Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

Excellent catch Loon!  I bought my Dino Expo 2002 dinos at a dollar each or less, including that rare Acrocanthosaurus. 

Nobody was able to identify it correctly back then, but a PM from another collector showed me the Kaiyodo Guidebook where my figure was featured. I think a few days after,  Blackdanter pointed out that it was indeed a collector book figure.

Positive for Archinto

[Fenestra]

That is one beautiful new acquisition, Takama.
Congratulations!
I guess that's going to be your center piece for quite a while! 

I bought some cheap Dilophosaurus skull from china which turned out to be pretty nice!

(The stand is something I had lying around.
The figure is Safari ltd. Dilo 2.0)

That's a beautiful skull, Fenestra.  What is it made of?

[spinosaurus1]

papo kaprosuchus. probably the best crocodyliformes figure available.

It's resin.
And it had a horrible varnish smell when I took it out of the package.
Hooray for toxic chinese paint!

It's amazing the old stuff you can still find on flea markets these days!:

Need an ID on the small Plesiosaurus and the (sadly legless) Archaeopteryx, please.

Also found this baby, though obviously not on a flea market:

Just wear gloves when you handle it. 😇

The same Blue I mentioned but did not show in an earlier post.

Also needed something for a non-Dinosaur related Amazon order to qualify for free shipping, so I got "The Land that Time forgot" as a graphic novel.

I don't know but the same arheopterix figure is shown in this post. I hope this helps.

Yes and no. I may still not know the company, but at least I know what the full figure looks like. Thanks!

Didn;t know they made a graphoc novel of TLtTF, it looks neat!

[Halichoeres]

The Archaeopteryx is from a Famemaster 3D puzzle, one of their best. It also included a featherless Velociraptor from which the Archaeopteryx was fleeing.

Great, thanks! I already felt it had a FM feel to it.

[Zhuchengotyrant]

Nice findings everyone! As for me, I just received my Safari Utahraptor from forum member Emperor Dinobot's eBay store. Positive for him!

[Libraraptor]

Roselaar what a lucky find!  It's a pity that one never,  never finds such things on flea markets in Germany but only worn-off Schleich crap.

I would also welcome second hand Schleich on flea markets, where they belong. In fact, that's where I got half my Schleich collection.

But yeah, you gotta love the diversity on Dutch flea markets.

I got this Sega Triceratops to go with the Sega Tyrannosaurus. Very nice (and very big) toy models.

[Faelrin]

I just picked up the Terra Battat Tyrannosaurus at Target today, with the money I got from donating plasma today. I really regret not picking these figures up sooner. It is such a nice T. rex figure, considering the sculpt was originally done in the 90's I think? Even if this line is sold at Target (and elsewhere?) now, I'm really glad it has a connection to my childhood favorite museum. I'm even wondering if the T. rex statue I saw there in the late 90's was the one similar to this figure (or rather the original figure). If only my memory from then wasn't too fuzzy.
