about my collections
While I do have many American and European pieces, as far as mass-manufactured items, I've collected mainly Japanese dinosaur figures, models and occasionally what they call :toys:. They can be resin, plastic, vinyl, ceramic, metal, built or kits. I also have a lot of rare dino/prehistoric books and videos. It's all outdated, probably all junk but I keep it for nostalgia.
my interests
I am more about quality than quantity. There's not a ton of things I am actively looking for. I think I have enough actually. Until something new that's reeeal nice comes along but it hasn't yet.
Also I don't collect or care about any of the Jurassic Park movies, tie-ins or toys (can't stress that enough!)
