The whole set of Sue figures (from the Field Museum) except for the Torosaurus (already have it). Also got the Dinotales Plesiosaurus and Acrocanthosaurus. The Acro's up for trade if anyone's interested.

I got this little beauty in the mail today! The awesome Papo Steppe Mammoth! Now all that's left are the Cavemen (and Campfire), Wooly Mammoth, and obviously the 2011's, and I'll have the entire Papo Prehistoric Collection!!! ;D Just now I realized that your mammoth's tusks are white! The tusks of mine are kind of brownish, as if it the tusks were covered with keratin... So we have a change on painting process of the Steppe MAmmoth. Wow really?! Can you post a picture? And the tusks are more of an off-white, but it's hard to tell in the picture.

Woah! Not only are the tusks different, but the entire paint-job is! Yours seems to have a bit more red in it's fur, as well as have a kind of shinyness to it. Mine is more of a dull brown.

Today I bought the Wild Republic Velociraptor, Diplodocus, Iguanodon & Triceratops, and Greg Paul's Princeton University Field Guide, mainly for the illustrations.

Hey, where are you guys ordering the Papo Steppe Mammoth from? I was thinking about ordering it from Amazon, but I'm afraid they might "accidentally" send me Mammoth version 2 (I really don't like Papo's newest Mammoth iteration...it looks like it was inspired by the Schleich model). I once ordered the original Papo raptor from Amazon, but they sent me Version 2, instead

I once ordered the original Papo raptor from Amazon, but they sent me Version 2, instead I actually got mine from Amazon. I get most of my figures from Amazon actually, and I've never had a problem. www.amazon.com/Papo-39703-Mammoth-by/dp/B0006280RW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1293502704&sr=1-2

Maybe mine is a first generation Mammoth, while the ones on Amazon are a newer generation whit different paint job.

Yes, don't waste your time or money from that seller on amazon that is supposedly selling the papo steppe mammoth. It turns out to be the 2009 mammoth when your get it (and then ultimately return it to them) as I found out myself. Try ebay France instead, you might get lucky!

Well I don't know what happened to you, but I got my Steppe Mammoth from them... They must have ran out of the old ones and decided to send the new one in place of it...... They fully refunded me and told me that they had no more of the older ones, so they should remove their ad from amazon if they don't want to keep refunding shipping charges....

I doubt they ran out since I only got mine last week. When did you order yours?

Schleich replicasaurus Allosaurus - not really a huge fan, but he's by far their best theropod. Also got the Macrauchenia and (strange-looking) Smilodon.

I thought you already had that Desktop Trike? Nah, I had the old version (I refer you to my review - there's a pic of the two of them together).

I got....4 new Extractaur dinosaurs: Daspletosaurus, Deinonychus, Velociraptor and Styracosaurus. The Stracosaurus looks like...eh...I don't know. It's ugly as sin. But it cost me less than a dollar, and I actually have the gun to take the DNA out so...
I also got Jaws Jackson from Jurassic Park. Complete with Baby Dilophosaurus brown/orange repaint. Aside from that...Nothing's been going on in the dinosaur world for me. I've been making measurements to add some planks on my dinosaur shelves to make more space because they are sort of full.
