I don't have anything Invicta, anything slightly vintage (unless they're copies or rubber cheap plastic dinosaurs), or anything European. I'd love to have an invicta Lambeosaurus. I'm gonna add him to mah wish list. How big is it compared to Carnegie and Battat scale Hadrosaurs?

It's quite small - about 20cm or so. They never did a coloured version, but the uncoloured one is nice anyway, especially if you are into hadrosaurs. It's even in the Dino Toy Forum title above - THATS how much I like it I'll keep my eyes open for you if you want.

I agree different hadrosaurs needed to be made. I personally would like to see some good lambeosaurines such as tsintasaurus, lambeosaurus, olorotitan, and charonosaurus. As far as the hadrosaurines go saurolophus, shantungosaurus, and edmontosaurus would be cool. i disagree though with excluding the parasaurolophus. I would like to see one that is properly scaled down though. Carnegies is to small. I would also like to see more dinos from the triassic. Not really a good selection as far as scle models go.

Nah don't worry about it, Dr. Admin. I'll prolly find one before too long.

All right, who doesn't like these thought experiments?
I'm going to stick with the Paleozoic: A few identifiable trilobites (Bullyland may have made one, but it is generic and unnamed), Eurypterids, Acanthodiians, A variety of larger scale agnathans (Starlux can't be the only one still). A variety of sharks--pleuracanths, Stethacanthus, Helicoprion, Cladoselache, Iniopteryx. Some of the more important Sarcopterygiians--Tiktaalik, Acanthostega, Ichthyostega, Eusthenopteron, Pandreicthys, some sort of rhizodont. As for terrestrial critters--clearly obvious inverts like Meganeura and Arthropleura, maybe Pulmonoscorpio. Definitely a variety of Dinocephalians and Gorgonopsids, plus some Paraiesaurs (again with the Starlux near monopoly). Some new sphenacodonts (don't need Dimetrodon, but can't help it, and the Bullyland Edaphosaurus is good enough for me). And of course some of the varied amphibians--Crassigyrinus, Eogyrinus, Seymouria, Cacops, Ophiderpeton, Prionosuchus, and Platyhystrix, and a bunch of others I can't think of right now.
And to skip out of the Palaeozoic for a moment--I would like to see a phytosaur made.
And for those who don't like anything Cenozoic (by the way, mammals evolved at the same time as dinosaurs, and primates are probably one of the earliest placental groups to evolve, so if you want to ignore the time of mammals, technically you stop looking at about the later Triassic) BUT--I would like to see a champsosaur.

^^^ That's the kind of line I'd like to see I'm going to stick with the Paleozoic: A few identifiable trilobites (Bullyland may have made one, but it is generic and unnamed), The Kaiyodo trilobites (i.e. Psychopyge and Triarthrus) are amazing

Many, many more Papo dinosaurs, of whatever genus (as long as they're not feathered ) --that is more than enough for me

Papo should make more Hadrosaurs. I think they'd do well with those.

The Kaiyodo trilobites (i.e. Psychopyge and Triarthrus) are amazing Yeah, I have those ones--and every Dinotale figure made (at least one colour or issue version, anyway). They are what really kept me collecting for the longest time. And I finally have them all on display! It is quite disappointing that Kaiyodo appears to have stopped making figures (the last two being Nipponites and Futabasaurus). Haven't seen anything good out of Japan in the last couple years, really. The best chance for critters from my "wish to see" list would have been from them.

I was wondering what has happened to the dinotales series. Too bad they just froze So you have the whole collection? That seems excessive, even for me! I particularly liked the fishes and the invertebrata.

I particularly liked the fishes and the invertebrata. Yeah, I started out with just the ones I liked--the mammals mostly. Then I did a short paper on paleozoic vertebrates, and developed a new appreciation for the fish and amphibian figures. Then I pretty much decided to get them all. Even some of the rares--for example I have two of the Siamotyrannus colours, the tuatara, and a fukuiraptor. I also have some of the Bandai and Yujin prehistoric figures, but it seems like all the Japanese companies stopped making them at once.

^^^ So you have the Kaiyodo Sphenodon? I envy you beyond measure. Yup--it was a gift from a fellow collector who had two. Funny thing is, I have another tuatara figure as well, made by Colorata. They look pretty much the same, but the Colorata one can't break!

Are you sure about that? The overall shape doesn't remind me of the Bullyland trilobite. And the eyes seem too small

Nope, not sure, but it was based on comparisons with some drawings in the Clarkson Invertebrate Paleontology text. Trilobites aren't really my thing though.

I has a quick search but couldn't find any species identical either, I'll try to remember to check the Treatise on invert pal at work tomorrow...see if we can get to the bottom of this mystery...

Perhaps it's a Bullyland designer trilobite, like a goldendoodle or a buggs -- or an archaeoraptor ;D Sorry, the opportunity was too tempting to resist
