The Tyco page could certainly use a review of that Triceratops!

Is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9?

Is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9?

It is if you round it to one decimal place! 
Okay, I'll see if I can write one up when I get the chance! It might be a few days before I can send one to you, though, I have work to be done! And, of course, it's almost midnight were I am right now!
I'm being terrorized by a lightning storm, waaa! 

Suspsy what you said about cobalt reminds me of when my family used to say "Does a bear poop in the woods?" in response to obvious questions. I always replied "Not if it's a polar bear!"

The Doedicurus and Mammoth look so cute 

[Dilopho]

Wow, look what I snapped up (heehee, carnivore joke) on eBay!


Oh man, I love this old dude! This is the very first version of the Carnegie Tyrannosaurus!
I was going to get some Collectas but I saw this and I thought, "why not?" So I went ahead and got it!
I really like the blocky head. It's cute! I haven't actually got back to my house yet. I'm just writing some reviews for Suspsy on a relative's computer.
What do you think of this figure? I really, really like it. 

BUT! That's not all!
I managed to get this lot as well. The picture is from the seller:

Are these figures good? I like them from the pictures but does anyone have any opinions on them? I already have the Tricey but I'm not sure what version of it I just bought. I have the super old version, this one in the lot might be a "crisper" one from later years. 
Also, is that an Invicta? Whatever it is, it looks banana flavoured. Yummy!

P.S.
What the heck?! My Tyrannosaurus.....stands?!? Correctly?!?!

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

Nice additions! And that yellow mamenchisaurus is in fact an Invicta.

Good to know! I've never had one before. It should be here next week.

I think you'll find that its hard to stop at just one!

Nice haul suspsy.  Does this mean we'll see a review of the other set of CollectA minis soon?

Dilopho, your blockhead Rex looks great for its age.  Also congrats on your first Invicta.  I was watching the bids go up on an Invicta lambeosaurus yesteray on eBay, it ended around $56.  I wonder if anyone on here got that.

Yes, but not for a few weeks. I have two more Recur toys to review first, plus that WS pterosaur.

I have that one too, and mine stands horizontal as well.

It's a shame that it's harder to find Bullylands here in the states anymore.

[Lanthanotus]

Nice Bullylands you got there,.... added that Lambeosaurus some weeks back myself, it's an adorable piece.

[deanm]

Happy day my Favorite Cambrian Collection came in today!  Amazing figures & very happy with them.

Thanks. They are much better-looking in person than in the stock photos.

[Archinto]

Made a really good haul today. Those old imperial knockoffs are great! The waffle anky up front is an Imperial jiggler type figure. very rare to find.... Theres some other good stuff too. Loving the Schleich "Grauwal" :3 and that AAA sperm whale is super retro..... :p

"Grauwhal"? 

[Keaton64]

Grauwal is German for gray whale.  Some of the old schleich whale figures had the German name on the underside.  The blue whale is "blauwal", the humpback whale is "buckelwal", sperm whale is "pottwal", but for some reason I can't find a name on the northern right whale figure, it should have been something like "nordkaper". 

So far I only have the gray & right whale, and it's great to see fellow whalers.  I also have that imperial brachiosaurus along with a few others.  They were the dinos of my childhood.
