CityRaptor

Depending on how your collection develops, it will be a Beast Wars for territory.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no


Fofer

#6201


Chap Mei Tyranosaurus, Dinosaur King Altirhinus and Mapusaurus.



Got this in a local store in a dark dark square xD:

Blade-of-the-Moon

The little hatchling Rex that comes with Malcolm was a great piece of sculpting..totally worth buying the set.

Roselaar

#6203
This just in, the final Lego set I needed to complete the park (except for that little polybag):

ZaZZU2

Great buy on that Lost World Set Fofer! Love the posing of the figures beside the set Roselaar, Lego Indominus seems really excited!  :)) :))

Very nice Spino model! Is the fish supposed to represent any particular species?

DinoToyBlog said that it is a gar (  http://dinotoyblog.com/2011/06/19/spinosaurus-hunting-desktop-model-by-dinostoreus/  ).
I'm not a specialist in fish ....  :-\

The water effect is a bit distracting, but otherwise a fine model. Congratulations. :D

Given that it is a Cretaceous gar from Africa, there are only a couple of possibilities. The first one coming to mind is Atractosteus africanus, but I dont' believe the snout looks right for Atractosteus. Another Cretaceous African gar species is Oniichthys falipoui. Given the shape of the snout and relative size, it could be that. Either one really.

Thanks for the answer. Since the exact species of fish is in dispute, this doesn't apply as a suitable entry for the Unique Species Thread.

Of course.  See my topic:   http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=3483.msg103480;topicseen#new

Have a nice day   :)

Bokisaurus

Second wave of CollectA figures have arrived from down under :D
I have to say that I was really looking forward and excited about the prehistoric mammals and I was not disappointed when I finally got the figures! They are beautiful pieces, very much what I have hoped for, in fact these are the best prehistoric mammals from CollectA IMHO.
Joining the mammals is the ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus giving birth, another exciting figure.
I posted a lot of photos with some comments, in the CollectA new for 2015 thread for those of you who would like to see them closer and at different angles. I decided to skip the Acro this time, he was really not on my priority list, and will just wait for his when he is available in the US.
I got all of th figures from MiniZoo, and the prices is pretty much the same as US. Quick shipping, too.

I just can't wait to buy them all......  ;)

Indeed, Robin I can not wait. Bokisaurus is a very lucky person I too wish that I arrived as soon as possible these figures.

The moropus looks magnificent Chalicotherium far exceeds the mark of Bullyland. Moreover fabulous Smilodon from the point of view of paleoartística recreation.

  Although for me the most anticipated is the guidraco and Spinosaurus (three versions new version).

Thanks for the zoom. It is clearly a fish (gar) in this picture. I've also noticed that the water is actually blue here (as opposed to pineapple flavored hair gel)  ???
