| | Here are my long lost dinosaur models:
They are in worse shape than I remember and I'm not sure how complete they are since all the pieces are mixed together. And the mice have been chewing on the boxes and making nests. But I was very happy to find them as I had thought for sure they were history. Most of the old toys and games were in boxes all together in my mom's garage. Before I even started cleaning, I looked in all the boxes I could and peeked in a couple boxes in the back through the holes the mice had chewed. The big box that had my dinosaurs in them also had a few other games and that's all I saw when I first looked in it. It wasn't until a few days later when I was almost completely done cleaning the garage that I actually took that big box down and looked inside. The most valuable one by far is t-rex whose orange head can be seen in the middle of the photo. Unfortunately, the box is no longer around...it would likely be worth close to a hundred dollars by itself. I will toss them up on eBay soon. I'm usually quite sentimental about things from my past, but these take up a lot of room and are best housed in someone else's collection. My friend missed both the buses back to Corvallis, so he is staying another night. |

And in those days, as far as figurines go, it was mostly Dinky toys. Dinosaurs are more recent... kind of.
