I'll have to check my mail box this week...and subscribe for the next year for that matter...
Thanks for the link by the way - it will be interesting to see if it brings in more visitors.

Just thought I'd let those here know that the new issue of Prehistoric Times is out- got a few emails from collectors who had seen my ad in it- anyone here have the issue yet?  Yes I got it yesterday. You list six models: T-Rex, Dilophosaurus, Muraenosaurus, Parasaurlophus, Tylosaur, and Indricotherium. Are these ready for purchase? Also why is the Indricotherium the most expensive since it isn't the biggest? Mike Fredericks also mention Malcolm's line in his What, New in review column including pictures. He says" Malcolm's figures are well done and while scientifically accurate, somehow have the look of dinosaurs from our youth too." It also says Malcolm will offer models of each featured dinosaur/prehistoric animal for each future issue of PT. Malcolm's ad (Fauna Casts) also mention the Dinosaur Toy Blog and our input on his sculptures. This is a big plug for us. Also of note Joe DeMarco is selling his entire Dinosaur collection for $50,000 dollars. It's out of my price range but I hope Boki will latch on to it so we can keep it in the family, (Dinosaur Toy Blog) so to speak. Also Bell has an ad in the classifieds. |

I actually made a mistake in my ad that I didn't catch- I reversed the prices of the Indricotherium and the Tylosaurus -oh well it will all even out I guess- I had sent in the ad before the deadline of Mar. 10th- i had anticipated having all of the figures listed finished by publication- I am very close to issuing the Para and the Indri- the Tylo is very close to posting of 'finished' photos for critiquing, then the mold would still have to be made before I can issue it- sorry for the delay- I got a little sidetracked by other new figures in development- especially the supersaurus which sort of took over my attention once I got it started- always had wanted to make a sauropod- |

Ho Hum.  |

I picked up issue 88 this past week, this is by far my favorite magazine ever. And sorry, ot, but blackdanter--do you like Fortean Times? I want to subscribe but seems expensive, I'd like to know if you think it's worth it. |

I want to subscribe but seems expensive, I'd like to know if you think it's worth it. I've been reading it for some 10 years now. guess I'm addicted ;D It is getting to be expensive but I'm obsessed with lifes oddities (and strange deaths ;D). I also use it as a sign post to interesting science stuff, new animal discoveries and historical strangeness. So for me it's like Readers Digest on acid ;D The UFO stuff is quite minimal which suits me as it tends to bore me somewhat. Interesting article this month on Titanoboa cerrejonesis (42-45 foot long with a 3 foot 4 inch girth  ) ..................... that's a hell of a prehistoric snake! |
