Should I get the collectA brachiosaurus or the wild safari one? |

Safari--or wait for the Carnegie.

Recent grabs from Japan. Problem is the consolidated delivery to Spain One day I will receive them...... These kind of figures is what I want to consider as the core of my collection.

Judging from the lots, those look to be from familiar sellers--did the Guanlong also come from one of those same sellers? I ask because a number of them have appeared as acquisitions here recently, and I have yet to hunt one down! It's like my last Dino Expo target!

Wow! Yes, great and beautiful haul, Icamiro! I especially love the Kabaya Dinoworld sets. I'm really loving that Seismo (or Super) and the Plesio. Hmm, the Archaeopteryx looks really nicely painted too. They all look great!

Thanks! 
I don't know...do you think I'd be allowed to?
I guess that's one of the downsides to Internet shopping. *shrug* |

It never hurts to ask.

Tyrantqueen: the paint job on yours does seem unusually sloppy (you're welcome to check out mine - I used it in the review!). Might be worth asking.

I finally got around to getting a few of the newer Carnegie dinos:

I wonder if I could end it all in a sentence |

Today i received a Asylum miniatures Kentrosaurus.
![[image] [image]](http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc400/GarryDinoman/001-3.jpg)
but its actually the CollectA Kentrosaur that's repackaged by another company
![[image] [image]](http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc400/GarryDinoman/011-3.jpg)
![[image] [image]](http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc400/GarryDinoman/016-9.jpg) "run free from your cell in the asylum, and join your Procon brothers!!!"
BTW he is also made out of the softer fixable plastic, are all CollectA Kentros like this? or is it unique to my Asylum one?

I don't own the CollectA kentro but, I have seen and felt them at the place I get my collectas, it is a softer plastic, almost rubbery

MY RECENT MEGA-HAUL:
![[image] [image]](http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb450/SimonFoxx/P1270626.jpg)
4 of the "DIoramasaurus" figures from 2001. Bases are missing but that can be reconstructed with a little putty.
![[image] [image]](http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb450/SimonFoxx/P1270628.jpg)
Need I say more? 2009 and 2010 Dino Expo figures of TRex, Guanlong and the prize of prizes, Gigantoraptor.
![[image] [image]](http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb450/SimonFoxx/P1270630.jpg)
![[image] [image]](http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb450/SimonFoxx/P1270631.jpg)
The Sega Shinzen Red TRex, about 22" long down the spinal column.
The Gigantoraptor and this TRex are "grail" figures to me that I have been looking for since 2009 and 2007, respectively.
