Susannes new Starlux in 2013, - update July 2015 , Wisent :-D

Starlux seems to me to become more and more madly expensive, -except those that are sold by people who will not sell outside France, - or who charge ridiculous prices for shipping  

But nevertheless, I have succeeded to get a few little models this year  

A dog and some tiny birdies

Allow me to show close-ups :
A poor, lonely rooster...I hope to find a little family for him some day

I love him, broken leg and all

Wonderful new friends to your collection Susanne! I especially love the dog and the reindeer.

Wonderful figures Susanne!! I love them all. But I especially love the Badger and the ducks too! Congratulations!

Thankyou, dear friends

And thankyou, Jarda, - OF COURSE, - we call them Musk-ducks, only I have only seen them in white, but the red over the beak is there

Those are charming as always. Starlux has the real character once they are characteristic.
I checked the heron on Kiki's website and it is a goliath heron, I also find there a Clairet zebra that looks like yours. About the little rodents, I think they are marmots. Unless the right one looks clearly, the other is maybe a crazy marmot or something similar that wasn't studied yet.

Oh wow they're fab Susanne, congratulations I love the crowned crane and dog

Great newcomers Susanne!! I love reindeer and crane and all others. (o)): (o)): (o)):
t's also interesting to know about this breed of ducks, I haven't seen them before I think
I also think these small brown animals would be marmots. :)

BIG congratulation Susanne It is a very nice batch (o)):

Absolutely right Rogério

I'm still fascinated of the pose of the marmot, somehow full of positive energy and...life!

Great models and yes would agree that the ducks are Muscovy ducks! :)

Thankyou all !!! It is such an immense joy to share with you

Thankyou very much, Roger, for identifying them

I began googling to see pictures of the Goliath Heron, and found THIS page, - and suddenly discovered that I had spent hours looking a photoes - my poor horses thought I had completely forgottent them, and got their breakfast almost an hour too late

Fabulous additions to your collection Susanne. Love the fact that Starlux included a wider range of animals than most other ranges.

The only Starlux items I have are soldiers and a building from my daughter's former farm collection!

Thankyou, Chris

Today I got five new, old prehistoric Starlux

Great additions Susanne!
I really like the reindeer.

Nice new batch Susanne, those retro little guys are so fabulous

Nice new oldcomers Susanne

There is no stars like Starlux ones.
Do you want character, a unique design, diversity... so you have Starlux!

Wonderful starlux figures Susanne!! I love the little Ceolophysis.

YESSSS !!!!
If one should judge from the buy-now-prices on Ebay, I did some REAL bargains here :

American spirifer
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A gorgeous Euparkeria may not be rare, but I was never able to get one at a reasonalbe price before
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The Eusthenoteron. I adore this model
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The platybelodon !!!
I have been searching for it for ages, isn`t it a fantastic model ?
This one is still in the bag...I am not sure it it is good or bad..in one way I don`t like to break the bag. But I also want to hold the critter in my hand ...hmmm
