It's prob about as likely as if we ourselves asked an employee to do the same for us..only one time has that worked for me when a guy was re-filling the machines and I begged it out of him..lol
It seems they are only available at that museum....like that darn Fukuiraptor I've been after...lol

I hope you're including me in those counts Blade. I'd like all 3 of them. I found a picture of the machine or one similar (hey that kid has my Nipponites ): I'll email the web master and see if he can pass me on the the store somehow as well. Maybe somehow one us can pester someone enough to get a group buy going. sbell: How did you get yours or who was the source? Cheers

Cheers I got mine from Ebay--the source was CHR747 or some such thing (he frequently has Dinotales stuff on there). Haven't seen any for a while though. I do know that when they first hit the auctions, they were selling for upwards of $40 each; I managed to get mine for $6 or $7 each because I held off long enough to let the furor die down, but not long enough for them to disappear completely.

Thanks sbell. $40 - the markup on that is ridiculous. $6 - I guess that isn't bad but still they only cost $2.50.

Thanks a ton, Blade! Let us know how it goes - I'm also happy to chip in to cover any duplicates that get purchased in the process of acquiring the ammonites.

Which Fukuiraptor? There is two of them it seems.

Post by tomhet on Aug 21, 2008 3:18:45 GMT
Yup, that one. $25 seems high; then again, it's the only way to get it

Not to seem greedy but I'd like both...lol but considering the size of them I think 25.00 plus the ship fee is a bit much..If I could find them for 10.00 or so that would be alright.

^^^ Are they the same size as the dinotales set or are they bigger? For $25 bucks I hope they are a lot bigger. One day I'm sure you'll track one down.

I think they are 4-6" or so I was told...so a bit bigger.a dinotales figure is usually around 2-3" ...still 25 each plus ship.. :? I updated my list on the first page with everyones name and the numbers they want...if I'm off just let me know.

They are Polystone figures, I believe, so they are bigger, and heavier, but don't look much like Dinotales figures, As well, they do not come in pieces like most Dinotales either, so they are only loosely connected with that series (but they are made by Kaiyodo). I personally would never pay that much for those figures.

I really liked the idea of Japanese dinosaurs though..and the Fukuiraptor looks a lot like an Allo to me... ;D I'm hoping some other toy company will make more affordable pieces later on...asian dinosaurs have been given a lot of attention..so I'll keep my talons crossed.. a 7-8" figure for 10.00 would suit me better..

Well some bad news guys...they are as random as I thought...here is the message from my friend : " Hello. I challenged "Gashapon". I was good first! The dinosaur has come out continuously! However, a dinosaur did not come out halfway. I gave it up. Number Quantity No.1 2 No.2 1 No.3 1 No.4 3 No.5 1 No.6 3 No.7 1 No.8 0 No.9 2 ---------------- 14 1:Gashapon(14 set) is 51 usd. All Gashapon is sent. Because it is unnecessary for me. " So I only have one of those Ammonites and 2 of one Futaba and 1 of the other if I don't count the two plesiosaurs I was after...and if that's all we get to make up for the others he had to get they are going to be 16.75 USD each... if he had kept going who knows what it would have taken...sigh..so I can't blame him really. Let me know what you guys want to do...I'm not sure how to do this..that price includes shipping to me..so it would be a few bucks more to get them to you guys here in the states. I'm really sorry..
