Gorgeous photos,

@Carnoking. Congrats on Fergus! He has such a beautiful color scheme.

Halichoeres · June 14, 2022, 10:15:25 PM

Quite a haul,

@Faelrin! Seems your local stores are reasonably well stocked.

Thanks for the Acro photos,

@Carnoking. Waiting for Happy Hen to get it in stock before ordering one for myself.

A pair of quick phone snaps of my newly arrived Tuojiangosaurus, sculpted by Fredrick Alexander, purchased from Wild Past, painted and based by Martin Garratt. I'm impressed with the level of detail of the print - even some tiny osteoderms under the chin and on the neck are present. If any print lines were there, they are well disguised by the skin folds and paint.

What a pretty fellow,

@ceratopsian! Congratulations on your new acquisition!

JimoAi · June 16, 2022, 05:47:19 PM

And new really unique model is on the way from china

Congratulations on acquiring such an awesome piece. These Sideshow Dinosauria statues are becoming notoriously harder to come by. Especially the ones released more than a decade ago.

oh that does look stunning with that colour scheme from Garatt

Thanks

@Gothmog the Baryonyx. Martin did it full justice. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

EmperorDinobot · June 17, 2022, 11:06:51 PM

I may be jobless and in dire straits, but...

As a part of my therapy, I need to get out of this confinement once in a while, and not to go to the hospital, but to enjoy life. Of course, I enjoy life by purchasing dinosaur toys.

Rare

Rare now thanks to scalpers.

Not as rare as they will have you think.

Found this errant Safari Pteranodon at Michael's, and it was the last one, and one I didn't have so it came home with me.

Found this at the book store, and it had to be mine. These as well:

And I got these at the dedication of the Tualatin Library as an Ice Age Stop, which I will write about some time this week.

I also got these with my final paycheck

I just couldn't help it.

MLMjp · June 21, 2022, 01:42:57 PM

Bought a non-JW dinosaur two weeks ago:

But speaking about JW dinosaurs...I just rescued this one from a waste container.

It is in good condition, nothing is broken, and the action features still work so I don't understand why this was dumped.

I'll probably give it away, as I already have enough Mattel T.rexes, but I couldn´t help to save it from it´s fate.

Strepsodus · June 21, 2022, 01:56:09 PM

I got Safari's Daspletosaurus from eBay. I'm happy with the way it looks.

SidB · June 22, 2022, 02:31:10 AM

S @Strepsodus , yes, it's a quality release and along with the Baryonyx, kept Safari in the game last year, a very lean one for the company's dino line up.

Libraraptor · June 22, 2022, 07:11:50 AM

@MLMjp How great you saved this guy! I can´t understand why people throw away something like this. This is probably capitalism in its worst manifestation.

AcroSauroTaurus · June 23, 2022, 11:34:20 PM

Some fairly recent finds.
Jurassic World Dominion Therizinosaurus

Jurassic World Hammond Collection Parasaurolophus. Didn't intend on getting this one, but a friend ordered two by accident and gave the extra to me.

Jurassic World Dominion Roarin' Allosaurus

Carnoking · June 24, 2022, 12:32:03 AM

PNSO's Sinraptor "Xinchuan" in the house!

Dusty Wren · June 24, 2022, 04:27:03 PM

@Carnoking, the color scheme on the Sinraptor is really growing on me. It looks like it has golden undertones in some of your photos (especially the third one). Is that noticeable in person, or is that an artifact of the camera?

@MLMjp, good on you for rescuing the rex from the trash. I wonder why someone would toss it. I guess that's easier than finding somewhere to donate it, but it seems like the extra effort would be worth it for a perfectly good toy.

CityRaptor · June 24, 2022, 09:48:32 PM

Great hauls!
But seriously, why throw away a perfect condition Dinosaur?

Had an Amazon coupon, so I got myself these:

One of these is going into storage in case it might become useful....

Normally I don't collect cars, but I wanted small versions of the ones from Jurassic Park and since the Matchbox are not sold here, I brought these, here in comparism with a Mattel Mini Tyrannosaurus.

Honestly speaking, the QC on those Nano Rides could be better. And the packaging is ridicolously oversized.
