Recent Acquisitions

[Faelrin]

Probably the last one from me for a while, but my stuff from a pal in Germany (on reddit) came today. I got the Lockwood Ultimate Battle Set, the Attack Pack Dilophosaurus, and Maisie.





This just leaves a few more things from 2018 I still want (the Destruct-A-Saurs Velociraptor and Microceratus set, which @stargatedalek is helping me out with, the STEM Pteranodon set, which I can get cheap on Amazon any day now, maybe some others), and then I'll be completely caught up, until the wave 2 Dino Rivals Stuff hits stores near me.

@Faelrin congratulations on getting the Lockwood set!

@Faelrin congratulations on getting the Lockwood set!

Thanks. This set is definitely one of the highlight's of my collection now, and will not be coming out of the packaging (as tempting as it is to try out the features it has, but well it looks great in the package anyways, and I have my previous figures to mess around with as needed). The other additions are good too, and I'm glad to finally have them as well, especially since I had little to no luck of ever finding them here.

[CityRaptor]

Yep, the Lockwood set is one of those things I'll keep in package. It's kinda funny how this set is so rare and  Maisie Lockwood is not exactly common either, but Lockwood Battle Owen is so common.

Some JW additions of my own:

Blue, Rexy & Stegosaurus erasers
Mini Action Dinos Metriacanthosaurus & Carnotaurus

[Roselaar]

Congrats Faelrin! Love those JW figures.

There's Maisies in Germany...?

[CityRaptor]

Very rare however. I only ever saw two total ( in different stores ), one of them I brought. Current human selection is mainly Lockwood Battle Owen ( most common ), Dinosaur Trainer Owen ( who for sure is not living up to his name ) and Wheatley. Sometimes a Claire or Mercenary.

[Faelrin]

Congrats Faelrin! Love those JW figures.

There's Maisies in Germany...?

I guess there are. I think he said he got them (Maisie and the Attack Pack Dilophosaurus) from Toys R Us there. In any case I am more then glad to have them after all this time. It did cost me about $100 total for everything including shipping. I've also been helping him with getting things he has not had access too (for retail + tax price + shipping). In total I've helped him get Legacy Collection Ellie, and the green T. rex family pack, the Dino Rivals Attack Pack Dracorex, the Battle Damage Pteranodon, and just recently I picked up a Muldoon that I know he said he still needed (that I was surprised to find this late in the game at a Target in Massachusetts), and I will be holding that until I can find a Coelurus and green Herrerasaurus for him, before shipping it. All this started from me posting about that Legacy Ellie I found at Walmart a bit ago, if I recall correctly.

NANMU berserker rex came in today. He came with a little John Hammond figure.

[Shonisaurus]

I congratulate you on your new acquisition the indominus of Nanmu Studio is beautiful.

[Josesaurus rex]

Found these gems in a local toy shop, a pity that they didn't know their value and shoved the battats in with other cheap chinasaurs, resulting in paint scuffs here and there. Fortunately I got a very good deal for them.
Considering selling (or trading) the extras. (not pictured: extra snow-shoe rex,warped legs; maiasaura)

Congrats friend. A great luck had to meet all those battats in a store, he could save a lot on whether he had bought them individually. A while ago something similar happened to me, but with a publication on eBay, which had enough Battat that I was missing and the price of the auction was not so high compared to the number of figures included. I posted it at the beginning of this thread, on page 7, in case you want to take a look. Greetings.

Latest haul from my local go-to dino-store:

[Shonisaurus]

Nice collection, the animantarx of Schleich makes very group with Safari 2019 dinosaurs competes in genius.

[MLMjp]

My first Dino rivals figure, Parasaurolophus!

[Loon]

Congrats on that Para, @MLMjp, it's a beautiful figure.

Speaking of Dino Rivals, was absolutely shocked to find these beauties yesterday.


Also, I guess this is related, I got a new shelf for my Mattel figures. Well, most of them, at least.

[MLMjp]

@Loon thank you! And beautiful display.

[Faelrin]

@Loon What a fantastic display you got there. Congrats with finding the Dimetrodon and Tapejara so soon too.

@MLMjp Congrats with getting the Parasaurolophus too.

[Fembrogon]

I have three new hauls to share.

I was enjoying a free day at the Field Museum on Thursday, so I splurged a little on some (likely overpriced) items. The Sue Store isn't what it used to be, but they still have some decent goods.



That evening I came home to find these guys delivered. I had been browsing eBay on a whim last week, and found these Invictas selling as a set for $48.50, free shipping. It seemed like a good price, so I didn't resist. They're splendid to hold in person!



Finally, these three arrived today from Everything Dinosaur; I actually purchased these first of all, but they took a little longer to arrive. I'm wayyyyy behind on CollectA - um - collecting. The Carcharodontosaurus, in particular, I've had my eye on ever since it was announced. Even acknowledging its issues, I think it's very cool.

[Minmiminime]

Very nice! The Invictas look like they're in beautiful condition, and I've got a strange soft spot for that Carcharodontosaurus too Good haul!

[Shonisaurus]

I'm glad for you. The Invicta dinosaurs bring me good examples of my youth. On the other hand the daxiatitan, carcharodontosaurus and mosasaurus of Collecta are like most of the figures of this exceptionally good company.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

What a great selection, congrats. Those Invicta are spotless, and everything else is great too, strange to think that the Daxiatitan isn't a deluxe figure though, when you see it next to deluxe figures.
