Some of My stuff, nuthin great

This isnt even a 10th of what I have but everything is buried. I just won the Papo Spinosaurus with a T Rex (that makes 3 of those I have now) & the Raptor all for under $50.00 including shipping.
I dont think the seller was happy as He just threw them in a Toys R Us bag & into a box with no packing, fortunately they arrived safely.

So there is still 90% not pictured? Looks pretty good to me

Re: the packaging of the Papos--when I send out my dinos I always wrap them in bubble wrap and fill the box with newspapers, packaging peanuts, etc. Most people think toys aren't easily damaged, since they were made for children to play with, being unaware of the full horrors of the postal service

Yes indeed, I cant tell You how many BMNH Invicta Saurapods I've recieved with tails & necks broken in half because of lousy packaging.
As for those being about 1 10th, yes, I have multiples of most items pictured plus ceramics, models, statues, Marx & MPC sets.
I keep meaning to auction them off but I've got them buried by other things I've collected over the years.
I'll be sleeping on My front porch if I dont act soon.

I forgot to add, Everyone is right about the Papo Spinosaurus, I was like a little kid when I recieved it, didnt want to put it down.
Looking forward to the Allosaurus.

What happened to the pix? Aren't coming up for me, just little blue boxes with a "?" in them.

I've been generally lucky in receiving, most items are well packed although an Invicta Diplodocus was in a box that bent the end of his tail. No biggy. Now he is unique.

I suppose the guy you bought them from was expecting a better price, Papo Spinosaurs had been drawing quite a premium for a while there. But that is no excuse for poor packing. I generally use newspaper, shredding and/or styrofoam and make sure that nothing shakes, rattles or rolls inside before I send it off.

Small bends can be fixed with the hairdryer method..a variation of the hot/cold method..only dryer..lol

For packing I use those air packets or bubble wrapping..I hate packing peanuts..too much of mess..newspapers alright to.
