Well, this is my second post since introducing myself, so I thought I'd share my first fledgeling steps back into the world of collecting dinosaurs...
Over the past month, I've acquired Dinostoreus' Amargasaurus, Allosaurus, Dilophosaurus, and the Carnotaurus skull; the Papo Allosaurus, Styracosaurus, and Pachyrhinosaurus; and finally the Safari Ltd "Great Dinos" Triceratops, and the Wild Safari Guanlong.
I'm starting my payments on Sideshow's Apatosaurus next week, and have a number of additional Dinostoreus purchases coming down the pipe...
Comments? Opinions?

And Papo Allosaurus was THE topic here two or so years ago. My, there were discussions...Still it's one of the most frequented dinosaurs on the blog! I have to announce a recent acquisition, too: Schleich Baryonyx for less than 5€ ;D |

I just bought one of those little clear rubber balls with a dinosaur in it... Dissecting the ball was surprisingly easy, and the itty bitty dino - a jumping retroraptor - surprisingly cute.

Ditto! Wow, what a fantastic lot! I just got (DON'T JUDGE ME!) The humongous book of dinosaurs. Blame it on Trish Arnold... But hey, it only cost $2, and anyway the artwork (at least some of it) is a great confidence booster for us mediocre artists... |

Oh, so envious of your Happinet Supersaurus, Patrick! It's a beauty, isn't? I love it, looks so good on a shelf. Definitely a figure worth looking for. |

You are not mediocre, Ingunn. And frankly, if I could pick up The Humongous Book of Dinosaurs for a mere $2, I would do so in a heartbeat.  ;D |

The book looks cool, I don't have it, but I've heard it's nice. I'd buy it too for that price despite the outdated info.

Geene Models (Now to paint that Shroomosaurus!)  Favorite Paint the Dinosaur Minis  Yujin Therizinosaurus, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus off Ebay.  Dinosaur King miniature figures. Thanks Blade of the Moon.   Various Safari figures. Thanks Darko2300.  And my slowly growing series 1 Dinosaur King battle figures. (Still missing the darn sauropods and Abelisaurs.)

So! For my first new dinosaur in years I just bought a dandy Carnegie Amargasaurus at the RMDRC! It's simply darling, even more so by the 1:35 scale. I think I may recolor the end of the tail since it was rather sloppily painted. XD

 I hate beansprouts, so I fed them to my newest acquisitions, who finally arrived after a month long journey from the Orient. |
