Roselaar's All-new PB-free Collections Thread

[bmathison1972]

Well said. And I'm not at all ashamed to say I have most all of them, silly weapons and aliens included.

To me, Tyco and Invicta are really the two lines, pro Jurassic Park era, that were the big examples for other lines to live up to back in the earlier days of dinosaur model collecting.

I also fondly remember these poseable Chinasaurs, on an unrelated note :

I enjoy your daily posts, and love your appreciation for 'chinasaurs'. As an arthropod collector I have many, many 'chinabugs'. Sometimes there is an irresistible charm to them, even when they are inaccurate or have bad paint jobs (besides every now and then, unusual or rare species slip in there...)

Like the Camarasaurus, in the case of this particular Chinasaur line. Yeah, there's often more cool stuff found in Chinasaurs than people give them credit for.

More Dino Riders. Tyco really made some amazing stuff bakc in the day!

[Roselaar]

JPS2 re-releases of JPS1 basic dinosaurs. Now with Capture Gear! And duller collector cards.

[Roselaar]

Some delightful pop-up books, for a wide range of audiences as you may gather.

[Roselaar]

Just one small step above Chinasaurs: UKRD. Here's some minisaurs of their making:

[Roselaar]

Tyco's famous big boy, the majestic Brontosaurus. Still one of the largest and coolest dinosaur action figures ever. Hardly any aliens or weaponry in my case, alas.

[Lanthanotus]

Aww, I just bidded on one of those beauties but lost it. Impressive figure and a superb color scheme, especially when you consider the time of making.

The book "Great Dinosaurs" and then a Dimetrodon on the cover...

You've got two of them? Dang!

Ah, so you noticed that too...

And I only paid 30 euros for each of them, by some remarkable (and lucky) coincidence.

Another lucky find which also cost me a dream price was this bunch of Tanystropheus. Except for the European variant and loose sample among them. Which also were a good catch at a low price by today's standards.

Aww, thanks!

On to larger UKRDsaurs. Out of, but still with, their original boxes (at least the Dutch variant):

A further nice photo, you always collecting the different dinosaurs in herds, that looks super! I very much like the U.K.R.D. dinosaurs
and own some,too! My favorites are the Brontosaurus(?) and Parasaurolophus in your picture...and a very cool diorama background
in the selling boxes with the exploding vulcano...!

To your posting of the Tyco Brontosaurus, he was a holy grail in collecting dinosaurs for me for a long time and now I found one
for me via Internet yesterday,very cheap and in a top condition, my christmas gift for myself!

Congrats, it's one of the coolest dinosaur toys ever and I'm glad to hear fans can still get their hands on them these days. It will not disappoint you for sure!

Various classic and less classic dinosaur books:

Not nearly as awesome as the Tyco Brontosaurus but in the same size range, two more Sauropods:

Bunch of Lycaenopses, another wildly inspired move for an action figure on the JP Series 2 designer's team:

Some larger UKRD dinosaurs:

A whole herd of 'dem maraudin' Pachycephalosaurs come to see y'all:
