Everyone's Flea Market Prehistoric Adventures

[tyrantqueen]

Maybe I'm crazy but that velociraptor reminds me a bit of Horizon's 1/5 JP raptor kit

[Libraraptor]

I don´t think you´re crazy, your find is obviously based on that kit.  An they scream "Jurassic Park".

I hope to have quite a flea market adventure this saturday, on the first King's Day in Dutch living history. Queen's Day always treated me well.

Good luck. And say good by to your money 

I love the flea market because i find there the things that I can't find in any local store.

"You may be right". Its very well crafted as you can see. It reads "Made in china" in the belly, no more info available.

Had a good first King's Day, as I scored these:

I used to have that Spinosaurus but in black, yellow and red. It makes the exact same noise as Godzilla's roar when you pull its arm.

[Roselaar]

The Godzilla roar is a common thing among ChapMeisaurs. This Spino got a different roar, still reminiscent of the Big G's, but definitely not the signature roar from the movies.

I'm happy for you.

I like the Schleich mammals, the dilophosaurus at left, papo croc & komodo d., the stego at upper center, the baryonix, the green pteranodon... Is it a mini battat Utahraptor? Or just a similar paint schema?
Also, is very interesting that big toy diplocalus.
Please post a picture of that green pteranodon, I think it was part of a board game, but I'm unsure.

This one?


Here in México and most of Latinamerica we get Chap Mei BOOTLEGS. I believe they are called "Parque Prehistórico" y "Valle del dinosaurio". I've never buyed one, but I think that here the Spino doesn't roar at all.

Does the sail light up too? Mine does that.

This one?

No, this one



I also had a Tyrannosaurus that looked like this



Got them both from the Early Learning Centre in the UK.

The Spino you referred to is a smaller Chap Mei Spinosaurus, TQ. This one is bigger, but does not have a light-up sail. The big yellow Raptor has a light-up frill though.

Meg, the little Raptor is a AAA Baby Raptor. That set of babysaurs is known for its Battatlike paint jobs. Which is why I bothered to buy them, as they are otherwise rather dull. The green Pteranodon (and various of the dinosaurs around him) belong to a board game of sorts from Scientific Toys:

I love the flea market because it makes posible to get figures that are impossible to get in my country.
My last trip to the flea market let me get this one:




I also see an Invicta TRex, but it has its arms mutilated, so I passed on it.

Then I found this Stryracosaurus Made In China. I like it, these scult is nice. Do you know if it its a knock off of a bootleg? I ask because is much better than your standar chinasaur.







Thanks.

[DinoLord]

Nice finds everyone. I have always had horrible luck at flea markets. The closest thing I've found to something desirable are broken Invictas.

I have one also - IMHO it looks like a Battat Styracosaurus knock-off

[stargatedalek]

a few years ago I scored in one lot for $60;

JPS1 command center
JPS1 electronic dilophosaurus
JPS1 spitting dilophosaurus
JPS1 (not electronic) velociraptor
JPS1 Alan Grant
JPTLW bull rex
JPTLW stegosaurus
JPTLW large pachycephalosaurus
x2 JPTLW small pachycephalosaurus
x2 JPTLW pteranodon
JPTLW electronic chasmosaurus

thats my biggest score, but over the years I've picked up quite a few other great deals
I get more second hand store finds than yardsale finds, but Idon't put much distinction between them, second hand either way

That was a big score!

[croatasaurus]

[Megalosaurus]

Hi.

All this for approx. $2 USD. ($30 MNX) + ChapMei octopus for aprox $1.30 USD (20 MNX)

[Lusotitan]

Chasmosaurus chinasaur
Not good.

I think this might be the same one I have. Does it say Styracosaurus on the bottom?

[Jetoar]

The last weekend I was in a flea market and I bought these figures  .





Sometimes, we can find treasures  .

[tyrantqueen]

Looks like the Tyrannosaurus has the "bad face" from that photo. It's a shame the mold was plagued by that particular issue.
