But my all collection can easily be viewed on Flickr.
You can find info about a figure just clicking on pictures you're interested.
To help collectors, on Flickr you can find my collection classified by:

Thanks! BTW, thanks also for the tip about clicking on the photo. Hadn't tried that. Great resource. It bugs me at times when people post great stuff on this forum (I've been lurking for a while) and don't identify the maker.

I would say check out my sauropod three ( March of the Titans), but many don't have name since it would take too long for me ;D But it would give you a pretty good idea of size comparison on many of the figures.
I would suggest the SEGA Amargasaurus if you can find it, its a beautiful figure!
Cheers!

Wow, you're right. That's a beauty. On the list it goes. Thanks!

Thanks to whoever recommended DeJankins to me. Just got a box-full of dinos at a great price. Highly recommend this guy! Now I'm going to move a bunch of names from my "want" list to my "got" list.

i just started recollecting dinosaurs once more. my love for sauropods especially brachiosaurs is dominating over other dinos.
just got the carnegie brach above. love it but i want bigger brachiosaurs! maybe i will get the tamiya brach.
goodluck getting all the sauropods in your want list!

billharrison

I'm having fun with this. When I first posted this list about a month ago, I had eleven sauropods and there were twelve more on my want list. I now have 22, and my want list has 21 more. I'm spending my money like a drunken sailor and there are more great dinos to tempt me every time I turn around. Maybe the DTF needs a support group for people addicted to buying dinosaurs. I clearly am!

I have the same problem! I think the entire forum is our support group.

The Thunder Beasts Apatosaurus is a charming old school rendition of the dinosaur. The coloration and style is awesome!



and yeah..... Dinosaur toys are sickeningly addictive :3
I'm seeking Orsenigo and other interesting vintage dinosaurs. Contact me if you can help with my search!

You might want to next time. Sometimes foreign sellers will make an exception if you can assure them you'll be good for it. And some of them simply had it set as that for no reason, and would be happy to ship it international.

Knocked another one off my list; the painted Invicta Brachiosaurus. Just got this one from eBay UK... for $9.00.


billharrison

Still looking for a painted Invicta Cetiosaurus, Diplodocus and Apatosaurus.

BlueKrono

Are you also paying somewhere on the order of $15-20 for shipping?

We'll see. A contact in the UK is holding them for me while I continue my buying spree and then will send them over all in one package when I'm exhausted. I doubt they'll add up to multiples of $15-$20 per item when they're all grouped.

Okay, so on Feb 6, I took this pic and posted it elsewhere on this site. This was my Big Sauropod collection as of that day:


Now here it is fifteen days later, and here's what I have today:


And I have at least six more on the way, already purchased. I say "at least" because I've pretty much lost track I've what I've bought. I think I need help.
