Your 2017 prehistoric shopping list

[Cloud the Dinosaur King]

I already got the Safari Ltd. Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, and Giganotosaurus, but I still want the Diplodocus, Kronosaurus, and Tylosaurus. From Collecta I want the Styracosaurus, Gigantspinosaurus, Kronosaurus, Dimorphodon, Deinocheirus, and the Regaliceratops. From Papo I wand the Cryolophosaurus(it looks like the larger male Cryolophosaurus from Dinosaur Revolution), the Acrocanthosaurus, the Dimorphodon, and the Ceratosaurus.

Did anybody else's shopping list just grow by one Favorite Archaeopteryx?

..it's me.. 

[Mirroraptor]

PAPO:Ceratosaurus, Dimorphodon, Cryolophosaurus.
Safari Ltd.:Quetzalcoatlus and feathered T.rex.
Favorite:Archaeopteryx and swimming Spinosaurus.
Chronicle Legacy:Stegosaurus and Procompsognathus.
Sideshow collectibles:last year's Ceratosaurus.(Should I buy the Gastornia?)
Maybe some kit, like Sean Cooper's Deinonychus.

[CrypticPrism]

Collecta: I'm definitely getting the giganspinosaurus, the others are kinda.....meh. I'm getting a lot of 2016 and 2015 figures for my birthday, though. (Feathered rex, daeodon, acrocanthosaurus, cacharadontosaurus, thalassomedon, torvosaurus, hunting rex, and the deluxe spino.)

Safari: Everything but the tylosaurus.

Schleich: Schleich is just trash for me now. I'm selling all my old ones.

Papo: all of the (new sclupt)Mesozoic animals, on the fence about the polacanthus, though.

Favorite: maybe the archaeopteryx.

Bullyland: Why did this have to happen? It was just starting to get good!

[Brontozaurus]

Well, I already got the WS Krono, the CollectA Krono and Gigantspinosaurus, and the WS feathered Velociraptor is on its way. Which leaves:

WS: I need that feathered Rex, plus Coelophysis. Thinking about Giganotosaurus but the Carnegie one is so great anyway.

CollectA: Definitely the Dimorphodon and the sea tube. Been tossing up on the ceratopsians and Excalibosaurus but I'll probably go nuts one day and order all of them (plus Mercuriceratops which I didn't get) from minizoo.

Schleich: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAno.

Papo: Not really a papo fan but their theropods look cool this year.

And between all the 2017 releases I'll pick up older models here and there.

Beasts of the Mesozoic: Went overboard last year so I've got Tsaagan, Balaur, Dromaeosaurus, FC Pyroraptor, the desert pack, and the amber nestlings ordered. If I like them enough I'll chuck more money at the next series because dear god I need a Centrosaurus toy.

Yes, I definitely want it. Hope it'll be available in Europe too later in the year.

Since I only just started getting serious with collecting I've been going through all kinds of toy companies and making lists of what I want from them, so these are more than just 2017 models

Southlands Replicas: 2
Mojo: 8
CollectA: 63 (3 Mini animal collections, 33 Standard sized figures and 27 Deluxe figures)
Papo: 34
Safari LTD: 57 (3 TOOBS, 15 Carnegie, 39 Dinos and Prehistoric)
Schleich: 25 (8 Dinosaurs 2012, 8 Dinosaurs 2016, 4 Replica Saurus, 5 Prehistoric Mammals)
Beasts of the Mesozoic: 22 (All the Raptors, Accessory Packs and Nestlings)

So if my calculations are correct that's 211 figures (not including the individual ones from the TOOBS or Mini collections)

Oh boy

..well, that isn't a shopping list: it's a medium-sized collection..

[Jose S.M.]

It's actually more than what I have now in total lol.

[LeapingLaelaps]

Yeaaah my wallet is not prepared for this but I'll sure try

You are making a collection of dinosaurs in a big way. At this stage you will have one of the largest collections in the world based on checkbook. 211 figures cost a capital, my greatest desire is that you enjoy them

[Halichoeres]

My shopping list when I joined the forum about two years ago was very similar!

[BlueKrono]

The number of CollectA figures I want is obscene, as are the shipping costs from either of the two countries that sell them.

So true. I've got a huge list just waiting for that long anticipated day when collecta ships its models to the U.S.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I'm glad I'm not interested in CollectA figures; it's hard enough finding Bullyland in the states after they stopped distributing here.

eBay is your friend when you collect CollectAs.

That's how I've procured the ones I have, like my beloved Ichthyovenator. It's mostly the newer ones I'm lacking, but I tend to focus on older figures in my acquisition priorities anyway.

[RobinGoodfellow]

Is there any UK or German DTF member helping US friends to find Collectas at reasonable prices ?
I'd be happy to help but shipping price from my Country to US is quite high... 

[BlueKrono]

I thought shopping from the UK or Australia to the US was always expensive, regardless of whether it's a company or a private individual.
