I got lucky and picked that one up off the shelf, had to call ahead, have them hold it and it was the only one I ever saw on a store shelf...that sucker was popular even then.

The most I've paid for a dinosaur toy was my Battat Diplodocus The toys I own that I suspect are worth the most would likely be the Battat Diplodocus, Acrocanthosaurus, NWT Maiasaura, NWT Euoplocephalus, and MIB Triceratops (maybe). As well as my Bullyland Mastodonsaurus even though it is quite scuffed. And my Kabaya "Seismosaurus," and perhaps several of my Kaiyodos, though I don't know

In after market terms, probably my WWD figures. I got them all as birthday presents, so I've no idea how much they cost originally. Most expensive I bought is either the CollectA deluxe Agustinia or the Toyway Diplodocus/Kentrosaurus pack, depending on how much Aus dollars are to pounds.

MOC JPS2 Gallimimus. The only dinosaur toy I really went all out on, because I needed one MOC to get that much closer to completing my JP collection. Won't make it a habit though...

If we're discounting Sideshows (probably sensible to do so ;D) and model kits, then my most expensive was the Battat Diplodocus.

In this case my most expensive figur is the Battat Triceratops which cost me USD $50.00.

Not too impressive - the JP2K9 T. rex for 50 GBP. I don't have a lot of money...
By the way, I found the Schleich Shonisaurus in a charity shop going for 1.99 GBP...slightly scuffed in places but good enough for display... ;D

I think the most I've ever paid for one figure was a MIB DinoRiders Warthog. After which, I opened it and threw all but the animal away.
As for most expensive, in terms of value of what I have...WwD Liopleurodon & Postosuchus? Invicta Troodon? Quick WwD set? Bully Deinotherium, Mastodonsaurus, etc? Maybe the various FaunaCasts figures I have, since they are incredibly limited?
Nope, I know--Malcolm Mlodoch/Fauna Casts museum-quality gar model (extra from a museum display). Not necessarily expensive to buy at the time, but it would be really expensive now...because it is the only one that isn't in a display!

tough call on this one, don't really have any that are worth a fortune. I have every Wild Safari replica made to date, so I mean I could see some of those gathering value as time goes by (juvenile T-rex comes to mind). As for most expensive I have ever bought, probably the newer of the carnegie diplodocus'

Most paid for??? maybe Bullyland Deinotherium followed by WWD Liop
Value? I'd say Deino, WWD Liop, Invicta Troodon, WWD Ophthalmo, Battat Maia, Kinto Amarga

The most expensive dino that I own is the Dinostoreus T-rex skeleton model witch retails for about $349.00 dollars u.s. But I got lucky and used a 40 percent off coupon!!!! The finished models were about $40 to $70 each. The most expensive figure that I can think of is the Safari Carnegie collection Brachiosaurus witch was around $40.
Then I dropped about $400 on the play school kota the triceratops four my daughter this Christmas.

My most paid for is the battat acro at $60. I almost paid $100 for it once!
Everything else in my collection (which does include quite a few really hard to find things!) have all been bought mostly for under $30.

The most I've ever paid was about $30 for the new Carnegie Diplo. My most valuable figures are probably my Battat Armargosaurus, Dilophosaurus (mini), Gallimimus (mini); Schleich Edmontonia; and WWD Utahraptor, Leallynasaura, and Postosuchus. By the way, I found the Schleich Shonisaurus in a charity shop going for 1.99 GBP...slightly scuffed in places but good enough for display... ;D Lucky!!!

Most paid for? Schleich Brachiosaurus & Papo T-rex, both around $40. Worth the most now? Probably Schleich Desmatosuchus, WWD Postosuchus, Iguanodon & Polacanthus & Aurora model kits.

Hmmm I would say the Battat Diplo... paid $100 for my second one ;D Others in my collections that could be worth a lot of $$ would be the WWD Liop, Bully Mastodon and Deinotherium, maybe some of the Starlux, and the of course the large Playvison prehistoric mammals set;D

Disregarding sideshow statues, resin kits, and custom pieces...I think the figure that cost me the most was the original JP bull t-rex, around $130 and that was about 4 years ago. yeah you paid too much for that. Even if it were in the original box Any of the JP trexes other than the JPs2 rex shouldn't go for much over $60.
