Recent Acquisitions

[Carnoking]

Back on my nonsense, This time it's the two new GR Toys offerings













Dicraeosaurus is a nice little figure, and the base is totally worth the extra 12 or so dollars. One annoyance is mine came with some paint wear right out of the box. At least it's not the side I'll be looking at most but it is irritating.





Sidenote, just as I had hoped, the base works with other figures.



Now onto the Carchar







A lot of color on this one, makes the Dicraeosaurus looks rudimentary in comparison. I don't know if the application is necessarily better on this figure than other high-end models now that I have it in hand, but there are certainly a lot of layers of paint which helps sell the look. Also, my luck was actually in on this one, the mouth closes pretty well.





There he is with the spino and boy does he make that thing look weak in comparison. I was actually planning on parting with that figure but I'm glad they're all here for a group shot now.

I scored big this week! ...Well, relatively speaking.



I've found a few eCrater shops with nice selections of vintage figures. They're pricier than buying in lots on eBay, of course; but they can be reliable if you're looking for that ONE figure you really want. I happened to be checking the shop where I had previously bought a couple of Sinclair recasts, and BEHOLD: there was the Brontosaurus, the last Sinlair I needed for my collection! I had some credit card rewards to help cover the price, and now I have all six dinosaurs accounted for in my Sinclair collection. My quest is now complete!

Congrats on your monochrome gem!

Congrats on completing your Sinclair set @Fembrogon, that Brontosaurus is a real beauty.

Guess I know what your next review will be.

Heh, in time; I have a few other items I want to finish first, including the other Sinclairs. I might save this Bronto for a special ()th review.

@Carnoking congrats on your new purchases, that Dicraeosaurus is a beauty, and so is the Carcharodontosaurus, possible one of my favourite figures. It dwarfs any other figure next to it, even any others from PNSO. That paint is incredible, and mine also closes its mouth pretty well. And stands perfectly without a base.

@Mellow Stego Congrats, too! I love the color in this one ...

@Fembrogon Whoa, that's a nice catch! The famous Sinclair brontosaurus in its iconic green (I wonder if it was made in other colors .... well, I'll wait for your review to know, hehe). I got the oportunity to buy the complete set, because for me it's very difficult and expensive to purchase them one by one overseas. I'm very happy you have completed your collection, because you were the "culprit" I felt in love with them ...
Go monochromes!

Yes, a great figure for certain, though not everybody's on board with it. Certainly good enough and more than that, with me. The GR is awesome, but I don't feel the need to acquire it for the $. This one more than meets my need for the genus, while being more affordable, a good thing. Top value.

[Lanthanotus]

Impressive piece @Die_Maulquappe

That Sinclair Brontosaurus is a real cutie @Fembrogon , would like to have that in my collection too. The head sculpt is very charismatic. Hard to believe they are so pricey nowadays when they were mass produced and free giveaways in the 50`s/60`s if I followed J @japfeif `s book correctly.

Excellent!! Congrats on completing your Sinclair World's Fair collection!!   

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

@Fembrogon Congratulations on completing your set! I don't know how I overlooked these Sinclair dinosaurs for so long. It just so happens that I have all six of them coming my way right now.

You are very lucky too! Just before they get rare and expensive.

[Shonisaurus]

@sauroid My compliments on that PNSO carcharodontosaurus, I really like that theropod without the lips.

@AcroSauroTaurus  My congratulations on your new figures JP / JW dinosaurs are very successful.

A nice big box from @Everything_Dinosaur arrived today. Will open on Friday probably, unless something at work annoys me during the week and I need to cheer myself up.

Have fun unpacking, we think you are going to love the contents.
