Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

Very nice bunch if animals. The Starlux are a dangerous one to start with--some of them oculd drive you crazy! It took me 7 years to track down an Edaphosaurus!

The Marx knock-offs are original Ja-Ru copies of Marx figures (the Pteranodon is their own design).

The Prior fishes are a great series. I had a bunch, but sold most of them (the electric catfish were the ones I wanted most!). Sort of like the Britains--there are people on the ATF and STS forums that love those figures!

I was hesitant about collecting Starlux at first, but now I just love them too much not to. Maybe I got cocky considering my first was a Cephalaspis found unexpectedly in a lot of random dinosaurs. If I can get that one, why not the rest of them, eh? 

May be a good idea to take the animal figurines to the ATF then. What's STS stand for? I'm not familiar with that one.

Well done on winning that auction, Roselaar, it was a very attractive lot. I've seen various Britains Ltd figures around on eBay, they are usually lead figures, I think they're probably very collectable, but I've always avoided them because I'm very wary of anything made of lead.

None of my Britains Ltd. are made of lead, but their quality does stand out compared to most other animal figures in that lot. They have a definite collectability vibe to them.

It's a German forum like Animal Toy Forum. It's nice:

Thanks, I'll be sure to check that one out as well.

There is a plastic series as well--not as old, but still popular with some collectors.

Beautiful beautiful new additions everyone
Well, I got some Schleichs's at clearance price of $2 each, the only price I would pay for these figures

And a couple of Mojo just to round up the ugly ball

I actually like the Sabertooth , it's from their mini series.
Happy hunting, I am eagerly awaiting my last set of CollectA 2016 figures!

[AcroSauroTaurus]

I got back from Chicago today, Went to the Field Museum and got a Safari brachiosaurus, and The Feild Museum exclusive Safari torosaurus and Anatotitan. But the main reason I went to Chicago was for Godzilla Fest, which explains the other figures in the picture.

Nice little field museum figures, I have Sue, but not the herbivores yet.

Landed the Battat Terra Series Acrocanthosaurus and Tyrannosaurus the other day. Definitely very nice.

Those two were the only ones I liked out of the four, Tyrannosaurus are accidentally over populated in my collection anyway.

Here's all my recent CollectA acquisitions. Some are from online, others come courtesy of the Indian River Reptile Zoo gift shop and Game and Hobby Zone in downtown Toronto.

[Concavenator]

Gorgeous looking Beishanlong,Lythronax and Thalassomedon!

[DinoLord]

Amazing that the Field Museum still has the Sue figures; the line must be around a decade old. Though I have a bunch of spare Anatotitan in storage if anyone wants one...

[MLMjp]

The other day I ordered the WHOLE Battat Terra range of figures from ED. And they are finally here! 

[Lanthanotus]

Nice "kick start" for a Battat collection, MLMjp, let's all hope they release the other ones too in the near future

Thanks
Since the Nanshiungosaurus has been discontinued and the Cryolophosaurus future is unclear, I said to myself: If I don´t do it now, those could be out of stock soon and never be re-stocked, which means that it will be more difficult and expensive to get them all in the future. I had enough money, so I took advantage of Everything Dinosaur promotion of the 12 figures set. 
I´m pretty happy with all of them, although I though some of them were bigger, and I really did not care about the Stegosaurus But another piece in the collection never hurts.

I also hope they will release the remaining ones in the future.....I need the Triceratops, the Edmontonia, the Ornithopods...the list goes on.

Ran across a nice little walking pterosaur puzzle/toy. A fun short diversion before having supper 

Part of a set of 6 dinosaurs. Canadian quarter (same size as US quarter) for scale in last photo.

And it does walk - better than i expected.

[Halichoeres]

That's a really clever design!

[Roselaar]

I've seen similar walking dinosaur models before, but never a walking Pterosaur. That's definitely a daring concept!
