I live across the street from a comics and collectibles shop, and while I was in there today I saw that they have a lot of JP Horizon kits. They have the Dilophosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Celociraptor and Brachiosaurus... I don't know the prices on them right now, but I will find out asap. Also, they were all new in box. The boxes weren't exactly mint themselves though. There were also Horizon kits of more vintage looking dinosaurs. I took pictures but I'll have to wait until I get home to share those. Anyhow, if there is any interest, I could arrange something to pick them up and ship them to whomever wants to buy one. There was also a Jurassic Park comic book and some JP toys. I'll have pics uploaded when I get home tonight! Anyone potentially interested?

I'm curious about the older-looking Horizon kits! Thanks for offering to keep us posted.

I'd really like the Brachio depending on the price...

Okay, so here are the pictures and prices of the kits, also the quantity (prices don't include shipping) Horizon JPs: JP Dilophosaurus - $39, x2 JP Brachiosaurus - $119, x2 JP Velociraptor - $69, x1 JP Tyrannosaurus - $229 , x2 Horizon "Original Dinosaur Series": Horizon Rex - $30, x2 Horizon Apatosaurus - $30, x2 Horizon Elasmosaurus - $30, x1 Horizon Stegosaurus - $30, x2 Signed and Numbered Ray Harryhausen poster - $50, x3 or x4 (I'll check!) JP Comic - $8.99, x1 So one more thing though. The owner of the store said that if his prices seem too high for any of you (I informed him I was going to post these on the DTF - he seemed excited lol) that he would be willing to haggle, or consider any other offers. So, if any of you guys are still interested, please shoot me some pms if you have an offer or are willing to pay for these as they are listed Thanks! Oh and I'm going to be gone on Saturday, so pardon any unread notes if you happen to get to me over the weekend.

Hey, if you shoot a lowball offer I'd be happy to see if he'd take it He does own a collectibles and comics store, so yeah... but maybe he'd take a lower offer. Haha. Is it worth it to ask? Either way, it's across the street from where I live - as long as he still has them, I'm still happy to be a middleman if you change your mind :3

I'm sure he would not accept any price that I am capable of giving right now.

Would anyone have suggestions for proper pricing for these kits? I personally don't really know what they go for, I know they're way out of my range - but if this store is over charging I'd be interested in what is a more reasonable price.

Not sure, but those prices are probably about right. The JP rex might be a little high, there's one on ebay bin for 199.95usd. I've seen the Elasmosaurus for $10.00 about a year ago. I do know that the Brachiosaurus sold for $120.00 in 1993 in stores.
