Many thanks man! ;D ;D ;D

An other set to complete? I don't think that is of need for my part.
Completing the Dino-riders was always my greatest dream, just never knew I'd succeed, because every year that went by, made the chance of finding the Rulon Quetzalcoatlus with Algar smaller and smaller.


But yeah, I am done after this one, the only things I don't have which I never found interesting to obtain, are them twin packs, with one Valorian and 1 Rulon Soldier in a twin pack, all I have are all the Dino's of Series 1, 2 and 3 + the Commando's of series 3 all six of them and the four Mammals from the Ice Age series, all units are 100% complete and fully operational.
But yeah, for me it's practically perfect like this, no need for anything else as series go.

A Papo Carnotaurus is on my mind, I just love playing with these in Primal Carnage xD

Kool! Do you have a picture of the whole complete set?

[Tylosaurus]

Many thanks Stoneage! ;D

Well when it arrives I'll make new pics of it with the entire collection plus a 1080p video too xD

But yer, 23 years man, really I never would of thought I'd find this item, but patience did get me there after such a long search hehe

That is what I love about selective collecting, waiting and looking so long for an item and then making success too, just brilliant ;D ;D ;D

I'll look forward to seeing them.

[Tylosaurus]

Awesome ;D I'll do my best making pics and a nice HD video

[Tylosaurus]

Today the Dino-riders Quetzalcoatlus with Algar arrived after waiting for like 23 years!!!! ;D ;D ;D

So here the Entire Collection in three parts:

Top Rows:


Middle Rows:


Bottom Rows:


The box I placed here:


Here the Entire collection


And here a zoomed in pic of the entire DR set:


This collection began on March 15 1987 and was completed on November 15 2013 xD 26 years and 8 months, well worth it if you'd ask me

[stoneage]

Great collection! And it took less then 3 decades. What do you plan on collectiong next?

[Tylosaurus]

Many thanks Stoneage It was very worth completing too

as for what follows, well at the moment I am working on a new Dual CPU Server/Workstation, something entirely different

More of that here:
jarrettaustin.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=waterhole&thread=430&page=1

Since I don't want to go too much off topic here

Anyways here some more closeup pics of the Quetzalcoatlus with Algar

Face view, also showing how it's Brainbox acts like canards


From the right side:


and from the left side:


Top view revealing it's beautiful yellow/black paint scheme, the belly is white and the head is dark orange, a really nice mix of colours.


Here a closeup view from the right side:


and a closeup view from the left side:

How the Pilot Algar hangs looks like he might drop out especially at this angle, but I was able to jam his feet against the hull of the Quets and his arms towards the carrier he is in, this was the perfect solution without the need of sticky tape and such oddities xD ;D ;D

[stoneage]

Nice and it looks like you have all the accessories for it.

[Tylosaurus]

Yeah this fella came 100% complete too, it's probably the best looking, it's like some High Tech Primeval jet Fighter, kind of blending both universes into one, it's the most innovative design from Series 3 also

That Brain box [that gray helmet like thing] acts like an extra stabilizer and as canards in one, unique design for sure and it would seem very effective in dogfights aka air to air combat situations

All them minerals are mostly from Australia, France, Portugal, Germany & Scandinavia But all the shells are all from Australia

As for yesterday, well an other great find, I bought this Safari Ltd. Dilophosaurus model and Everything Dinosaur
www.everythingdinosaur.com/wild-safari-dinos-dilophosaurus.html

Many thanks to the the review which Matthew did of the Dilophosaurus model I bought from Everything Dinosaur:


Matthew is a colleague and friend of Mike Walley, Mike Willey is also a friend of mine and the founder of Everything Dinosaur, the best shop for all your Dino toy needs!

So I thought to buy the mascot for my Dilo League at Mike's shop Everything Dinosaur, thereby supporting his shop as well!

Here my League's place:
League of Dilo's
steamcommunity.com/groups/Leagueofdilos

As new members go, I only add people via invites, it's a private club, but if any of you here have steam and primal Carnage and feel like playing with us? Let me know you steam profile name and I will be happy to invite you! :cheers: :flower:

It seems to be very accurate, only minor flaw is that it has three fingers per hand instead of four, for the rest it seems to be the best Dilo toy out there
Dilophosaurus is also my favourite theropod btw

Here a good review at the Dino Toy Blog by cordylus:
www.dinotoyblog.com/2009/04/22/dilophosaurus-wild-safari/

[stoneage]

Thats a good figure, I have it too. It's hard to believe it's been around so long that Cordylus wrote a review on it.



And here is my Fauna Cast version.

[Tylosaurus]

Yeah I love it here some pics I made of it btw

Yes, I've seen that one before, it's been around for quite awhile. It's very original. You do know that Papo is coming out with a new Dilophosaurus this year. They are also releasing a Archaeopteryx which some people are complaining is too reptilian, but I like it. After all Archaeopteryx is not considered a bird anymore and is closer to being cold rather then warm blooded.
