Just waving a hand to you fellow dino and megafauna collectors and aficionados. I've been collecting, illustrating and musing upon dinosaurs for the last half-century (meaning my whole life).
Don't know if this means anything to you guys, but I actually attended the Sinclair Dinoland Exhibit at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair as a little kid, which is where I acquired both of my complete sets of Mold-A-Rama dinos.
Lot of people have these dinosaurs, but not many can claim they actually ATTENDED the exhibit.
Anyway, glad to be here now, let me know if you want to sell anything, I'm usually in the market. Gracias!

Hello Charles! ;D You're from the US then I presume? Yes, I'm in North Carolina presently, residing in the Great Smoky Mountains. Regarding the Sinclair Dinoland, you probably know this legendary exhibit premiered at the 64-65 New York World's Fair, where I attended; but the exhibit continued touring the USA for a few years thereafter, making the now-rather-rare Mold-A-Rama dino collection available broadly across the nation. The only problem was, the Mold-A-Rama products were so incredibly fragile, not many survive to the present. |

Hello and welcome!  Fantastic to know about your Mold-A-Rama dinos and exhibition visit. But Mr Miller, to point something out in your thread title; there are dino girls too, as you surely must be aware.  ;D |

I don't believe he was trying to slight anyone. |

Verily, and I know it sounds sexist, I seriously thought women and dinosaurs were not only on different pages but were in different volumes altogether. My wife, knowing me as she does, still has no interest in my dinos... or my robots. |

;D And also a welcome from a dino girl Very cool you've visited the Dinoland exhibit! I recently acquired my first Mold-A-Rama dinosaur (Stegosaurus in red) and I love it!! Could you perhaps post pictures of your complete Sinclair Mold-A-Rama collection in the 'Collections' section? That would be very much appreciated  |

Hello and welcome from another dino girl  I think you'll find there are lots of females on this forum with an avid passion for dinosaurs, and other prehistoric non-dinosaurs (and Stoneage, the title of this thread is "Hello, fellow dino boys".... not guys ) I'd be interested in seeing your illustrations, if you're comfortable posting them online We have a dinosaur art thread on the forum as well. Additionally, I would also love to see your Mold-A-Rama collection! That sounds really really cool! |

Hello and welcome from another dino girl I think you'll find there are lots of females on this forum with an avid passion for dinosaurs, and other prehistoric non-dinosaurs And many women palaeontologists too, not least Mary Anning, who might be regarded as among the first if not the first. And I also second seeing your illustrations, please! |
