Thanks avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres

Today was a good mail day. Got quite a few items I've been waiting for a while.


Congrats on the book avatar_Fembrogon @Fembrogon, I didn't know about that one before.

Also, congrats to avatar_AcroSauroTaurus @AcroSauroTaurus for the Mattel bunch. That Explorer man, what a beauty. Shame Mattel made it Target Exclusive :/

Fembrogon

Another book arrival today - but this time it was a whole set!



I stumbled across a few listings for these books on eBay and was hit with a wave of nostalgia. I remember checking out these books from my library a lot as a kid; in fact, I think it was tis series which first introduced me to the genus Baryonyx. This particular set which I bought appears to be complete, so there are several I'd never seen before. I'm kind of excited to look through them all again, even if they're obviously below my reading level now.

avatar_Ikessauro @Ikessauro, it's nice to see someone else with an appreciation for the Dakin JP toys.

They are quite interesting, aren't they? With these two I finally completed my set.  ;D

avatar_Ikessauro @Ikessauro Great haul there. Some of my favorite Safari figures there, and obviously PNSO stuff is great too, along with some of the other goodies I spotted. I think this is the first time I've seen that Amargasaurus alongside some Safari figures. It's looking a bit smaller then I thought it was (which is what I would prefer from lack of space, if I could afford it anytime soon).

avatar_Fembrogon @Fembrogon Great bunch there. I used to love those as a kid. I think the Deinonychus and Spinosaurus (or was it Ouranosaurus?) ones I remember the most. I was also so confused why the Deinonychus looked so similar to the JP raptors as a kid but had a name difference.

They are, and trying to find the Dilophosaurus was one reason I joined this forum in the first place. I've since completed the set too.

Received a second batch of awesome BotM Ceratopsians! They are sooo gorgeous!  ^-^


CityRaptor

Nice haul, although the glow in the dark ones kinda look cheap...despite of course being quality products.

Got myself a certain cute, green baby from an original series airing on a streaming series. No, not Baby Yoda, I mean someone actually cute:

Found her in a store, meaning I paid actual retail price instead of scalper prices for her. Also got her Mini, as well as Mini Brachiosaurus and Mini Ceratosaurus.

Also got this:
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Libraraptor

Hey avatar_CityRaptor @CityRaptor is that Spektrum issue worth its price or is it rather  cheap digest in your opinion?

CityRaptor

It's a digest. So if you have all those issues the articles are from, you don't need it. Of course it is much cheaper than buying magazines where only one article may interest you, even if it takes longer till a new one is released. So it is up to you. Here are the themes:

I agree avatar_CityRaptor @CityRaptor, Bumpy is much cuter than baby Yoda, but my wife would disagree.

Nice haul there avatar_Ikessauro @Ikessauro .... but what`s that sauropod in front of the Youtube plaque and what`s that Youtube plaque for (i.e. which is the channel of yours, I assume?!) :)

Thanks avatar_Lanthanotus @Lanthanotus That is the plaque for my YouTube Channel indeed. The green sauropod is my first ever finished dino sculpture. I decided to play with some air drying clay and try to make a dinosaur. The result was this, what I intended to be an Austroposeidon.  ;D


Lanthanotus

Nice first try indeed avatar_Ikessauro @Ikessauro .... also congratulations on your Youtube Channel. To be sure, I do not speak a single word Portuguese, but the number of your amassed videos show a very thorough picture through a lot of brands of figures. Would have never believed, such a niche collection channel would count so many followers :)

Neither did I. When I started I would never have believe if someone had told me I could reach over 100k subscribers talking about my collection and Jurassic Park. I guess Brazil is a large country, so that helps.
