Here is the place where people can show off their Dino Rider collections.  When I first stared this site, I was the only one with a collection to show off.  Fast forward a few years later and several people have stepped up to the plate and shown off their own collections.  I am very impressed.  If you have pictures of your collection that you want to share, please e-mail them to me and I will post them here.  The battle for the best collection is on and here are the entries:

 

My Collection (Case # 1)

This collection is complete with a four-foot display case and nameplate.  This case has just about every single Dino-Rider toy produced, including every figure, every dinosaur, and every single weapon accessory.  This case also has the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Quetzalcoatlus, Kentrosaurus, Triceratops, and Deinonychus on display.  Some of the more rare pieces on display include the two Superdough dinosaurs, the mail-away Pterodactyl, and the Smithsonian version of the Quetzalcoatlus (no head crest).  Pretty extreme, huh?

My Collection (Case # 2)

I decided that another case was in order.  This time, I built a diorama style battle scene.  There are trees, shrubs, a volcano, and a waterfall.  I included all of my custom pieces including the T. Rex, Quetzalcoatlus, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, and the knock-off Brontosaurus complete with its custom made weapons.  On the top shelf are models from the Dinostoreus collection.  Go to www.dinostoreus.com - they have awesome resin dinosaur models but they are very expensive.  The Spinosaurus skeleton in the middle costs $350!  I am pretty happy with the overall results.  You be the judge:

Obi-Wan Kenobi's Collection

Obi-Wan (obiwankenobi28@gmail.com) also has a nice glass display case to show off his Dino-Rider collection.  He also spiced things up a bit by adding non-Dino-Rider dinosaur toys and rocks, minerals, and crystals that he acquired in Australia and other countries.  He also has fossils and a dead bonsai tree thrown in for good measure!

Tobi's Collection

Tobi (tobias.golisch@t-online.de) is a German Dino-Rider collector.  His display is very interesting and natural looking.  The shelves look like rock ledges and were made out of wood and foam and then painted over once dry.  The sand completes this awesome display.  Tobi has a display cabinet for the figures and he also has a lot of Dino-Riders merchandise.
