Well, its hard to narrow it down, so I'll just do a 'shotgun' version of my dino grails: 1. The complete Battat Collection with both the first and third TRex versions - never cared for the 2nd one with 'snow shoes' - (minus the 10 mini-dinos) 2. Toyway WWD Liopleurodon, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Opthalmosaurus, Iguanodon and Ornithocheirus (the Planet One Publishing UK magazine only giveaway that was never sold. This just may be THE most rare PVC dinosaur figure ever made. A photo of it is on the Dinosaur Collector website here: www.dinosaurcollector.150m.com/Pre_air.html By the way, he's wrong about the wings being fragile; I have had mine mounted on a wire for the past 2 1/2 years and the wings have not sagged one millimeter. So that was surely not the reason it never got released. The second series was also to include a Diplodocus but got inexplicably cancelled by Toyway. ). I sold the other WWD pieces as they didn't look too accurate. 3. Chap Mei Liopleurodon customized into a model (see my website): bucketfoot-al.tripod.com/DinoModels/index.album/liopleurodon-135-scale?i=73&s=14. Customized Resaurus Trike, Giganotosaurus, Stegosaurus 5. Customized running Papo TRex bucketfoot-al.tripod.com/DinoModels/index.album/papo-trex-utahraptor-135-scale?i=14&s=1 (also have the Allosaurus and Spinosaurus, but those are not rare) 6. Deluxe Procon Agustinia - a simply amazing, very large piece of what surely was THE most BIZARRE looking sauropod ever. I was shocked that someone actually made one! And well, too! 6. A variety of about 40 Japanese mini dinos, including many Kaiyodo, Colorata, Furuta, Sega and other brands - collected for accuracy only - thus I don't have a complete collection of any one of them. The only reason my Battat collection has all 18 dinos (19 if you also count the 'Tripod Trex') is because all of them are the best sculpts for a PVC collection ever made. I Also have the usual JP Toys (Gallimimus, Baryonyx, both Carnotaurs, the rainbow Thrasher TRex and Omega TRexes - but I am in the process of selling those as the kids have outgrown them, and I don't collect toys). So contact me if you're interested. I should also add that I have the complete Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Toy Collection. A bit obscure, but Jack Tenrec and Hanna Dundee plus his Caddy are a must have for fans of that short-lived cartoon series... |

The Procon agustinia is wonderful Though for some reason they gave it only three toes on its hind feet  So you have the Toyway ornithocheirus?  Lucky  Every collector I know of is trying to chase one down. |

Yeah, and this'll kill ya - I got it on ebay.uk in July 2006 .... for $12 ;D ;D ;D NO ONE ELSE BID(!!!!!!!) It was pictured in the plastic box, kinda dark, at first glance it was hard to see what you were looking at (unless you SUSPECTED what it was) .... but the kicker is that the description described EXACTLY what it was - and still no one bid. I got all of my WWD figures from the UK - Internet shops or ebay.uk - I mean, THAT is where they were made and sold. OTOH, I can't tell you how many times I overpaid for all sorts of things - so it evens out at best. Once in a while we all deserve a break. The Procon agustinia is wonderful Though for some reason they gave it only three toes on its hind feet So you have the Toyway ornithocheirus?

$12 I can't even get the regular Walking with Dinosaurs figures for $12 anymore. I'd ask, but I doubt you'll be willing to part with it for $12   Great find |

*Sigh* I think I've sold too many dinos that have ended up being holy grails just a little later after going out of production |

Thorondor - Thanks
Jurassic-Cretaceous Fan: No, haven't the foggiest notion of what those are. My collection is pretty much summarized above. I too have bought and sold more dinos than I now own.
