I agree, the African rhino is really interesting. Is it also marked 2009?  It is probably also marked with a letter, these indicators are essential to sort these models.

The rhino is not marked 2009, it is a much earlier model. I can look again for the exact markings if you like.

Sorry, it is already on TAW, I haven't noticed and it is from 1998.

Am I quick or what!

Sure.

Really nice TM animals!

The local flea market is a great source of old Toy Major animals indeed.

Hi! Here is the 2000 TM Brachiosaurus I found in a store where are sold donations from people. It is marked with the number 1072-P4. Because it was numbered, I checked my other 2000 TM dinosaurs to see if they were numbered as well. It turned out THEY WERE: my 2000 greyish-blue Apatosaurus bears the number 1072-P1 and my 2000 Stegosaurus bears the number 1072-P11. And I checked on Ebay: the 2000 Pachycephalosaurus figure we have bears the number 1072-P5. There also exists a 2000 Tyrannosaurus which bears the number 1072-P13, but we don't have it yet. It didn't keep me from creating its page on TAI; when we have the figure, all we will have to do, will be to add the picture of the toy on the page and that will be it.

So, when I put my new Brachiosaurus on To Animal Wiki, I moved the other 1072-Px numbered dinosaurs from the "large 2000 dinosaurs" category to the right "1072-Px" series: the Apatosaurus, the Stegosaurus and the Pachycephalosaurus. And, of course, the T-Rex we are still searching.

Great job, Valérie! As this series is already identified despite not being complete. I will open a page to show on main Toy Major page, just after the Dinosaurs as we do with other series.
Markings are really important, they help us grouping these figures in sets and we get a coerent result.
A number ending in P13 is quite unusual. It usually goes up to -P12 but there might be a reason for that.

The reason for a P13? Simple: the set contains at least 13 figures. We just didn't discover them all yet.

It is not usual but it is not impossible either. Sometimes there are also two different figures with the same number but I don't know if it is misreading or just wrongly introduced information and some other series.
The fun is to discover them all.
Here is the page, I hope the structure is fine for you.

That looks good. I just hope I will still be able to edit them in case I find those figures.

You were right: I just saw another 2000 T-Rex by Toy Major with its number clearly stamped on Ebay and its number is 1072-P2. The other one I saw yesterday had its number half-erased by use and I misread it P13. But it is really P2. Sorry about that.

I also saw on Ebay the 1072-P12 Styracosaurus and the 1072-P7 Parasaurolophus. I will add them on TAW (without the pics, however, since we do not own them yet).

There, it is done. You may go to Toy Animal Wiki to see my job on the Toy Major Dinosaurs page.

You don't need to feel sorry about it. Actually, I admire the fact that you even check for marking on figures being sold on E-Bay. I've been using this method to understand how some Toy Major are grouped and it is not always easy to see the markings.
I'm also glad you managed a way to update the page in gallery mode. Anyway, if you ever find difficulties, just pm me.

It is a very, very long process: I write down every word in "edit source" on pieces of paper to copy them word by word on each page I create. With all the {}, the [[]], the | and the -. It takes quite some time to do so. But that is the only way I can do it since the changes in the programming of the page.

Oh, that's a tedious process. I will remember to use simpler layouts in pages you're working on instead of turning them into galleries before their completion.

I have got to do it this way. I tried everything else but ut all went kaput. Copying each letter and sign is the only way that succeeds.
