We have a Dino-Riders forum now? Coooool.

I only have the Dimetrodon. I got it for $2 at a collectibles fair. It lacks the weapons, but the good thing about Dino-Riders is that you've still got a cool dinosaur even if you lose the other bits. I think I'll go back to that fair when it's on next in case others appear.

I think maybe the reason we don't have that many good replicas of the carnotaurus is because the real creature appears to have been seriously fugly.

I used to own a lot of them (original set) but ended up selling most of them (and that was more than 10 years ago, I somewhat regret selling the big ones - Diplodocus, Tyrannosaurus, Torosaurus and Triceratops) and currently I only have Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Monoclonius, Styracosaurus, Deinonychus, Protoceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, Dimetrodon, and a few others which I can't remember at the moment...

You know I actually just picked up a loose (but never played with) Pachyrhinosaurus with no equipment or accessories a couple of weeks ago. I got it for $65 which is actually pretty cheap considering that boxed versions fetch hundreds on e-Bay. I ought to know seeing that I paid $400 for a boxed version (and that was about 10 years ago)! I guess it's true what they say - a sucker is born every day . . . ::)

The Pachy is pretty cool - even if it's not scientifically accurate. The head is somewhat smallish, especially next to the Dino-Riders Triceratops and Torosaurus but the color scheme and giant horn are over the top!

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.

Man I wish I could happened upon that deal...

I love the older style look of it...yeah the giant horn isn't likely... but it's pretty impressive...

I was a member on DR.com awhile back...that one art piece of mine.. the Bary/Sucho VS Carno was added to the gallery..made me pretty proud.

Yeah that was an awesome picture you made - very detailed.

I need to update the FanFare section. I haven't had the time as I have been focusing on overhauling the Toy section. I think you will enjoy it when it "launches."

I'm sorry, but...I keep hearing people give the thumbs up to these toys and I just have to say...I really hate these figures. They don't remind me of dino-riders at all. They make me think of that tv show called extreme dinosaurs or something with all the distorted proportions and whatnot. To me, Dino-Riders was special because of its attention to detail in terms of scientific accuracy. This new toyline is just...
