Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

Sorry, I didn't answer to some questions about my latest acquisitions because I'm not at home in these days ( busy working... ) 
As others said, Triceratops and Camarasaurus are german figures made by Ravensburger for the Tiptoi line.
Here the complete line (with the exception of the Velociraptor - I don't have it - ):

Have a nice day 

Thanks for sharing this dino line of figures. I don't think I was ever familiar with them. They remind me a bit like the newer Schkeich figures, especially with the color scheme they use. What is that yellow/orange oval patch I see on all of them on the Amazon site?

It's in German but it's easy to understand. The Tiptoi pen shows some informations about the model to the kids using that tool.

would have been nice to have some of the Ravensburger figures, if not for that darn yellow thing.

It reminds me of the Discovery Kids dinosaurs from Jakks Pacific. Those had little stickers over the spot where you touched a little remote to hear information about the dinosaurs. But the stickers came off and you were left with a smooth spot of the same base color as the rest of the animal. Are these the same, or is the orange spot permanent?

Unfortunately it's permanent....

Got this lot in today!:

Those minisaurs better stay in their tubes, or else the Spinosaurs will have a nice snack.

Did you get the Deluxe Spino from Urzeitshop? I ordered mine from Dan and I'm still waiting...

[Shonisaurus]

I know the only store that sells them is minizoo.au

[Dinomike]

Hooray! The spino's out!

[SBell]

I just came back from a trip to Florida and found a few great things (and left behind a lot of terrible things).

First off, I found a ridiculous number of rays--and this doesn't even count my kids' stuffed animals...



I also found a few dinos:


The Battat re-release  Ceratosaurus and Amargasaurus. And my son found a 4D puzzle 'raptor' model, which is clearly based on the Ornitholestes from Walking with Dinosaurs.

Is it me or every single new picture makes the deluxe spine look not as good as the previous? I´m NOT saying that it looks bad, but if you compare it to the picture of the toy fair that show the three spinos....
Still, I´m going to get it no matter what

Bought it at my regular real-time physical Collecta address in Amsterdam. Guess they got it in early. The big Spino indeed isn't as detailed as the stock photos would have us believe, but still a very impressive large figure.

Sbell, that 4D puzzle is awesome! Is it FameMaster? And where can I get one?

I guess most toys rarely live up to the prototype. Still looks great though.

Actually forget that. I didn't realise it was a bulk listing.

[Bokisaurus]

Nice additions. I really wish those spins and rex would be available already!

The Canadian CollectA distributor failed to get more than a few of the deluxe spinos in--no standard figures, no tubes. I am, as usual, unimpressed. I do have some coming...eventually.

As for the puzzle, it is a FameMaster but it appeared to be repackaged, as they often havce been. We found just the one in the Orlando airport, so that probably wouldn't help much. That brand makes some great models, but they are way too obscure or hard to find.

Thank you! They seem like pretty big models. I have to say I laughed a bit at the German narrator. He was going on and on in German, then all of a sudden, "Wow! Super!!" Hehe! Thanks again. They look pretty cool!

And congrats, Roselaar! Nice to see these finally coming into someone's hands.

Okay, thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye out for this lovely figure.

Should anyone want close-ups of the Spinosaur(s), just let me know.

I'm not interested in acquiring the Deluxe, but I would still like to see some pics, please.

[Concavenator]

Yes,pics please!
