pre-determined season to get them

Ever since I was little, I wanted to find a dinosaur-shaped present underneath the Christmas tree. I never did... until this year.
As far as I know, my beloved girlfriend got me a gorgeous Spinosaurus model from Papo and she is going to wrap it exactly the way I had imagined as a kid.
I cannot wait to knee before the Christmas tree, grab the present, open it with a big green on my face, and be that 8-year-old kid again!

@laticauda, I really hope your kids will be just as happy when they open their dinosaur presents. In the end, it is all about bringing joy and making dreams come true.

I wish. I would love to just earn money and buy them myself, instead of just waiting for my parents to get some free time.

Scored this big lot on eBay:

A lot of cool figures from various lines (and many Chinasaurs). For instance:

A lot of AAA. Some of them ugly, others pretty well done.

Old Bullyland figures. Some fabulous species. Too bad about the paint wear.

Sega Dinosaur King minifigures. Love these colourful figs. Some of the species need identifying though.

Wonderful acquistions  .





They are my lasts acquistions from another flea market of the last sunday  .

[sauroid]

what are those figures in your last pic, Jetoar? any out of the bag shots?

If I made a vid like that it'd get weird when I sniff up the New Toy Smell

Lol! XXDD It would be entertaining more than anything really, lol.

Ugly, I know, but I like the style of the earlier Carnegie pieces.

Same here. In my case it must be nostalgia. I love the 1988 Maiasaura. It encapsulates what quality dinosaur toy models looked like when I started collecting them as a teenager.

[Alexxitator]

And here they are; my most recent new pieces
And yes; there's a piece ó Rebor!
My first impression is that the sculpt is a tad more sophistocated than Papo's and the painting most definitely is. I have no regrets 

The new ones

I'm still waiting on my Rebor Rex to get here... I'm hoping it will arrive today. He's so awesome!
