Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew how many puzzles are in the Spear's Games puzzle sets of Dinotopia and what pictures they are of. I dont know really but I think they were only printed in Australia. Thanks. Merrilyn

Wait 'till Az pops on again, she buys and sells just about anything Dinotopia related and is a walking Dinotopia merchandise encyclopedia.
I don't know much about it really... I know there are puzzles, at least one of Treetown but for the rest???

*gets all dreamy eyed* Ah... Those lovely exclusive Australian exclusive puzzles... I have two of the four 1000 piece puzzles, one of the 750, and one of the 500. If anyone has some of the ones I don't have and is willing to sell, I'll buy them! The puzzles avaliable are as follows:
1000 pieces Garden of Hope (have) The Excursion Ring Riders Tentpole of the Sky
750 pieces Seaside Romp (have) Dinosaur Parade Dinosaur Boulevard Morning in Treetown
500 pieces Skybax Rider (have) Birthday Pagent Steep Street
100 pieces Dinosaur Parade The Excursion Dinosaur Boulevard Ring Riders
60 piece tray puzzles Garden of Hope (have) Birthday Pageant (have) Treetown (have) Palace in the Clouds
It seems that E-bay is the only place to be able to get them at the present time. Some are avaliable at dinotopia.com, but those are only the 100 and 60 piece ones. Hope this helps!

You bet! There are some Dinotopia puzzles that were released by Springbok and Mattel. The problem with these is that they are no longer being made, so you can only get them on the second hand market. This is an incomplete list of the puzzles that were avaliable in America. It's incomplete because I'm not listing any puzzles that I'm not 100% sure exist. The American ones don't advertise the other Dinotopia puzzles on the back like the Australian ones do. I also have a very incomplete collection of the puzzles because I have to buy them second hand and I have had VERY bad luck with getting 'complete' puzzles that are missing one-three pieces, so I gave up on it. When I say bad luck on it, I mean it. I own two Seaside Romp puzzles (both imported from Australia) because the first was missing pieces. The second was too, but fortunately not the same ones. Same goes for my Australian Garden of Hope- first was missing two pieces, second was complete. And I have THREE Skybax Rider puzzles, first was missing pieces and the second was bought in a lot with Dinosaur Blvd, which is missing a piece. After all of that bad luck, I will only buy sealed ones, but then I don't want to open them because they won't be worth as much in my collection... :surrender: It's just easier if I don't collect the puzzles until I have the other items I want more (prints! ) 1000 piece SpringbokFestival of Children and Hatchlings (Dinosaur parade) 750 piece MattelDinosaur Boulevard Morning in Treetown 500 piece MattelBirthday Pagent Steep Street I also found this link to buy the australian 100 piece puzzles! It may be cheaper for our Aussie Dinotopians as they won't have to pay international shipping and exchange rate. www.puzzlesdownunder.com.au/index.html?target=p_2882.html&lang=en-us

Thankyou so much. I have 3 of the 750 puzzles Dinosaur parade Dinosaur boulevard Morning in Treetown I understand your issue with secondhand puzzles my DB is missing one piece and i dont know about treetown because i am yet to complete it (final year of school and kind of busy). I am from australia so it is slightly easier.

Thanks from me too, Az, now all I have to do is find 'em!
I can sympathize to a point about incomplete puzzles, I go nuts if I can't find a piece to a puzzle that I know exsists.
Oh well, such is life, I guess.
LAter!
