Here's a little bit of F-U-N......Mark and I had a short discussion about what would be the ULTIMATE PS COLLECTION? Here is my ULTIMATE PS COLLECTION All kits of the 17 originals (painted, unpainted and sealed in box from different years and the countries), All styrene reissues (painted, unpainted and sealed in box from different years and the countries), Any resin copies if applicable, ALL resin Garage kit add-ons and what ifs (painted, unpainted and sealed in bag or box if applicable) and any vinyl kits if available.  Input your thoughts and ideas...... |

As above with the never made time traveller, the proposed full size Archeopteryx and the Icthyosaurus (primeval plastics). That's if I'm allowed proposed kits?

i want the 3 store displays in mint condition, including shipping boxes. The original artwork for the boxes and instruction sheets. The design sketches from HMS The painted kits from the display room at Aurora. The promotional photos of those kits. Pictures of the Toy Fair displays of the kits. Some of the test shots that Atlantis had from their run of the Rex. The steg pattern All the Pom-Poms boxes. At least one of every add-on piece. And every variation of the kits MISMB Not that I'm greedy or anything |

In that case the original art work for the great ads from the Marvel comics is mine. Particularly the Tarzan one, framed and mounted for the wall in my study. I'm pretty sure I remember Tarzan finding himself in a lost world featuring the Ps kits.

WOW! Now we're getting overkill!!!! (But very much acceptable) We are talking "ULTIMATE" here. Well, I am operating on a bit higher level. I already have multiples of the actual kits. Both original and reissue. I am slowly working my way through building them all. I've got some of the promo photos, one of the sketches, and an actual pattern. Sadly, this means, most of my hunting is now in the 'big game' territory.  Unfortunately, I don't have the bank account to finance many hunting trips though.  |

Yep! That's the one. I re-drew that with a few more panels when I was teenager with a crow quill pen and some felt tips. If I still had my own drawing I'd have that framed on the wall next to it. Now there's a B Movie just asking to be made! Tarzan meets the Dinosaurs. Any takers in Hollywood reading this please remember I can write the script! |

Thinking about it... Bill Lemon and Ray Meyer autographs would be cool too!

Ooooo.
Nice idea.
I'm kinda kicking myself for not getting Ray's at WF several years ago.
But, I'm not really an autograph collector.

But, I'm not really an autograph collector. Neither am I but it still would be cool to bookend a collection with the sculptors. Dave Cockrum, Any Yanchus and others who have participated in it would be good too. |

I'm glad I got Ray Meyer's autograph at Wonderfest. I'm not an autograph collector but I couldn't pass on the Aurora history. Plus getting Andy's autograph on the Monster Scenes book was cool too.

My ultimate PS collection would include all kits built painted and unpainted and at least a full set of sealed boxes in great shape. I would like the factory displays as well. Would love it all but then would have to wish for a building large enough to house the collection and display it professionally as well. Need to win the lottery!!!!

I hear that. Every time I get in on one of those huge lotteries, I keep thinking, if I win, I'm gonna buy the vacant Carnegie library here in town. Then I could really display my collection as a museum of sorts.
Maybe set up something in the downstairs where people can buy, build, and learn to build kits.

I like your thought Trevor! Years ago I was going to go into business and open an "ALL Dino-Store" and feature as many different toys, models and figurines I could for display and for buying. But reality won out. So, until I win the "lottery", it's just a pipe dream.  |

Doesn't hurt to dream though.
Even if the odds are super-slim, nothing like a little hope to keep life interesting.
