Hey can you please tell me what are exactly the differences between both editions? I was thinking about getting the newest edition, indeed, but I don't know if it's worthy, owning the first one already... |

yeah sure foxilized no probs at all man, it was also my idea to find this out hehe, and they both look cool, enough diffs to recollect the one I have and that new one  All I do know is that the seller of the new one tells that it has newly added arts of new found dino's since 1981 til 2000, it's also a 20th anniversary edition of the book, which is odd because if it's 20 years old it should of been released in 2001 and not 2000, since the first one is from 1981 and not 1980. Anyways once it arrive do await many pics ;and I will try to show the new parts and other differentials.  |

Count on your fingers.  |

It is twenty if you count the year 1981 itself too -- which is as it ought to be. |

It just doesn't make sense , it's simply a 19th Anniversary Edition... Maybe some people like to take on such things different, my autism won't allow it, 2000 mius 1981 will always be 19 and never 20, I hate having Asperger Syndrome some things are impossible to accept, it's 19 years later never 20. It keeps going on and on, sigh  Only if 1981 is counted, then it's from 1980 to 2000, this would seem more realistiic if you'd ask me, maybe William Stout started the book in 1980 and completed it in 1981, thus he started in 80 ended ended his new one in 2000, as being 20 years from 1980, this would make much more sense |

Well, think about it in terms of your own birthday. If I was born in 1981 (I was ;D), I would have to count 1981 itself as my first year; I couldn't possibly discount it and consign the year to oblivion, even if I had wanted to. ;D In such an instance, it isn't simply a matter of 2000 minus 1981, the years themselves will need to be counted on their own.  True, in 2000, I would have been nineteen years old, but in reality, I would already have entered upon my twentieth year of existence (oh, golly, the horror ;D). |

I have never felt young, alas ;D (nobody is surprised ;D). And I'm afraid I have already passed through something of a quarter-life crisis; I'm sincerely hoping it was supposed to be in lieu of any other life crises yet to come, so that I may never experience another again. ;D ;D

Received the Sideshow Allosaurus VS Camarasaurus dio a few days ago... Funny you should mention that... Forgive me, for I have sinned...    That expression matches my own in terms of incredulity at what I have done... Mine came with these skulls too.  It turned up on eBay, was in the country, and open to offers. I not only saved on the cost of the model itself, but a fortune in shipping and thrice-extortionate-profanity-inducing customs fees. How could I have resisted? That said, I ought by rights to subsist on nothing but baked beans on toast for the next few weeks in recompense... |

If I was born in 1981 (I was ;D), I would have to count 1981 itself as my first year. A fellow 81er, eh? Glad I'm not the only one with a big, horribly depressing year coming up. Anyhoo, I just received Gregory S. Paul's Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs. Beautiful artwork, as always--he even uses the colored pencil look common to bird guides--but I think that Webster's has a new candidate for a portrait to go next to the word "lumper." Forget the whole Brachiosaurus/Giraffititan thing; if you like Torosaurus, Guanlong, Tarbosaurus, Suchomimus, Gallimimus, Corythosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Giganotasaurus(!), or Styracosaurus (!!), then we have a major philosophical problem because apparently you like things that don't exist. I know that I'm not exactly up on the literature, but seriously... |

That will be great, man. then we have a major philosophical problem because apparently you like things that don't exist. I know that I'm not exactly up on the literature, but seriously... Honeslty I can't see any problem on that. I can't understand why ppl became so crazy about "oh my god they are going to steal dinosaurs from our lives" LOL. It's like feathered raptors, the naked raptors of JP will always exist, as fictional ones. Now seems that ppl needs their loved things to be real, not to be fictional. Well, you definitely have a problem but it's actually a problem accepting ficiton and understanding what fiction means. Ultimately, any dinosaur lover loves something that doesn't exist. ;D Needing a scientific come to tell you something existed once for you to feel good loving it... seems kinda twisted.  C'mon, don't you love Batman too? ;D |

Tyrannosauron - where does he lump Giganotosaurus? Surely not into Carcharodontosaurus?

Wow Himmapaan, great buy! I should not look at the photos too long or I'm the next in line living on baked beans (or similar stuff) for a while... ;D I received CollectA Jobaria today. And this one:  Thylacofmiluf by Fean Cooper. Fe teef are ftill not glued on fough. ;D No, that wasn't appropriate, sorry. Actually the model has incisor teeth which it shouldn't have. Strange. Anyway, what's a dremel tool good for? |

True, in 2000, I would have been nineteen years old, but in reality, I would already have entered upon my twentieth year of existence (oh, golly, the horror ;D).
