Hello To All.
As obvious, I'm new here. I stumbled across this cool website while researching the new Papo: Allosaurus. What a wealth of info this website is plus a "blast from the past" on dinos that I used to collect (and still do)! Alittle about myself. I'm a recently retired military veteran who now has more time on my hands to devote to hobbies & interests. Those hobbies include Herpetology (Past & Present) and model building. I keep mainly turtles but just recently got a nice Red-Tail Boa. I've always loved dinosaurs and to this day, I still collect them. Many I gave to my daughter who liked them but is now a high schooler into animae. But I have my own personal collection which has everything from the Invicta dinos to the Papos (my now-favorites). I used to have many of those Marx and MPC dinos when I was a kid, but through the years, the nieces & nephews got those. I also mentioned that I build models. I mainly do military stuff but I also build sci-fi and prehistoric stuff as well. Anyways; I won't bore you any further. Just wanted to say Hello & what a great website this is.
Later Joseph

Welcome.
Here is something I've noticed around here--other than a lot of Papo love. A lot of herp keepers.
I wonder if there is a connection with keeping live reptiles and prehistoric models of them? Me, I keep a prehistoric fish (Polypterus palmas; I had others but they are on display at a museum now) but I used to keep geckos and tree frogs.
