Looking for some things...

[elementparadise]

Hey there everyone, long time no see! Hope you all have had or are having nice holidays! I know I haven't really been around since the summer (school is kicking my butt), but I promise that a collection update will be on its way as soon as I get back to my apartment in the new year

Thanks :D

For conservation maybe pokemon that resemble animals that are endangered? ^__^

[elementparadise]

That's a cute idea, I like it!

I have a MIB Aerodactyl model kit for sale.

[elementparadise]

Any idea how much shipping would be for the model kit along with the Sceptile and Tropius pencil toppers?

[mewtwohavoka]

It would be $34 shipped (shipping's a bit more than the standard because Aerodactyl is still in his box).
Let me know if you're still interested :)

[elementparadise]

That sounds pretty reasonable to me :)

I haveee
omanyte, kabuto and kabutops full color stadium figures for $2 each:

How much would it be to ship both FCS, the water squirter, and the Bulbasaur pencil to Ontario?

[fiztheancient]

There are three fossil fcs so I'm not sure what you mean by 'both fcs', you'd have to specify which two you would like or if you want all three

For two fcs figures and the rest of the items it would be $8.30 shipped, for all three figures and the rest it would be $10.30 shipped

[elementparadise]

Ahh sorry, I meant all three but my hands typed both. Anyway I'll take all three figures and the rest of the stuff as well. I can send payment right away, all I need is your Paypal address :)

[kabutostar]

Either there's a lot more fossil fans around than I anticipated, or a ton have simply decided to come out of the woodworks now!

Doesn't help that they get relatively little merchandise either.

[elementparadise]

I think I've always liked the idea of the fossil Pokemon, but for some reason I never really thought of collecting them. They definitely appeal to the inner kid's dream of one day being able to bring back the dinosaurs :P

And it definitely does suck that they're pretty low on merch. Fingers crossed that will change in the future!

[kabutostar]

I can totally sympathize! I spent a couple years in college dedicated to ultimately have a career in paleontology myself, and although I've been a fan of Pokemon from beginning, especially the fossils, I spent a good portion of my childhood AND adult collector years not actually going after Pokemon toys.

The weirdest thing personally is that I think the Shieldon and Cranidos have relatively larger amounts of toys and plush out there compared to the others, but despite being the only true dinosaur Pokemon, they actually interest me almost as little as Lileep does. I don't really know why!

[elementparadise]

Yeah I know what you mean, I never really went out of my way to get them either when I was younger.

Shieldon and Cranidos (as well as their evolutions, I find) definitely seem to have more out there. Shieldon and Bastiodon are actually pretty high up there on my list of fossils, and surprisingly the Gen 3 ones are as well, though moreso Cradily than Lileep. Poor Lileep's just kind of...boring. Cradily on the other hand looks sort of squishy and fun to me, haha.
