Got my 4 kits late last week.
Was really impressed with how sharp the boxes are.
Those Monogram boxes are really flimsy, and these look brand new.
Only thing was the plastic wrap was partially ripped on the trike.
Not badly, but will still have to keep my eyes open for an upgrade.

I see at least 2 pieces of it in the upper right corner.
Didn't really examine the picture that much.
Saw a mammoth, trike, and spiked, and jumped on the deal ($24.50 after shipping is added in)
Then I went back and looked again, and saw the armored dino, and the mammoth base.
There are also a bunch of tar pit parts.
Can't wait for the package to come in, so I can see what all is in there.

Ok, got the box this weekend.
Just took a quick look so far.
Complete reissues glued and partially painted.
Armored dino, spiked dino, trike.
Also, a reissue mammoth, that has a full base with nameplate, but no tree.
Also an original armored base (both halves), giant bird nameplate, original rex nameplate,
Most of a tar pit, minus the vulture. What looks to be an almost complete cave painted and some stuff glued, and some trees and stuff for the swamp.
So, I'd say I did pretty good.
Wish the stuff wasn't glued, but I can still work with a lot of this stuff.

Yay! Another score www.ebay.com/itm/300863664422Giant bird with box + tiger and box. Both built, but the big thing for me is the tiger has a Canadian box and instruction sheet. And the box looks really nice. The seller had some other really nice boxes in other auctions but I just didn't have the cash for them. Especially since he is selling things in groups. This was the cheapest one, and that had something I didn't have. The others would be real upgrades, but not right now. |

Not sure, but I think I may have scored one of my PS grail kits. www.ebay.com/itm/380618023840I didn't confirm it with the seller, but it looks to be one of the caves, molded in gray plastic! And if not, I do need that Canadian box. As well as that blue instruction sheet. |

IT's been a long time since I've been this excited. This has been a real grail for me. Yeah, sure, I still need a Rex box. But it's not like they are rare. Their just too expensive. But I could find one and get it if I wanted to pay for it. A 72 Tar Pit. That's another thing. I've only seen them come up for sale like 6 or 7 times now in the 10+ years I've been looking for one. The first few I wasn't even in the ballpark. The last couple though, I was close. I think the last one I lost out after bidding $150. I wanted it, I could taste it. Then I had it snatched away from me by another bidder. This one has been making me antsy for days now. Heck, it was still under $10 this morning before I bid. Due to the closing time, and the fact I am only online when at home, I had to bid when there was still 4 hours left in the auction. I put in a very decent, but reasonable bid of 140 pounds (about $213) which took the price up to 15 pounds. Then I thought about it a minute, remembered the last auction I lost and pumped my bid up to 175 pounds. Yeah, that was high, but since there are 2 kits there (hopefully each complete) I figured I'd better go for it. Turns out my first bid would have won, but just barely. I hate having to bid blind like that with hours left to go. Think I could have gotten it much cheaper if I could have sniped it like I normally do. One guy put in 11 bids after mine  |

Unfortunately, I'm getting into the big game territory now. I need a rex box, and all 3 displays. As well as the Pom-poms boxes. Thankfully, I still have some more common stuff to fill in as well. More Canadian and European boxes and instructions (also not cheap). More sealed reissues. And a few more unpainted kits for my raw display. Also, it turns out I need a few parts to complete the gray cave. 01 - base 06 - connector (and could use 4 others as they are all missing a peg) 30 - bone 32 - bone 35 - bone 40 - spear 43 - knife And wall #13 has the peg broken off the top of it.  Still stoked about this score. Just have a bit more to find to make it complete. All part of the hunt |
