Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[CityRaptor]

The Japanese truelly know the art of creating mini-figures. Candy Toys, Capsule Toys and premimus....suddenly I had dozens of Godzilla figures. Although it is under control now, as a decided to mainly focus on Mini Dioramas.

Fair warning--it's a slippery slope. I started with a few original Dinotales (one, to be exact--the S1 Brontotherium). Then the whole Dinotales sets. Now I have hundreds of Japanese figures of so many animals...it will never stop...

Luckily I was able to stop after finishing my Dinotales collection, though I am a sucker for whatever new prehistoric figures Kaiyodo releases...

I don't have a complete collection and I'm still a sucker for those. Kaiyodo's offers are probably only sets of prehistoric animals where I also collect mammals.

The beast in the bird cage looks fantastic. Don't make it upset! 

[Dinomike]

Whoa! So many fantastic acquisitions everyone! Bird cage is a nifty idea, love it!

They really got me hooked yes. Aside from having the Dinotales, CapsuleQ and a whole slew of specials nearly complete there's the Fossil Fish, Furuta dinos, Kitan Club turtles, seamammals and stuff in the Nature Techni Colour series I really like very much...
I also should start a topic in the trades section again, as I have quite a few doubles...

When you say Fossil Fish, are you referring to the Colorata boxed set? (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UT7TT6/ref=sr_ph_1?m=A3EB2A4ND4N4M5&ie=UTF8&qid=1436458330&sr=1&keywords=colorata+fossil+fish)

Yep

[Kayakasaurus]

I started buying dinosaurs from Goodwill, here's what I've found so far

[Paleona]

Nice finds!  I need to start looking at my local thrift stores, too.   I love that pic of the Brachio- that's the perfect twig!  The color editing is lovely, as well.

[laticauda]

Very nice finds.  I have never found anything when I have gone to thrift stores, so my hats off to you.

Thank you, I used a smoke bush twig for the tree  there's usually a lot of dinosaurs at our Goodwill and it's always neat to find a good one. I can't afford to buy a lot of brand new $9 figures, but who can pass up $2?

Very nice finds.  I have never found anything when I have gone to thrift stores, so my hats off to you. 

I've gone to our value village a couple times and there hasn't been anything good, but for some reason, just down the road, I've found all these guys.

[Takama]

My Goodwill does not get Anything Good  in unless its donated From ME.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

My Goodwill is expensive! LOL!

Nice finds, Kayakasurus! I like that Brachiosaurus pic. Is that a WS? I can't tell for sure from just the head and neck. (I know. I should be ashamed! )

Oh, I forgot to add that I picked up the three new Battat repaints! YAY!! They were the only ones they had, just one of each. And now they're mine, all mine! Muahaha!!

[EmperorDinobot]

I live sorta close to like 6 goodwills and all I see is garbage.

Yup that's the safari 1996, it's actually still in stores. Congrats on the Battats! My Target doesn't have them yet.

Yup there is plenty of garbage, each one of the figures I found was in bag with a bunch of Chinosaurs. It's like finding a pearl in a clam lol I think I might turn the Chinosaurs into a DIY coat rack or something 

[Libraraptor]

If dinosaurs like these were being sold in goodwill stores in Germany, I wouldn´t stroll ebay or the classification thread that often. Most the Goodwill stores close to me do sell  is rubbish.

[suspsy]

Tea Rex!

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Oh wow, suspsy, you got the CollectA Feathered T. rex! Who had it, MiniZoo? He looks good! Although, I still think those curves in his tail, especially the sharp curl at the end, doesn't seem possible in reality. Correct me if I'm wrong. But do any theropods have that kind of flexibility throughout their tails?

I didn't know he was going to have a base. All the prototype pics were baseless, I thought. Is he removable? I hope so!

[Shonisaurus]

Suspsy're a lucky person to have his hands that beautiful feathered tyrannosaurus. I congratulate you.

Certainly the Acrocanthosaurus Collecta, to me is perhaps the weakest part of this year within the range of luxury.

Does anyone know if the Acrocanthosaurus has plastic base?

[Jetoar]

Personally, new T-Rex is very strange to me. Other colors had been better even witt less feathers in its neak too  .
