Yay, I'm glad to see a revival of this thread, I missed it!
Wow, what an amazing room and display you have going there. Amazing how much the collection have grown.
When you have the time, maybe a closer pics of the individual shelf. I would love to see closer pics of those amazing sauropods! ^-^

Thanks Boki, I sure will post more pics. This coming from you  means a lot, when I first started on the DTF your collection pictures were always an inspiration and some of my first  name brand quality toys actually came from you, when we traded back in 2008. I'm not sure if you remember that, but I still have those Safari dinos and prehistoric mammals!

That is quite simply a beautiful and extremely impressive collection. A true mix of everything dinosaur. Brilliant!

Thanks, glad you like it! More photos soon.

Yes, I do remember that time, gosh, so long ago it seems! :)) Its great to see some veterans still active in the forum, miss those days :)
Glad you still have those figures, and I still have mine, I believe there were some Salvats I got from you.
And now look at your collection! It's so huge and impressive! You must have one of the largest and most awesome collection in the forum!
Looking forward to updates! :D

I Finally made a new youtube Channel in English, to post some updates from my collection and maybe reviews in the future.

  What a huge collection! Thanks for showing it. I recognise some of those big AAA figures :) .
  I'd like to see individual photos of the Brazilian models by Ademar Pereira do Nascimento.
  I have always loved his individual style and it is sad to read he's not offering them anymore. I'm glad I got a few with your help though ;) .

I greatly enjoyed this tour of your collection while eating my breakfast this morning - good start to the day!  You have a wonderful collection.  I really liked the little cabinet in which you display your toob figures - it's perfect for showing them.

Like avatar_postsaurischian @postsaurischian, I would like to see more of your models by Ademar Pereira do Nascimento.  What a shame he isn't making them anymore - I would have liked one!

What is the spotted animal lying down next to the Battat Diplodocus?  I just caught a glimpse and didn't recognise what brand it is/who the artist is.

As for video length - I don't mind really.  Just happy to see people's things.

I wouldn't worry too much about English pronunciation.  I bet you could get different versions of how to say e.g. Jobaria from different native English speakers!  I call AAA "Triple A" - but I have no idea if that is right or not.  I've never heard anyone actually say it, only seen it written down as "AAA".

What an impressive collection and what a nice youtube review.

Your Brazilian dinos are perticularly interesting.

Who painted the Creative Beasts ( David silva ) Dilophosaurus so nicely - you ?

Your updated thread reminds me also it is time for me to finally take the time and display my collection as well ( soon ).

Thanks avatar_postsaurischian @postsaurischian ! Yep, there's plenty in my collection I have thanks to your help. As always I really appreciate it! I'll post more of the Ademar pieces soon. I too think it's sad he stopped producing the models, they were pretty good and quite affordable.

Thank you avatar_ceratopsian @ceratopsian It's good to know you liked the video. Regarding pronunciation, I too never heard most of the brands or dinosaur names spoken in real life. I am so used to see them in writing I kinda surprised myself when I realized I didn't know how to say it.   :))

The spotted animal next to the Diplodocus is a Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus mother with two babies, a sculpture by Brazilian artist Guilherme Bilinski. I'll try to post a pic of it.

EDIT: Here's my review of the Parasaurolophus, it's in Portuguese on my Brazilian Channel. I was going to post a picture here, but the site I upload my pics (imgur) doesn't seem to be working today, upload always fails.

Finally found some time to watch this. Man, you have an amazing collection! Do you know how much pieces you have approximately? I really liked your little treasures :D
It's interesting for me hearing you pronouncing the dinosaurs in english. In German dinosaurs sound different again in spoken language  ;) So, there's nothing to worry about.

Thanks avatar_DinoToyCollector @DinoToyCollector! Yeah, in Brazilian Portuguese most dinosaur names also sound different in spoken language. I'll just try to have fun making the videos and will not worry about it. As far as how many pieces I have, last time I lost count at 1390 or so. I think since then I might have bought at least two hundred more, so I am guesstimating around 1500 figures.

Sorry for asking but is the guy is still selling this piece. It's so beautiful!

Halichoeres

That's a great collection, with many unusual treasures! I appreciate the video tour.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Thanks for the video link. What a beautiful model you have there!  I find tranquil dinosaur scenes very appealing. This Parasaurolophus ticks all the boxes for me.

Although I didnĀ“t understand anything, I like the video and of course the diorama very much!

There's nothing to be sorry about. Glad to help. But, in this case, unfortunately, Guilherme is not producing the model anymore. He usually produces limited runs of each dinosaur before going ahead to a new sculpt. His latest is a Stegosaurus, which I still haven't received. He's finishing them. Usually his production runs are of about 30 to 60 pieces, so they sell out quickly. He sells to overseas collectors too, so if you like you can contact him on Facebook in his Facebook page "Guilherme Bilisnki Art" https://www.facebook.com/GuilhermeBilinskiArt/ or via Instagram.

I will keep an eye on him in the future.

That's something you can feel while watching your video!

I have no real words for this. It's just amazing!

I'll try to post all Planeta de Agostini dinosaurs, in alphabetical order. Alongside the picture of the toy you can see the paleo art on which it was based on.
