Collectibles by Topic
"The collector is an artist in his own way, by the way he puts things together. You can read a person's soul from their collection."
Ayers Tarantino, Art and Antiques, Dec 2008

 
This section of The Dinosaur Fan presents sets by topic (a.k.a., subject) into which they fit. I define the term topic to mean the general subject or title of the sets (e.g., Extinct Life, Jurassic Park, Dinotopia, Walking with Dinosaurs). I created these topic groupings for summary and reporting purposes and have done my best to associate sets as logically as possible. However, many sets contain items with varying topics and therefore are included in the counts of multiple topic listings.
