Yup! Glad I could add the Plesiorsaur.

By curiosity: where exactly did you get that Larami Plesiosaur?

I found a lot on Marktplaats, a big group of all sorts of plastic animals.
He is from that lot, which also contained a mysterious ray and an AAA eel (among others).

But Larami dinosaur is looking for a new home.
No trades for him yet.

I'm interested...

PMed you

Yesterday, I received four Larami dinosaurs! Here they are:

PTERANODON

IGUANODON

TYRANNOSAURUS

I'll put them all on TAI as soon as I can.

That's an important lot! 4 Larami dinosaurs at once! Well, actually they are three because one of them is not a dinosaur at all. The retro Rex is somewhat humanoid but they have a lot of charm! I can't tell that the ankylosaurus looks exactly like what it is supposed to look but I like its armadillosaur look, it makes me think in a completely new creature.

Congratulations !! A great catch

Nice additions :)

Thank you! I started to put on TAI, but I'm not finished yet. I do encounter a problem: the pictures of the Tyrannosaurus and Iguanodon keep disappearing and reappearing over and over... is it normal? Is it because their pages are not finished?

OK! Now, the Ankylosaurus, Iguanodon and Tyrannosaurus are completely put on TAI!!! Only the Pteranodon to go. However, I still don't know how to CREATE A NEW LINK on TAI. Because the Pteranodon link still doen't exist on the Larami page. So, can anyone tell me how to create a new link, please?

I am glad you managed everything now, Valerie. It is indeed normal that after uploading a picture on TAI it keeps appearing and desappearing. After a little time everything gets normal.

Now, I'm expecting a Larami Brachiosaurus and a Larami Styracosaurus.

Larami STYRACOSAURUS

Finally!!! I received my LARAMI BRACHIOSAURUS and my LARAMI STYRACOSAURUS!!!! YIPPPEEEEEEE!!! Now, I will start the process to put them on TAI. Myself.

There are still three Larami dinosaurs missing on TAI. Good news: I'm expecting a Larami Parasaurolophus soon via mail!

The brachiosaurus is very beautiful! Not long ago it seemed impossible for you and everyone to get some Larami and it seems your persistence is being rewarded.
I hope you get the parasaurolophus and other two remaining.

Actually, its seems more that I'm the only one here who is WORKING TO GET THEM. Because they are rather numerous on EBay. It's only the Triceratops and the Stégosaurus that I haven't seen on EBay yet.

I think it is good for you that not many people is wanting to get them. There aren't many references to the Larami stegosaurus and triceratops on other boards too so I assume they are the rarest of them. Good luck.

Thank you.

And here it is: my LARAMI PARASAUROLOPHUS!!!

Nice again :)

Thank you! But there are still the Stégosaurus and the Triceratops left to find. Only then, the set will be complete on TAI...

Believe it or not, I just bought the Larami Triceratops on EBay! YEAAAHHH! Now, to receive it via mail. When I receive it, I will put it on TAI and only the Larami Stégosaurus will be missing in the set.

I am very happy for you Valerie! I am also glad that you are building your collection and at the same time updating their respective pages on TAI. That was my dream for this wiki project, to warrant that some brand completists introduced their collections in the respective pages of these companies. I know there are already some doing it but, for example, I think Britains and other popular companies could be already almost complete if we were able of finding collectors working on them.

I think that in every company and every line, there are pieces that are harder to find than the others. In the Larami Dinosaurs, the Triceratops and the Stegosaurus are the hardest to get. In ROM, it is the stenopterygius and the pteranodon. As for Larami sharks, I still cannot get my hands on the two other tinies aside the Horn Shark, while I already have the Great White in double (anyone interested?). It seems to be like this everywhere.

This is almost like an exiting TV-series, - the Stégosaurus being the cliffhanger of the Dino-series !

And already the whale-series is running

Which ones in the whale set do you think are the rarest/most common?

In the Larami Whales series, it seems that the most common one is the Killer Whale. I have seen it many times in various lots on EBay that included vintage Larami animals. This is surprising when we consider the fact that this piece is not very big. Other common Larami Whales include the Sperm Whale and the Blue Whale. But these two ones are among the biggest of the set, and so, the least easy to "lose" somewhere.

The least common whales of the Larami set seem to be in fact the Pilot Whale and the Narwhal. But these two are among the smallest pièces of the set, and therefor, the easiest to "lose" somewhere. So, that does not surprise me. What surprises me is that the Larami Finwhale is also a scarce piece; I haven't seen it anywhere on EBay. Other hard-to-find pièces are the Bowhead Whale and the Black Right Whale.

As for the Grey Whale, the Beluga, the Northern Bottlenose and the Humpback, they are kind in between. I have seen them in a few lots, on EBay. But only once (beluga) or twice (grey whale) each. They are not the rarest, but they are not very common either.
