Linde Figures

[Roselaar]

Am I glad I found a bunch of them - including the Rhamphorhynchus - for only 2 euros on a flea market. Would have been better even if the Ankylosaurus and T-Rex were also among them, instead of duplicates of the others. But I take whatever I can get (cheaply)!

So how rare is the Rhamph compared to the others exactly?

That was a lucky break Roselaar.

The Rhamphorynchus is quite scarce but does pop up every now and then. It's one of those figures that you tend to get outbid on with some frequency. I eventually bought a whole set in order to get the Rhamph for pretty much what it sells for on it's own! They can sell for between £15 - £30. I'm not sure why they're rarer than the other figures. As far as I know the figures were issued individually or in bagged sets (like the Linde wild animals), perhaps the Rhamph wasn't included in the bagged sets?

Thanks for the information. Reminds me I had better keep an eye out online for the Rex and Anky before they get overly expensive.

So many variations due to the marbling.

They also came in different colours, i've got a red stego.

They were reissued in the 1990's briefly to coincide with JP. That issue were in flat primary colours like MPC dinosaurs.

Cool, thanks for the info John.

Wow, the Lindes were a group I had kinda forgotten about, or more accurately always meant to get around to getting but they kept getting lost in the shuffle!

decided after reading some of these comments to hunt them up. Amazingly, 7 of the 8 were up for auction on eBay when I looked (how's THAT for coincidence?), snagged them all (guess which one was NOT for sale??).
Then contacted a good buddy collector and yep he had a Rhampho....so got the entire set in a little less than an hour.
I love eBay and the Internet!
