So Playmates did a series of Dinosaur King figures, releasing them in packs of 2 and 4 figures, each type coming with cards. I liked the look of them, but I could never bring myself to pay the insane price of $12 for two small plastic dinosaurs and a trading card.
Then today I found a dollar store, where they were selling some 2-packs for $3 each. It was such a bargain compared to everywhere else that I snagged one. It had Saurolophus and Carcharadontosaurus, with a Spinosaurus card in it. They're both rather nice figures, the Saurolophus especially.
What amuses me is the card. The cards in the packs are apparently exclusives which get powerups if you place the corresponding figure on them. However, the card I got is not of any of the dinosaurs in the pack! Hahaha oh wow.

I won this Safari lot on Ebay recently, for only 9.99 USD: Just the Battat Amargasaurus in the middle is worth at least twice as much Even if I add up the $22 shipping cost to Spain, it is still a Bargain. Just the potential value of the amarga itself may cover the whole thing....

Just the potential value of the amarga itself may cover the whole thing.... Lucky you! I saw this lot on ebay... I wish I had money to get it now. If the auction had last 2 more days I would bid on. I got a Battat Utahraptor this way, only 9.99 including a Carnegie Smilodon, some Invictas and some cheap chinasaurs... I love to find a bargain and win it... Who doesn't?

Yep, that's how I got a Battat Trike, Stego, & 2 Carnegie Allos & 1 Stego (I traded the latter 3 for a MIB Battat Pachy later) for $40. I also got around half of my JP stuff, including the TLW & CE Thrashers, for $50. And a Kaiyodo Siamotyrannus for $3.

The first of my ordered stuff has arrived! Thanks to DeJankins, I now have a Spinophorosaurus. Yeah, it's ugly, but it's unique and I doubt we'll see another one. It's also really small! And as for the strange pattern on the skin--there is only one other figure I can think of with the same patterning--the upcoming Mojo Brachiosaurus (it appears to have the same mud-crack appearance from the photo).
I also got a WS Leptoceratops--figured I might as well while I can, didn't cost much more to post the two together!

He created the models in some computer program and printed them out in 3d using Shapeways. You can probably get them on there.
