DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MY WEAKNESS?

THE VERY THING INVADING MY DREAMS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT, MAKING ME WAKE UP IN A SWEAT AND SHAKING? DO YOU?!

fine.

I can't get this mother fucking dippy out of my head. I NEED IT.
LOOK at this thing:



I mean... I admit, I'm a dinosaur toy collector. I don't have many, only 80 or so, but that's because I prefer to collect only the best figures in my mind. a lot of my collection is actually from my childhood when my grandmother and parents bought me dinosaurs for any occasion. I mean... dinosaurs have been my life long love, and it all started with a little blue wendy's dinosaur from when I was like.. two.

but this diplodocus. is haunting my dreams. I dream that I find it in a thrift store, or a collector's store, or on ebay, or at a garage sale. seriously, it's like close fucking encounters. except I'm carving a dinosaur out of the mashed potatoes.

and this thing is extremely rare. it was first produced by the Boston Museum of Science (battat), like... in 1994. it's super SUPER rare, and extremely sought after. I saw one on ebay sell for $500. there's a person on ebay right now selling the ENITRE Battat collection from the first series I believe, including this diplodocus. of course it's selling for about 2k, but GOD DAMMIT if I HAD fucking $2,000 to spare I'd buy it right now. but I don't.

I feel almost desperate, there's no way I will ever get my hands on this wonderful model. no way. all I can do is sit back and keep an eye out... but I know that even if I do get the chance to add this holy grail if you will to my collection, I won't be able to afford it.

but what I CAN do is just maybe call the boston museum of science and see if they have it available in their gift shop. which they won't, but I'm going to call tomorrow anyway.
