Uk - fascination with the Land of the Rising Sun

Thanks for including the pictures and for highlighting the service received from us @Everything_Dinosaur glad you like the Rebor Velociraptor foetus. As for the T. rex foetus version, this is out of production and not likely to be put into production anytime soon. Sorry to hear that you are unwell, we wish you a speedy recovery.

"Mild" is certainly relative, but glad to hear you can rest up at home. Feel better soon. And is that a Shaun of the Dead action figure? Didn't know such a thing existed!

@UK Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Sooner or later we will all suffer from Covid, it is only a matter of time, although now it will not be as lethal as a year and a half ago.

Glad you got Rebor's weirdness, that formalin-preserved velociraptor must be quite an interesting figure.

Decided to add to my display inaccuracies by suspending a schleich blue whale I recently purchased.

Will think of a better display at some point.

[Gwangi]

That's a really clever way to display those marine animals.

[Bokisaurus]

Wonderful addition, I wasn't aware that it was that big. Fun display 😃
Hope you're almost recovered.

I am pretty much there or the abouts. I enjoy whimsical and this hotch potch works for me.

Paleo Creatures passed me by. How I don't know and have to lament on that. However, I grabbed my second today from @Everything_Dinosaur , what a beauty. And thanks for the usual excellent service.

Thanks for the mention of @Everything_Dinosaur and for posting your pics.

Anyone for shreddies? Not sure these are to many collectors tastes any more but these 50s flats are terrific.

I remember as a child the excitement of a mystery gift in the cereal box, my brother and I would always squabble over opening the new box.

I'm missing 6 and have spares to trade if you want to swap? Information sheet is original too, slightly out of date.

Great photos @UK!

Love the names on the marking off sheet, "long nosed freak", "winged demon"! Was that sheet something you had from childhood?

I have the Archaeopteryx and Stegosaurus, but got them a few years back, not alas back then. We  used to get Weetabix and Cornflakes, so missed out on the Shreddies dinos  .

They're worth quite a bit now though, aren't they? Suspect they have a wider appeal than the usual retro dinosaurs.

[Shonisaurus]

Beautiful photos and beautiful curious figures I congratulate you.

Something completely different for my birthday, a present from my daughter. What's not to like, dinosaurs and Lego for adults.

Sadly not able to start yes as Romeo is just too keen to help. He's tried to open the box to get started himself 🤣

[Lanthanotus]

Happy birthday and enjoy building it once your cat allows it

Thank you @Lanthanotus

Have you done some 'photoshopping' to your cat ?
His colors are just so strong ... amazing

That's Romeo in his full unadulterated glory. He's just turned 7 months and already approaching 13lbs. Our little rescue cat Delilah looks like a micro cat next to him.

He's a big baby who follows us around like a puppy.

Thanks

That's a bit mean to poor Palaeotherium in particular, but also to others like the Plateosaurus. Who came up with those "common names"?

Great Lego set, reminds me of Night at the Museum

[ceratopsian]

That name sheet is quite priceless!  Lots of amusement from the names - "Dino Dwarf"!  Fun to see that the "Swan-necked Serpent" is really called Diplodocus too.  What makes the names even funnier is that some are so pedestrian (like Fish Lizard) and some so wild.

Lovely cat you have there too!

Thank you. He's a real character.

That segment of cardboard must be 60+ years old. You can just imagine youngsters in the late 50s knowledge on dinosaurs being influenced by their shreddies collection. They have a certain aroma about them too that  Romeo finds irresistible.

Grabbed 2 very large out of production Sega figures from 2004. Great items but just burn up all my space.

Sadly Trike is missing a toe from countless battles.
