Look what came today! All the way from Germany too.

That's nice! Congrats.

I had a successful hunt in Toronto this weekend! Almost bought the Safari Camarasaurus too, but then I decided it was just going to take up too much space on the shelf. Need to restrict myself to small sauropod toys. I already have a CollectA Proceratosaurus, but I've been wanting one with a base. Will simply toss the old one in one of the kindergarten classes' dinosaur bins; it'll be well enjoyed. And Paulwin the Dakosaurus was waiting in the mailbox when I got back today.

Where do you get collecta in Toronto?

[suspsy]

At this place. Lots of Safari, Schleich, and Papo products there too!

Of course the dinosaur toy figures have evolved favorably since its inception until today. Now many of them resemble resin figures. I congratulate you on your new suspsy acquisitions. The woolly safari rhino together with the prestosuchus and allosaurus of Safari are three of my favorite prehistoric animals this year. Doug has done a good job.

Nice assortment. I see that your Dakosaurus also looks like it's been eating ice cream! - I had to retouch the paint app around the teeth on mine - I'd expect better quality control from PNSO. Hope that this is not a sign of a slip in their standards going forward.

They will probably update the paint scheme as they have done on some of their previous models.

Look how my latest acquisition stands safely on all four... Horns?!

[MLMjp]

@Libraraptor You made my day with that.

This is how young Diabloceratops males showed off for the females.

I finally managed to get some Invicta models on a low price 

[PlesiosaurusNessy]

@Libraraptor: I like this Diabloceratops very much, cool idea with this "Horn Circus", only the admiring Diabloceratops girls are missing now!

@DinoToyCollector: Wonderful find and haul, I am a great fan of Invicta, too, but unfortunately missing a few of them!

[Libraraptor]

Always nice to see someone appreciating and buying Invictas .

@Libraraptor
I wanted to buy some for a long time, but the prices are usually ridiculously high. Since you photographed the Schleich Diabloceratops in its proper pose, I'm considering adding it to my collection, even though its size does not fit my other figures...

To quote my father:
"Pretty expensive for a piece of plastic."
( he was specifically talking about the Lambeosaurus, when I showed him the prices on eBay after recieving mine in a cheap lot )
Yep, the prices have gone up in recent years.

My wife surprised me with these today.

Welcome to Jurassic Park. Surprised that there is no frilled version of those.
