Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[ceratopsian]

I was completely baffled today when I came home and my husband asked what I had ordered by courier - a long, narrow box with a triangular cross-section was blocking the hallway.  It looked for all the world like it might be concealing some sort of rods.  I swore I hadn't ordered anything.  Then I began to prise my way in.  This was what was inside!



So yes, I had ordered it.  I just didn't expect the packaging to look like that.  I'd been hankering after the Safari "Dinosaurs of China" Mamenchisaurus with fossil for ages to make up my set.  In the end I bought one without the box - I'd have opened it anyway and freed the sauropod.  I hadn't quite appreciated just how long the model is.  It's been moved to the top shelf of my wardrobe - temporary (and hopefully dust-free) accommodation until my purpose-built display units are available later this summer.

I got a huge package in the mail, and my mom opened it up to show me 9 foam things covered in false grass. I also got a few fake trees, which was nice.

Oh, I also got this thing called "Kinetic Sand" which IMO is amazing for dioramas.

[Reptilia]

Cool! Where did you get all that stuff from, Amazon? I mean the fake grass and plants, not the dinos.

[CrypticPrism]

I think.

[Cloud the Dinosaur King]

Tomorrow, I might be getting a wide range of dinosaur models from someone at my school. He doesn't know much about dinosaurs, so he can't tellme what species they are, but he said one has spikes on its back and the other is huge, gray and has a huge neck and feet(please be the Papo Brachiosaurus ). I just hope he's not kidding around(that wouldn't be the first time however).

i hope he's not selling you a boxful of chinasaurs...

I finally was able to get the Favorite Guanlong that I "adopted" from Halichoeres.

[CrypticPrism]

My account...it's...it's...alive!


Saturday I'll be getting the safari pterosaur, pachyrhinosaurus, shunosaurus, diabloceratops, and the CollectA mirigiaia. The CollectA Gastonia is also arriving on the 26.

[CrypticPrism]

The CollectA mosasaurus came in the mail and I got two yowies.

[Roselaar]

Received a new batch of wonderful PNSO models, thanks to acro-man. Fabulous figures!

[Dinomike]

Wow Roselaar! Great figures indeed - I'm happy to own the Chungkingosaurus. Won't be my last PNSO.

[Silvanusaurus]

Has the Lufengosaurus figure always been such a vibrant green, or is that a new colour variation like they did for the original T rex? I seem to remember it looking duller, but it may just be different lighting.

I noticed that too.. It seems to be quite different from mine...

[Jose S.M.]

Wow people have been getting great hauls lately, Invicta, PNSO, safari  CollectA, rarities like the carnegie Deinonychus and the safari Mamenchisaurus. Congratulations to everyone.

It is! I didn't realize it until I saw that pic, but it's definitely gotten a new paint job. It's much more shiny, losing some surface detail. It also got a new big stripe across its flank. It kinda looks like a European tree frog but in the shape of a Lufengosaurus. I think I prefer the new style, it makes the creature looks less emaciated.

[Shonisaurus]

Thank you Roselaar for giving us our eyes with the photos of your beautiful acquisitions. Without a doubt they are expensive but they are worth it apart from all that they are immense and beautiful.  PNSO has real potential in terms of creating dinosaur figures.

Congratulations Roselaar! 

[sauroid]

it's been mentioned in the forum that the PNSO Lufengosaurus looked like a mummified/fossilized animal (words to that effect) instead of a living one so im guessing that PNSO staff have been reading our comments about their figures, hence the improvement.

[Lanthanotus]

This is some stuff I acquired lately...



The Jobaria is a mixed bag in terms of accuracy but it has a lot of character and I really like the fleshy nose and lip on the upper jaw, I changed its slit pupils to round ones though I've to admit. It's a huge figure, standing a proud 29,5 cm high, so it towers even the big CollectA Cycad Tree.

[Neosodon]

The Jobaria would look more realistic as a corpse I think.

Regarding Collecta in the U.S, I got word that the dinosaur farm is getting a shipment from collecta. But before you get to exited it is just older models from before 2016. But it is nice to know that collecta hasn't completely neglected are country.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Dean is still waiting on his order, hoping for a week or so i think.
