I was trying to get the whole Definitely Dinosaurs line and then I decided I would rather have the whole Carnegie Collection line. Also I bought a weird thing because it is weird.

The Pleurocystites is definitely very weird. One of the few animals in history to have no external symmetry whatsoever.

Word. I want to do a review of it but I can't find very much information on it at all. Google has not been much help.

This has some good information, if a bit technical. It includes some illustrations on page XXXIII https://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1215&context=igsar

I also got some new kicks.

You'll need the traction and endurance if you stick with the decision to track down Carnegie's entire line, with all of it's variants. But of course you'll know this, if you're familiar with Dinoguy 2's blog. It's certainly part of the draw - the thrill of the hunt.

"Very well, Father and son."
Snagged this mini battat gallimimus. It's only the second mini I own as I have been more focused on tracking down the full sized models. That being said, I may just have to start trying to get more of these minis, because they look great with their grown up counterparts.

It would have been interesting to see the result if Dan had been able to re-do this sculpt as a feathered version. Still, as a representative of its time (the 1990's), this was a fine version (not that there are too many anyways).

She was covered in coffee stains, but now looks great after a bath! Not bad for £15. Still don't have the monochrome version (yet), but I at least have the painted Apatosaurus as part of my Invicta herd!

Ikessauro · June 30, 2020, 01:19:42 AM

Finally got this one! Such an odd piece, had to have it.

This is still a beautifully elegant piece after all these years. Good price too!

Congrats! Still on my wishlist, too.

Look at these treasures that I got in a giant bundle of dinosaurs! Loads of other good stuff too, but these stuck out for me.

A quick photo before they get cleaned up.

Invicta Stegosaurus (green variant) and Inpro Plesiosaurus (by Toyway?)

awesome new acquisitions everyone, especially yours

@EmmaLVV

Two lovely new Safari beasties, one poor photographer:

Halichoeres · July 04, 2020, 04:54:01 PM

I'm not big on vintage figures generally, but that Invicta Apatosaurus is definitely eye-catching.

Mellow Stego · July 05, 2020, 05:27:53 AM

After 9 long months of delays, this gorgeous beast finally came in!

Damtoys Gigantspinosaurus

And for size comparison:

@Mellow Stego: What for a fantastic dino statue, it is looking really wonderful/amazing, I like him very much! Fantastic piece of dino art!

Ikessauro · July 05, 2020, 06:55:43 PM

Fantastic piece, love this Gigantspino. I didn't even know Damtoys had made one.Congrats on the acquisition

DinoToyCollector · July 07, 2020, 09:23:53 AM

Well, I think I overdid it the last 2 weeks. Bought smaller lots for small money to get 3 Invictas (I'm espacially happy about the Iguanodon) and made a bigger order for new Safari and Eofauna figures.
I'm also happy about the UKRD pieces and the Bullyland Batrachotomus, which I wasn't aware of while hunting. (Also got a Bullyland Rex, which I don't like). Not in the photo are the dozens of Cheapo-Saurs that came with these lots. Any idea of what to do with them?

Crackington · July 07, 2020, 01:41:38 PM

Take photos of them for the (hopefully) new unbranded section on the Dinosaur ToyCollector site then give them away to a charity shop or to a kindergarten? Assuming any are open....

Lovely! I really need more Hadros.
