Can't help you out on your wants, but I can tell you that Cetiosaurus belongs to the classic Invicta line, which is the golden oldie of British dinosaur museum lines from the late seventies to the early nineties. That Iguanodon incidentally is also a Collecta figure rather than a NHM specimen.

[Gwangi]

The Cetiosaurus is worth keeping not only because it is from the classic Invicta line but also because it represents the first sauropod described by science. The name means "whale lizard" because they couldn't comprehend a terrestrial animal so large, as I understand it anyway.

Richard Owen thought that Cetiosaurus, and by extension all sauropods, must have lived in the ocean. He did not even believe it was a dinosaur at all, but some kind of sea dwelling reptile. I believe the name actually comes from the greek word, kèteios, meaning sea monster or some other.

Sounds about right as I recall it. Cetiosaurus does indeed mean whale lizard. Whales belong to the order Cetacea which does indeed translate to "sea monster" in Ancient Greek but it was also used to describe any whale, shark or large fish. A broad definition really. In the case of Cetiosaurus however it is supposed to mean whale just as Cetology means the study of whales and not the study of sea monsters.

Ain't etymology fun?

I have updated the list, I'm now also selling a NHM Ankylosaur and Procon Baryonyx

[Hynerpeton]

If possible could you post pics of your want list?

[Roselaar]

Incidentally, Procon and Collecta are the same company, in case you did not yet know. The older (and lesser) sculpts carry the Procon brand.

I wish I knew more about the Albert Heijn figures. I first introduced them here after finding them on a flea market, but I know next to nothing about them, other than they were sold with ice cream at Albert Heijn supermarkets some years ago (I don't do groceries there so I never encountered them). I have no idea if there's more than five extinct figures in this line, except for the few lousy dinosaurs they also produced.

EDIT: where would we be without the Internet? Just found this:

Scroll down to page 6 and 7 and you'll find the extinct animal line consisted of eight figures, including the dinosaurs. Which means I at least got a complete set and I can stop wondering about missing pieces. They're from 2004, so they're older than I thought they were.

[Hynerpeton]

Its a Buidelwolf?

[Wellnhoferia]

Yes, buidelwolf is German for thylacine, I think?

Dutch. Please don't compare us Dutchmen to Germans.

It's not a literal translation. 'Buidelwolf' means 'pouch wolf'.
