Yes, Invicta Liopleurodon is the best from my point of view.
[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.



{about the T-Rex) When he sees us with his kid isn't he gonna be like "you"!?

My two favorite invictas are the liopleurodon and the lambeosaurus. They look more like art than toys.
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

I owned the Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, Scelidosaurus, Elasmosaurus, and Pteranodon. At the present time, the T. rex is the only one I can find.

I never did understand why they included a whale in this line.

It was because, at the time, it was thought the blue whale would soon join the dinosaurs as extinct. Doesn't make much sense to me either, but there you go.

Really? Where did you hear that? I always assumed it was because of the life-size blue whale model in the NHM.

I can't really remember to be exact, but I read it here http://maxmagnusnorman.com/dinosaurs/blue-whale.shtml as well as some other places....

Hmmm...well, that's definitely just speculation on Max Magnus' part (what a name), but then I'm just speculating too.

An interesting variation on a rare figure...





Himmapaan

Weird, why is it that milky white colour? Do you have any ideas on its background? Reminds me of the banana Mamenchisaurus...

I kinda like it more than the default beetroot Lambeo....


Seijun

OMG, you own the famous yellow lambeosaurus!??

What a gorgeous piece. Is that your own Stoneage? I am completely jealous. I wonder if anyone has tried that with the Battats for instance.

No, I have all the figures but not the mountain.  I don't know of anyone who ever had the mountain, but it does proceed the Carnegie Mountain.  I just think it is something for wish list.



I have a newer style mountain if anyone is actually looking for one. They arrive pretty rough (needs painting) but work well for displays if you have the room (I currently do not, and intend to move fairly soon in the future).

Yellow Lambeosaurus! I dont know this figure. He is very cool  8).

Do you have a picture?

I don't have one handy--it looks like but it's blank

A couple more invicta variations.

The cream lambeosaurus weighed 90 grams compared to 62 for the maroon.

The slate gray megalosaurus weighs 92 compared to 58 for the green.

And a black brachiosaurus




Seijun

I love the black brachi. I know someone else who has one, as well as a black steg.

Pam, that isthe Brachiosaurus belonging to Jim, not me. But it is so cool I thought I would share it.

tyrantqueen

Where do you people get these models from? Some sort of secret Illuminati type organisation?
