Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

The Scelidosaurus is cool but it looks like the tip of the tail broke off. It might just be the angle of the photo though.

It's just the angle of the photo, fortunately!

am i the only one who can't view Bokisaurus' photobucket images?

[Reptilia]

I see his images but as far as I can recall I've always seen his profile picture as a broken link. I don't know if it's just for me, if that's because of Photobucket, or maybe cause he wants his profile picture to be like that.

I can see them (now I'm on an iPad)..

[Jetoar]

Thanks Ceratopsian for sharing it  .

Fresh haul from Everything Dinosaur:



Fabulous figures! The new Collectas and Safaris are real gems, with the Dimorphodon as the most impressive figure of the year IMO. The Rebors are neat, I didn't expect the Deinonychus trio to be composed of bendable figures. And even Mojo made a fairly decent Rex.

A bit of a mixed haul:

Got a mixed lot including The Lost World Carnotaurus (sadly missing the Dino-Damage cover), Carnegie Diplodocus, Iguanodon and Parasaurolophus.
I also obtained the classic BBC documentary Lost Worlds Vanished Lives on DVD.
And I was gifted a Hot Wheels Motosaurus, the spiritual successor of the Speed-A-Saurus. Assuming that the cockpit is indeed in the cranium of the vehicle, this would be a truely colossal vehicle....or a tiny driver.

I've not posted in this thread yet, but I'm so happy to finally have this one I had to share:

The PNSO Triceratops has to be one of my absolute favorite dino figures, excited to finally own it! (thanks again to acro-man)

Also for anyone who collect books/artwork, I also picked up this gem:

Its written in Swedish, which is unfortunately a language I do not speak, but its worth having for the really bright, fun illustrations. As I understand it, its written more for children, but the artist specifically tried to keep all of the animals as accurate as possible (while still being cute and cartoon-y, of course).

This book is very cool! Is it recent?

[paintingdinos]

This book is very cool! Is it recent?

Yes, I think it just came out this year. Found it while searching for an art print of something else- the illustrations were so charming, I just had to have it! The artist is Johan Egerkrans, who has a blog where you can see some high-res images of the illustration in the book (as well as some other fun art he does):

Thanks! I think I gotta have this book, love at first sight.

[sauroid]

awesome hauls everyone!

[alexeratops]

Another artist to look up to. Great find!

[BrontoScorpio]

A nice Lot from Japan :

[Lanthanotus]

Lot of nice stuff acquired there.. especially like the design of that Swedish book and....

@ BrontoScorpio What is that tiger striped sauropod, looks very interseting?

[JohannesB]

Had it shipped cheap to Atlanta, Georgia, where I'll be spending a few weeks in october. Apparently I was the only bidder. (Must not be in such high demand.) So all in all a fair price for this Invicta piece, I think. (Or not?) So I'll have to wait some time to collect it. In the meantime I'm waiting for a PNSO Chungkingosaurus to arrive. I am not really planning to buy more PNSO models than that one Chungkingosaurus, which I think is just gorgeous.

If I may digress just a little, try his book 'Nordiska Gudar'.The illustrations there are arguably even more beautiful. And a lot bigger book too, so even more to enjoy. (I am lucky, for once, to live in Norway.) But anyhow, beautiful illustrations in that 'Alla Tiders Dinosaurier'.

A lucky find on Taobao.
5 unpainted Battat for $25
Doesn't look like bootleg because the letters on their bellies are very clear.
So...

YES! YES! YES!!!!


My only question: is the Pachycephalosaurus tail really as slim as that of a rat?

[sauroid]

wow i never heard of unpainted Battats before, lucky find nevertheless, congrats.
