Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Ikessauro]

So how do we, all the way outside of Brazil, get this figure?

You guys can get in touch with Guilherme through Facebook. He has released four models by now. The fish comes with Oxalaia, but I guess if you talk to him you can get only the fish.

[Nebuloid]

These two bad boys just arrived :



Unboxing the T-Rex especially made me all giddy, bigger than I expected, and heavier ! Almost feels like resin...

[Jetoar]

The last weekend I was in a flea market and I bought these figures  .





Sometimes, we can find treasures  .

I wouldn't mind the set--but the fish is coo in and of itself.

Still waiting on my Carnegie haul to get here, lol.

[tyrantqueen]

Yay, glad to see it arrived safely Looks like it was a pain to unwrap, but seeing the damage that the box sustained during transit perhaps all that bubble wrap was justified.

[ignite444]

Yeah it was a bit, it was sticking to the model, lol.

I don't know why, but every package I get from the UK gets beat up, it's ridiculous. ._. So all the more power to ya for using more bubble wrap.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Wow, Ikessauro, that Spino is really beautiful. Congrats!

My Tamiya Brachio just arrived today, and in mint condition!! YAY! I also found in this one just what I always wanted.... a model that was already glued together, and very meticulously! He even chose the exact option pieces I would've -- the open mouth and the raised walking leg! It also isn't glued to the base, which I wanted so I can use him as more of a figure for diorama purposes. So the manual labor part of it is finished and now I get to do the fun, creative part of painting him and bringing him to life! A very happy new year here for me!

PT back issue that i needed

[EmperorDinobot]

I got uh...more dinobots.

[Cammy]

I haven't posted here in a little while, but I also haven't been spending much so here are all my recent dinosaur acquisitions from the last few months, including some magazines and new books, and a really lucky find, John Horner's Digging Dinosaurs! The Dinobots were Christmas presents, and just yesterday I found these cute, nicely presented Chinasaurs at Prices Plus for $3.99 each and just couldn't resist!

They're copies of the Safari Ltd. Carnegie Collection Miragaia and the CollectA Stegosaurus, although with different colour schemes. While the patterning on the Miragaia is still the same as the original, the patterning on the Stegosaurus appears to be more reminiscent of the Wild Safari Stegosaurus.

I think they both look great, and am really surprised by the quality of the toys and the presentation in the packaging (if a little excessive).

[DinoLord]

Nice acquisitions Cammy! I haven't seen that Spinosaurus Nat Geo myself; I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I assume it's from around November 2014?

are the knock offs hollow?

[Cammy]

The National Geographic magazine with the Spinosaurus cover and feature is the October 2014 issue, I hope you're still able to find it!

The Chinasaurs are indeed hollow, and joined together from two pieces in the middle of the torso. I had to go through a few sets of them to find the ones with the least-noticeable joins.

Here's a close-up of them:

Today I bought a brand new Papo Spinosaurus for less than $3. What a great deal! It's amazing how often people do not know the real value of items they're selling.

I have that Miragia, too, it´s hollow, but looks good!

Finally, after three auctions, won this "Mcgrady" Triceratops. I'm assuming CM Studios. Anyone got this or know anything about it?

I love the triceratops, really nice and detailed!

My boyfriend recently bought me the lovely Papo Allosaurus, and I then went and got the Carnotaurus to keep him company!



I then found the CollectA Diplodocus in my local fossil shop in Lyme Regis. Seriously, if you are in the UK and ever happen to swing by Dorset, Lyme has so many fossil and dino themed shops it's great!

Great choice and photo, they look great together. I just bought a Carnotaurus from Everything Dinosaur. Cannot wait for it to arrive!

Not my case
