I picked up mine off of eBay about three years ago for around $100 Cdn. That was painful at the time, but now seems like a bargain. Shortly afterwards I found the Stenonychosaurus in a $5 bag of toys at a thrift shop in Toronto, to redress the balance, I suppose.

..on 2015 I bought from UK the whole limited Invicta boxed collection with Lambeosaurus for half that price..  :o

Shonisaurus

I suppose the Invicta lambeosaurus is extremely rare judging by the high prices these figures are sold for. I suppose my titanoboa will become more expensive over time than imaginable. It is lucky to have both figures for very low prices and even a free Rebor titanoboa thanks to everythingdinosaur

Another Invicta Lambeosaurus

(I don't have to bother, since I already own it, since about 1990 I think, so I will leave it to someone else ;-)

Those prices blow my mind! :o

The price is outrageous for sure. What they're clearly doing is presenting it as having quadruple its value in the hopes that someone might offer them double its value.

And an original type Carnegie Parasaurolophus:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1988-Carnegie-Safari-PARASAUROLOPHUS-Dinosaur-Figure/283991064872?hash=item421f2fc128%3Ag%3A%7EZoAAOSwudpfOUK8&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=4

Judging by the yellow head and underlying white plastic, I'd say this is actually a ~1995 era model. The original 1988 ones were all white or pale yellow with dull green wash, followed by all green with a white head in the early 90s. The yellow headed version is mid-90s. Just FYI - don't want people to overpay for "vintage" figures :D

I was aware of this, but I guess I should have made myself clearer.  By 'original type', I was trying to say that it probably wasn't an original 1980s figure, but that it was made with the green and yellow colour scheme and before the neck was modified.  Sorry if I misled anyone. :-[

Oh, ok. Yeah I did misunderstand what you meant (though it's not the original color scheme either).

I spotted a good opportunity to get quite a few of the old Inpros at a reasonable price (so far). They are often sold individually for not much less:

Get in their quick Rob.

Are they in front of the toilet there?

Ha ha, I really hope so. Although I fear it may just be a sink.
