Hello from the (near) bottom of the world!

[Victorsaurus]

Hello everyone!
I'm Victor and I'm from New Zealand (it's said 'Nu Zillund' probably due to the accent) and I've been interested in most living things for about 86.375% of my 16 year long life.
When I'm not doodling dinosaurs I can often be found doing origami, playing Pokemon or furthering my career as an amateur stand up comedian (with an emphasis on the 'amateur'!)
Yes, I also collect dinosaur toys though in the enlightened place known as New Zealand (God's Own Country according to the tourists) this is quite a hard task due to the rarity of any decent companies but I still remain vigilant that as long as I have disposable income and a good internet connection my collection will survive!
I would like to tell more interesting anecdotes but I don't want to bore you so that is my short spiel on myself...

well that's the end, no need to stay, goodbye.

Wha-what? that's it? you are just going to greet us and then be like "okay bye"? WHATS UP WITH THAT MAN???

[Victorsaurus]

Haha being an Asian in New Zealand you often get much ruder farewells than that... and anyway I can't perform the traditional farewell spit over the internet so I wasn't really sure what other culturally exclusive farewells I could use.

Welcome to the forum Victorsaurus! You may well be our first New Zealander

Not sure if I should be honoured that I'm the first New Zealander here or slightly saddened by the lack of dinosaur toy collectors in New Zealand.

There may be some closet kiwis already lurking on the forum, and I'm sure you can't be the only Dino collector in the country

Hello.

You're not the only Kiwi here. There are a couple of others, but I'm not so sure they're active any more.

[Victorsaurus]

Oh yes, I passed it once on a school tramp (hike in NZ lingo), can't wait for it to be finished!

They post on FB on occasion..I sold them the Carnotaurus bust they have.

It promises to be a cafe and shop..could be  a good place to meet other dino collectors as well.

If it becomes a shop one can only hope that it becomes the second shop in New Zealand to avoid falling into what I call the 'Schleich trap.'

Ah yeah..but they might carry all sorts of things including Schleich which, for some reason, is a very popular brand. lol

[Victorsaurus]

Oh you don't know, in New Zealand your only choices are Schleich and in some of the smaller stores, Papo it's almost like a pandemic! Oh well, as long as I have the internet...
