I agree, Seijun's look lovely. I think they're even better than that bigger one I saw.

ETA: Ah, look, here it is, relisted:

It's huge: 22 inches long!

Taken out of context, this is probably the most hilarious, and most easily misconstrued, post of all time.

[Himmapaan]

Trust you to think in those terms! ;D (A joke! I jest! ;D)

I should have stuck to my customary centimetres, so much safer. ;D As it is, I just took the measurements directly from the seller. ;D

No further innuendos to be derived from the above sentence, if you please. ;D ;D

Those ones looks really good, do they have any marks or something? I'd love to hunt these down.

They are completely devoid of any marks or writing. On the carno, the bottoms of the feet and inside of the mouth are even sculpted in and detailed.
I am loving how on the aladar he is really nice and thin. Movie toys tend to be a lot wider than their movie counterparts, I guess to help them balance and withstand getting played with, but this guy is like the battat ornithopods in width.

Went to my fav store at the beach and picked up

Carnegie Camarasaurus
Feathered Dino toob
WS dilophosaurus

[foxilized]

Goodies from beyond the seas:



Salvat elasmo, Invita troodon and cetios, Aaa utahraptor wellnotreally -dilopho-, Chapmei tower to watch dinos safely (wellnotreally)

Oh my gosh THEY ARE ATTACKING MY KITTY!!!!!!!

[therizinosaurus]

Cute cat! And nice acquisitions, love that Troodon!

[Himmapaan]

Adorable kitty. ;D

I recently got two Cetiosaurus too, among a few other Invictas.

[sumo]

Oooh...

I got this:

That's right, it's a vintage (1992) Marvel dinosaur comic featuring that fearsome - and bald - beast, the Oviraptor!

[mnemosaurus]

wow, that comic looks so cool

Today my WWD postosuchus arrived. It was in a lot I won for only 1 pound . Together with ugly chinasaurs and two funny King Kong toy dinosaurs (they can fall apart when you push a button on their chest ).

This week I also found in my mailbox: the beautiful Safari Mamenchisaurus, 'Pterosaur', baby oviraptor in egg, baby t-rex in egg and the Carnegie Camarasaurus, Baryonyx, Maiasaura with seperate nest, Giganotosaurus and Tylosaurus. And Schleich Anhanguera, Brachio and Apato.... phewwww... I'm afraid I've got a serious space problem by now!

[Himmapaan]

Sumo, you lucky thing!

A WWD Postosuchus in a lot of just £1! No fair! ;D

[Seijun]

Just got an Invicta unpainted Liopleurodon , yay! I didn't realize they were so cheap. I never looked for one before because I thought they were supposed to be rare.

[Himmapaan]

You must have been lucky! My recent invictas were not so cheap (no Liopleurodon, alas); and they were far from perfect too. Quite a bit of playwear.

[Seijun]

This one might have a lot of playwear too, the description just said "good played with condition".

[dip]

I got a painted Liopleurodon but still looking for the unpainted. I also recently got a WWD Postosuchus in a lot for 99p! Hold out for long enough and you are bound to get one cheap.

Agree on that... also bought the polacanthus and torosaurus for 4.99 each. It's either in a messy lot or with a misspelled name or something. I wish you success on your liopleurodon quest!

double post *deleted*

Yeah, it's totally on those lots where one can find treasures and paying ridiculous money for those... That's the way I actually got my Invicta troodon and the 2 cetios, they were in the same lot and I asked the seller to send me only the ones I wanted. So the price I paid for them was awesome.

One needs to search, though, it's totally a hunt. And a waste of time, sometimes. So, finding a treasure once in a while is a deserved reward.


My kitty says thankyou for the praises, btw. ;D She's called Laila.

[DinoLord]

Picked up the WS Ambelodon, Carnegie Collection Giganotosaurus, and Prehistoric Sea Life Toob at AMNH today.

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

I was messing around with a kinto desktop brachiosaurus there a few weeks ago.

[DinoLord]

They cost like two times as much over there as they do online. When I went there today all the desktop models were in a glass case. I wonder why...
