Correct sir, well done! PM me to redeem your prize.

Last Call

Just got word from Sideshow that there are two remaining pieces of the Tyrannosaurus vs. Triceratops diorama statue. If you have any interest in getting them at the Dan's Dinosaurs price, PM me immediately. Other retailers have started jacking the price up already (as you can see on eBay) and once they're gone, that's the end of them.

Discount prizes won from games may be applied.

Inventory Update

Postcards signed by sculptor Michael Trcic have arrived. This is a great chance to own an authentic autograph from the creator of the Jurassic Park Tyrannosaurs, free with the purchase of any Trcic Meso-Zoo model kit.

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

He made the JP trexes?

[Dan]

That is correct. Trcic Studios is done with the dinos for now, and he's currently focused on sculptures of the American West.

I think I only received one e-mail from you, by the way. What's happening, dude?

[Dan]

Note

If you have been experiencing difficulties with the forum's PM system, and did not get a response from me, chances are I have not received it. Simply contact me through the e-mail address posted on the store website to ensure a swift response. Thanks.

The Carnotaurus sastrei is known to have the following features EXCEPT:

A. Relatively small skull and long neck
B. Protruding neural spines
C. Forward-facing eyes
D. Pebbly skin surface
E. Four-fingered hands

[Horridus]

Well, the neural spines I suppose, as it had all the others - although the skin varied of course, being mostly pebbly with various osteoderms and so on. I presume you're referring to really pronounced neural spines a la spinosaurs.

Well, being a poor student I can't really afford to have one of those things shipped from America even with the discount. Therefore I will DONATE MY PRIZE TO WHOEVER REPLIES OR PMs DAN NEXT. Aren't I really nice/a bit of a swine?

???maybe only those interested in actually claiming the prize should post an answer. I may be wrong, but posting with no intention of claiming the prize sorta defeats what Dan seems to be trying to accopmplish here in the first place?

Inventory Update



Model Kits by Salas have been added, with more on the way. Including one awesome surprise, but that's for later. Keep checking the store website for new arrivals.

Sideshow Tyrannosaurus Maquette - Now expected to ship in one month.

New Product Supplier Announcement:


New 2009 Schleich dinosaurs will be in stock within a few days. Preorder all three and receive free shipping.

[tomhet]

How big is the Brachauchenius?

[Dan]

Hm, I would guess between 6 and 12 inches. Salas is always using 1:35 scale, and that critter grew to lengths of 30 feet. I can ask him, if you'd like.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Is Maximo still sculpting dinos ? I looked awhile back for anything recent of his and couldn't find much since Saurian Studios went under.

[Dan]

You are correct. The fire at Alchemy Works destroyed many of the original molds. He is selling those that remain, and once a few more have been sold, he will start work on a new model. I'm not going to announce what it is until the plans have been finalized yet, though.

Yeah, I know, sorry about that, won't do it again. I just couldn't resist (and to be fair I did consider getting one for a bit...before coming to my senses). Still...I'm sure someone else will put the prize to good use...
