What is your luckiest toy find

[Neosodon]

I got the small Safari Protoceratops for free while helping to clean up a rummage sale. I was to lazy to upload my own picture so it's the brown one on the left.

[Lanthanotus]

Very nice figure, didn't know of its existence until now

Got the OG Battat Rex and the JP Demon Carnotaurus for a total of 1.50 at a flea market.  It was a good day.

I'll say! You can't really get much luckier than that! Unless the Demon came with both dino damage skin patch and capture gear.

There's a comic shop here in Sydney that mostly sells junk, like old McDonalds toys, but it used to maintain a second hand dinosaur section, and that's where I found the Carnegie Deinonychus trio and the Tyco Styracosaurus.

[...] Carnegie Deinonychus trio [...]

Nice, I found that one too just a bit ago within a lot of other Carnegies and for a very nice price. Despite their "ugliness" I like the Deinonychus and Protoceratops on nest dioramas, but both are incredibly hard to find in Europe.

is the Tyco Dino riders Deinonychus rare and valuable?

Not really. Heck, Tyco even released two versions of it in its first DR line, then re-released one (or perhaps both) for the Smithsonian series. I think it's actually one of the least rare DR figures, like most of Series.

thanks. so which is the most scarce of the DR figures?

Series 3 Pachyrhinosaurus, I'm pretty sure. Or the mailaway Pterodactyl.

BTW, is this a good time to tell you about that time I found a DR Brontosaurus for only 30 euros? And again the year after? No gear though, too bad...

[LeapingLaelaps]

As of this morning I got a retired Carnegie Diplodocus on Ebay for $49 (usually goes for $240+ on Amazon)

Gg. I had my eye on the same prize.

I'm pretty sure they're hard to find here in Australia too. Carnegie/WS were never common here and no physical stores stock them in this city.

[Shonisaurus]

Although I mentioned in another message the figure that I was very lucky to find was in the ankylosaurus of Bullyland, it came from this figure (perhaps the best preserved for my fortune since they were used dinosaurs), the tyrannosaurus rex (first edition Of the Schleich Humbold Museum) and the allosaurus (Bullyland version) all discontinued.

Obviously I was interested in ankylosaurus as it was the only prehistoric animal figure of Bullyland that I lacked apart from the exclusive figures of Bullyland (protochirotherium, spinophorosaurus and procynosuchus) all found thanks to Dansdinosaurs, Dejankins and ebay of Slovenia respectively and apart from that All new. It cost me this figure along with the other discontinued at a ridiculous price just over 36 euros. I arrived in a matter of days I did not have to wait nor a week I came with the DHL courier service (also I must say the German vendor was on eBay excellent and I suppose a person wanted to get rid of those figures.

Now I have this figure on my shelves and the other two discontinued figures I already had I gave them to my nephews grandchildren. I can state as I already said that it was one of my purchases and finds in which he was very lucky.

In fact such a figure the Bullyland ankylosaurus is almost impossible to find today. 

[Lanthanotus]

Nice find Shonisaurus ,...

.. indeed it is. I got mine from a lot together with the Bullyland Edaphosaurus amongst other discontinued Bullylands, all with tag and for a BIN of just 20 Euro. But it turns up on ebay just as often (or better to say seldom) as the Bullyland Edaphosaurus itself. Weird when you think of it being discontinued just since 2011.

[Appalachiosaurus]

I got a working TLW Bull T. rex for $5 at a garage sale, I know JP Toys aren't as celebrated here but i'm still kind of in shock about that even after the two or so years i've had it.

[Daspletotyrannus]

I am few months ago I found my Battat mini Utahraptor that I lost while cleaning my grandpa's patio. I thought I didn't own it until I found it. It was lost for like 10 years. The paint still looks good too, maybe slightly faded. I can't really tell. This maybe don't fit for this topic but it was a luckiest toy find. Lol

I think that's pretty lucky!

[Archosauria]

My luckiest find would most likely be a Carnegie Smilodon and Protoceratops that someone on Facebook sold to me for $5.

[Flaffy]

Managed to secure a full set of PV prehistoric marine reptiles for under $40USD.
It's not a small price tag by any means, but its still a good deal for such rare figures.
How much did the last full set sell for anyways?
