Plus a few more: "Saichania", Shonisaurus, adult Apatosaurus, Desmatosuchus, Edmontonia, Edmontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Ceratosaurus (yes, the creepy one), Triceratops, Torosaurus, Baryonyx, "Sauropelta". But there are still some missing, I don't have the Kronosaurus, Deinosuchus, Corythosaurus, Styracosaurus, and many more. But I do not focus on completing them. Wow, thats pretty good considering you only started collecting recently and they were almost all retired before you even started,  |

The spino was in an auction of about 50 or so dinosaur figures. It may be the light that makes it look a bit different but I know the old Schleich Spinosaurus only like this. Mine is all blue and that's the only way i have seen it. |

Oh, and Ajax, I did the same mistake not to buy them when they were on the market. I remember my local toy shop had something like five shonisauri for ages and I never bought one because I thought €15,- would be too much for it. And then it got retired and the prices exploded. But they were never so important for me that I would pay those ridiculous prices you'd have to pay for at least some of them.

Mine is all blue and that's the only way i have seen it. Oh, I just learned how to quote  . It looks bluer than the photo suggests. It has a darker shade on top but not with that high contrast. I should make a newer photo of it soon and I guess you would not find it so much different from yours anymore. |

Impressive collection! Wow, you are as bad as Sbell when cataloging all of his figures ;D But at least you started and keep on taking photos as you add and not when you already have a million of them! ;D ;D And yes, space is always an issue with collecting, I have to have the vast majority of mine in bins since I don't have enough room.  I like you little humans, nice to see something different other than little hans  |

I like you little humans, nice to see something different other than little hans Thanks, I already have major problems with space. We have 89 square metres but we are four people here (I have two sons). And a good deal of my figures is stored in bins as well. I love Kaiyodo, Yujin, Colorata and the like for being so small although initially I preferred figures as large as possible. Concerning the human figures: Well, a good deal of them are in fact Hans, I painted one of them. The bearded person is the Schleich Settler Father (I chose him because he was the only Wild West figure without a gun and he reminds me a bit of my PhD supervisor). I have begun to turn to Preiser figures, they are exactly what I'm looking for and come in many different scales. They are quite expensive though, especially the prepainted ones. My Collection rapidly expanded in 2008 because at that time I really, really needed to reward me for hard work every day. As I did not get any grant for working on my PhD thesis I had the university by day, my job in the evening and the kids at night. It all went out good in the end and since December 2008 I'm a living person again. And it was healthier buying dino figures than eating chocolate all the time. |

Wow, you are as bad as Sbell when cataloging all of his figures ;D Hey now, that took me years...and I have all of them photographed now...and am slowly loading them all up onto Picasa... And now I must wait for the sharks to be un-backordered. I will be checking every day now! |

I will be checking every day now! Ah, I saw that their status changed to backordered. By the way, the Hybodus model originally has a transverse row of five spikes on the head. The central one can be sanded off easily, though . |

The central one can be sanded off easily, though . I was just in touch with them--apparently, they like to have orders before they re-order, sometimes. If they have orders, they are definitely more likely to bring them back in. And of course, they don't charge for them until they actually have the items in hand. Again, for people who know that they need them: Hybodus: www.hlj.com/product/NKWS-17Stethacanthus: www.hlj.com/product/NKWS-18And they have other sharks too (Greenland shark! Also backordered...  ) So everybody order them now, so that we can get them soon! |

What an impressive amount of figures. So, you still need two Linde?

I'm afraid, they are not quite what I am looking for at the moment (oh, I would certainly be interested in the Sphenacodon and the Dimetrodon though). It may well happen that I regret that later, but currently I focus on other figures. They surely have a nostalgic charm on them, though. |

It´s alright. Linde´s not everybody´s cup of tea. For a random collector like me (a little ROM here, a little UKRD there a.s.o.) they are pretty cool. B.t.w.: Ain´t it a crazy feeling for us as Germans talking English together?  I´d be interested if there are other members from the same country who might know this feeling, too. |

Yes, it may be a bit crazy but not too much. It would be more so in a personal message, But as English is the Language of the board... But that reminds me of some comments on my facebook profile recently where a discussion in English started in one of my albums that had nothing to do with the photos and all of us not only are German but sit in the same institute (and next door to each other)! Hilarious, we could as well have knocked at our neighbor's door but chose to communicate in English via comments on a facebook album. We also phone frequently... |

Nicely organized and well photographed. But on question carnotauras is an albeliasaur and should be in non-tetanuran catagorie. I applaud you to find time between work being a family man and finding time for you hobbies and contributing to this site!

Well, initially there was only one album, then it got bigger, then you move pictures to new folders and somewhere on the way this got lost. The album "Tetanurae" was "non-coelurosaurian Theropoda" until a few months and I didn't notice that Carnotaurus stayed in here after I split it further. Well Carnotaurus, time to move house ;D! edit: Or was it that I moved it one time too many? Don't remember. Anyway - moved! |

Where did find that Sega Tyrannosaurus? I'm not sure I've ever seen that figure.

It was a seller "lordhelmchen67" who imports from Japan. But that was over a year ago. Apparently the Sega Tyrannosaurus is sold out  . Oh, but I see he sells CollectA, never saw the CollectA whales before . |

May I ask: What is the scale for the Schleich Anhanguera? You never added it on your Facebook list!
