Tody I bought the Carnegie Carnotaurus (grey version). I'd like to get the old green version too, does anybody have it for share?  The green Carnotaurus is the new version--that one should be readily available. The Grey was retired a few years ago. Oh, really? Man, I was confused... Thing is in the store I bought the Carno, they only had the grey one. I was actually looking for the green one too and they didn't knew it existed. And, weird thing, the grey figure looks and feels as brand new! It's a weird store, they had a lot of very old Carnegie models wich look and feel as brand new editions (or re-editions maybe?). The seller told me they get new ones each week, so these figures (including the grey Carno) cannot be so retired, right? |

They may have a huge lot of them in storage that they re-stock from. Often, a company can get a good price on the retiring models, and that company (or their supplier/wholesaler) may have cleaned up while the old models were cheap, assuming that most people wouldn't really care. |

No, they are an independant very little shop. They have no storage. As the seller told me, EACH WEEK a bunch of figs are bought to the companies and imported from their countries of origin (germany, uk, france) here to the shop in Madrid.

Wow, that is an old post to dredge up. Dillon is a low-end Chinese manufacturer (generally) although they can make some decent figures. |

Lucky, you didn't have to shell out over a hundred bucks for yours haha. I'm only missing the ml sabre tooth cat and baby mammoth, someday I'll find them... Do you have a pic of the ML baby mammoth? I might have it for a trade. More pics of this little dude:   |

However, I wouldn't be too surprised if this one becomes CollectA's best selling figure this year. |

I don't like the idea that the Procon sculptor is thinking about p.enises (come on, why is that censored? It's not a profanity) whenever he's at work. Makes me want to not go anywhere near my CollectA T. rex again.

Makes me want to not go anywhere near my CollectA T. rex again. Thinking of it, maybe it's a good idea to thoroughly rinse any CollectA figure... ;D |
