Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

Who makes that Caulki? Is that a Unique Species?

Design Toscano. It's resin and quite huge. 
Unfortunately it's toothless... 
Two weeks ago it was strongly discounted on Amazon Italy.
Now it's full priced again.

This little fella has arrived today~ 

My Stegosaurus "Clover" from Rebor also turned up today.  It's a larger model than I expected and more substantial.  I had a slightly worrying moment when I put the egg into the curved bowl of the base and feared for a horrible moment that it was going to be pushed forward and off by the pressure of the ferns behind, but no.  Phew!  I was pleased to find that the clover leaf was an optional extra, supplied in a little plastic bag, so I didn't have to work out if it could be extracted from the hatching's jaws without causing damage.  One worry less!  In the same package were the CollectA Regaliceratops - small, but perfectly formed and an attractive addition to my herd of ceratopsians.  Also the CollectA Ginkgo biloba tree, which is quite imposing.

It's been a good day for opening packages, as I also had the pleasure of removing Jetoar's pair of Teleocrater from their little box.  They're charming miniatures.

And I placed a commission with Martin Garratt, so something to look forward to.....

And here are a few shots of the Teleocrater pair by Jetoar.  I was keen to try out my new phone's camera!

Starlux euparkeria

[Megalosaurus]

Nice.
I specially like the Eritro & the Teleos.
For me I got this: (sorry for the blurry cellphone picture)



I'm specially fond of the rare arthropleura, and acanthodians.

How much can one get by selling the Arthropleura? I have one that I wouldn't mind getting rid of. Thansk

I don't know how much someone is willing to pay. A forum friend sell it to me so he doesn't made much profit.
Its value resides in that its the only figure of arthropleura in the world. It is rare to find by itself (I never see one on ebay or yahoo). But seems that you still can get the book that contains it in amazon.
So it can be a nice figure to trade with.

Congratulations on your new acquisitions!

TFL! 

[Fembrogon]

I suddenly had a craving a couple of weeks back, so I grabbed two of the Colorata Dinosaur sets off of eBay.
They came in this weekend:



I'll be working on reviews for these, so hopefully you'll see those sometime soon.

[Neosodon]

I hope you like bases.

[Lanthanotus]

That is a very nice Smilodon figure, docronnie.

Nice colorata sets aswell, thought about getting these too.

Thanks Lanthanotus! 😇

Great acquisitions everyone!

As for me, I got some papos:

[Loon]

Haven't bought some figures in a while, and some of the stuff you guys have looks tempting...
I have managed to pick up a few things though.

Some Kenner JP stuff for that ever growing collection.

If anyone has a Stegosaurus skin patch or the Dilophosaurus frill, please let me know

I found this Kaiyodo set at a local collectibles show (not for the price on the sticker, mind you).


If anyone could tell me about this, it would be very much appreciated, I can't seem to find anything on it.

[BlueKrono]

I recognize one figure in there I'm familiar with - that white repaint of the Acrocanthosaurus. Much rarer than the dark, normal version, I've never seen it for sale for less than $80. Perhaps the others are color variants as well - you could check the Bay.

That set was released for the 2002 Dino Expo. There were 8 in all, five came in that box set, and they were all repaints of Dinotales 3 figures. I've seen this set of five for $80 or so on eBay, and maybe a little less on YAJ.

There was a third Acrocanthosaurus repaint that only came with the Series 3 art book, it's similar to the Expo one but not identical, and that one's much rarer.

If I'm not mistaken, you have the one on the right, correct? The one on the left is the book version, that's the rare one (although yours is certainly rarer than the standard Dinotales version).

a lot of great acquisitions lately! Coloratas, Kaiyodos, Papos, Carnegies, Paleocreatures and all others. Congrats to all their new owners!
