Dino Riders Brontosaurus with Serena, Ayce and Ion review!

The biggest Dino Rider ever created and one of the most expensive. The series two Brontosaurus is an example of how awesome 1980s toys truely were.

thanks man, you brought me back to christmas, 30 years ago

[@JuanRamirez-fx3tf]

I still have it. I bought it instead of a Nintendo lol.

Absolutely beautiful collection 🦕🦖

[@Akbal25]

It was common in Mexico I had it, such an amazing toy!

[@ZombieOmega]

Good review. Just a little fun fact, the small red clip attachment for the crane is meant to clip onto the red mines.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Dino Riders, M.A.S.K, Transformers were good toy lines to collect for as the prices have skyrocketted as its very difficult for them to do reissues of the toys due to cost and complexity. However with M.A.S.K supposidly now getting a possible reissue (No idea how close to the original they will be though) there is hope for Dino Riders / some more complex Transformers.

[@christopherjordan6235]

Fun fact: Prior to its reclassification in 2015, Brontosaurus was once a junior synonym for the earlier discovered Apatosaurus which is its closest relative alongside Diplodocus.

I had this as a kid. The most awesome toy ever. Also from Australia. I'll have to ask my parents how they hell they got their hands on it 😅

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

Wow, I would of died to have it as a kid. I never saw it in Australia back in the day. If you find out where your parent’s bought it from, please let me know.

ooooo i need that guy what a beauty

[@douglasbrownell2704]

Start once in Little Rock Arkansas in like 1989. This is the only item of the Dawn Riders toy line I didn't own. Unfortunately none of the Dino Riders Ice Age series made it to Tulsa Oklahoma ever.

[@masterboy81]

An awesome toy and a great review of this toy as well. I have this Brontosaurus toy my self. :-)

[@lulkows9665]

My grandmother bought this for me at toys r us when I was 5. Sold it in a garage sale when I was in my early teens unfortunately. Just found one near complete with the box at a local.toy shop for 1K. Making payments on it now and hope to pick it up in a month or so.

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

Wow that’s awesome you were able to experience that as a kid, what a great present from your grandmother. You will remember that forever. I glad you were able to buy another, 1k is a good price. They are not easy to find these days.

[@biske85]

I only have the bronto and Serena. Lost the rest of the parts when i was a kid. Both are in pristine condition, though

[@capatialvinjohn2753]

I imagine getting a loose Brontosaurus Armor in eBay & placing it in one of the new Jurassic World Sauropods...

[@cobra.x666]

AWESOME BRO 🦕

[@questionblock8949]

A masterpiece that i will never obtain 😫

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

Unfortunately it’s so pricey and hard to find, never lose hope.

[@questionblock8949]

I could be a step closer now hopefully 🦕👀

[@grandiosa86]

Awesome set! I have given up on this one to be honest, but hope to get the Brontosaurus at least. I just realised today bud that Ursus has the proper Serenas dress with red over arms like in the cartoon. Something.

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

Yes, the brontosaurus is the jewel in the crown of any collection. I never noticed Serena’s dress colours in the cartoon. I wish they had more female characters.

[@grandiosa86]

@@retrodinosaursandmore8294 Yeah, that is just an insane piece! Her dress is exactly like the Ursus figure, think it came out in a Series 2 2-pack.

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

Exact just another colour variant, like so many of them.

[@grandiosa86]

@@retrodinosaursandmore8294 The Ursus one is exactly how she looks in the cartoon, so that took me by surprise.

[@chayftonjohnson7425]

Saw one on ebay one day a few years back for $250 and no one bidded on it, and I was broke. Got reposted and sold for over $1000 bucks. So pissed I had no money at the time.

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

I made the same mistake too many many years ago. Back pre 2010s Dino Riders were still cheap, I was too busy wasting money on Star Wars Lego. Only if we could go back in time.

[@1985Link]

How long ago did you buy this and if you don’t mind saying how much did it cost?

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

Hi I bought it about 5 years ago I paid about $700.

[@1985Link]

@@retrodinosaursandmore8294 I should of started then, it goes for twice that much now beat to hell and half of its parts missing

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

I know the prices are insane now, series 3 is even worse.

[@1985Link]

@@retrodinosaursandmore8294 I have the Rex, Diplo, Deino and Packy so far that are complete/no damage, not boxed or mint condition though, I have a few more I’ll get before I’m done, spent $2200 AU so far, bought my first 2 months ago

[@retrodinosaursandmore8294]

Awesome man, it’s a great hobby to get into. Slowly slowly you can always add and complete the collection. Only if we could go back in time and pick them all up cheap before they were so collectable.
