Price of Rare Figures on the Web

[RobinGoodfellow]

A rare "Oldies" sold for 107£ + shipping ( 138 USD): not cheap but also quite reasonable..

What's a Battat Snowshoe Rex go for these days?  I saw one a while back going for $75 (BIN) that quickly disappeared, and I know they've gone for higher previously.  How rare are they, and what would a decent one go for?

The products even the resin or PVC figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals if they are rare become very expensive. It is like comparing the price of gold or of a precious stone they are expensive because they are rare and metaphorically rare the dinosaurs of Battat, Play Visions, Favorite (resin dinosaurs) become very expensive due to the shortage of the product.

I think this is the reason.

I acquired a v. 2 (snowshoe) for about $140 in mint condition about a couple of years ago; the v. 3 ( same as the Terra version, but different paint job) at about the same time for $75 and another this year for $3.99 at Value Village!

By the way, for only $ 3.99 a Tyrannosaurus rex from Battat? That is a bargain. I am happy for you to me my tyrannosaurus with snowshoe feet cost me for a pretty high price.

I paid 30 for a lot which included the rex.

Two days ago an Invicta Lambeosaurus was sold for GBP 205 (Euro 239/ USD 270) with 28 bids on Ebay ...

And to think that I bought it in its day for three hundred pesetas along with the baryonyx of Invicta, (I do not know exactly how much it will now be in euros) I think that price is disproportionate.

[BrontoScorpio]

I think it's the best made of all Invicta's -
also the most detailed and expressionable.
Of course it is the rarest.
I think someone just got too eager ...
so I congratulate our DTF member seller.

I have a herd of 3 - mayble I'll trade the two spares ...

[CityRaptor]

And to think that I got mine for 1 Euro ( and 4 Euros shopping ), alongside the Stegosaurus and the Carnegie Protoceratops ( and some bycatch ) a few years ago.

lol I just stuck a picture of mine on today, I think I got the whole set too, except for the troodon which I didnt want at the time as it was a different scale, blimey what would my whole collection be worth.

Years ago lots of now-rare figures were more common.
And lots of figures that are common now will be rare in some years.
Years ago I bought lots of models now hard to find.
Nothing new...

Just out of curiosity how much costs today a Play Vision prehistoric mammal?

Last auctions I saw:

[Shonisaurus]

Fortunately these two figures I have thanks to UK but I bid for both auctions shown, are rare figures mammals (uintatherium and andrewsarchus) of Play Visions, but more rare are the palorchestes and the smilodon of Play Visions (large size). Those two are two impossible grail saints (at least for me to find).

[stegosauria]

If Play Visions' prices can get that high then I am more perplexed why nobody else noticed this auction from the same seller as the Invicta Lambeosaurus.

[Shonisaurus]

S @stegosauria Although it is a fabulously low price for a Play Visions mammal I get the impression that it is uintatherium Play Visions small model. That is one of the reasons why the price is low, even so it is usually much more expensive an individual figure of prehistoric mammal or prehistoric amphibian of the Play Visions brand.

That figure was from the "mini" set:



It's rare too but it's even less requested by collectors...

[Shonisaurus]

Who could get the palorchestes and smilodon in big size! They are two of my most sought after pieces, but I doubt I will find them one day.

[CityRaptor]

Check out this Kleinwelka Iguanodon:

I wonder how much the two ones currently on eBay will go for, especially the blue one...

Not your usual dinosaur toy, but that's expensive, too:
