Did something happen to your WWD Liopleurodon?

It looks in perfect condition, much better than the one I paid too much for last year or the year before.

I've had multiples in the past. I've given a couple away and sold others. Then suddenly they sky rocket in value and I'm left searching for a bargain.

This one is in excellent condition and significantly lower price than the buy it nows currently on ebay.

Recur Retrosaurus Rex courtesy of the wonderful service from avatar_Everything_Dinosaur @Everything_Dinosaur. Far more robust than I was expecting. I had second thoughts about grabbing these due to being in two parts but I was wrong.  Sadly I missed the other version, hopefully they will be back in stock one day. I really need to invest in a better display but it's fun rotating.

You're right. Not sure why I typed that, probably tiredness.

Nice addition and almost historical timeline for Mr. Rexy ;D
I'm always fascinated and a bit nervous seeing your fabulous collection sitting on such small space! ;D

I've had quite a few costly and heartbreaking casualties over the years. Falling from those shelve is unforgiving. Our new kitten is full of energy and a very naughty boy. He's banned from there and he's greeted with a cold water spray when I catch him sneaking in but you can't be too mad with him despite those razor sharp little teeth.

I can imagine a bathroom floor being pretty unkind to fragile items. I guess kittens can be pretty unkind to their surroundings too!
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

It's not the floor, it's the bathroom furniture that's the issue.

New arrivals coming in thick and fast. Pv Andrewsarchus and Quick WWD T-Rex. Sadly PV is suffering from the dread stickiness.








Shonisaurus

avatar_UK @UK My congratulations. I'm so glad that you have the andrewsarchus from Play Visions again. First of all, I am eternally grateful to you for the one you sold me back in the day. I will take photographs of that figure sold by you and the Play Visions uintatherium whose figures I have on one of my favorite shelves.

The PV Andrewsarchus got me started in my love (and collecting) of this incredible animal, culminating in seeing the only fossil of it in New York two years ago. Despite the stickiness it looks great on your shelf.

I all but forgot the Favorite desktop 1920 Oldies T-rex has another side to it ...
It is facing the other way on my shelf.
The side you have chosen seem to have a more ferocious appearance.
Thanks for reminding ...  :)

It does bring out its wild side that way :-)

Despite a very nice package in transit, I've rearranged the bathroom. Might be shortlived.

I've updated the Timpo parade and gone caveman on the door frame.


















Shonisaurus

You have been great that relocation of your figures. You have a good collection and your positive is that it is a collection in constant transformation, you get rid of some figures and buy others. That is great you have an exquisite and elegant taste.

This beauty arrived today from the USA. I'm in awe how good it looked. I thought I was taking a punt on it due to the listing photos but how wrong was I.

Now to find where to display it.






Bokisaurus

Very nice addition! Glad to got a copy of it.
