I jus dunno about the cerato. It is such a distinctive animal, and this looks odd and generic. I really want to see a different angle, maybe more of a side view on the body, to get a better sense of proportions. I also want to see the head better. Aren't the teeth of cerato wildly long and gnarly/ i want to see if they convey that. Also, would like a better idea on size.. Exactly. I've also imagined the Ceratosaurus as being gnarly! :)I think the WS Ceratosaurus can benefit the most from alternative camera angles. However, it could all be wishful thinking, considering that Ceratosaurus consistently ranks as a personal favorite for several forum members---We want it to be awesome!

How come nobody has mentioned the other Safari dino offerings--little plastic eggs with individual dino babies (like the ones in the toob) inside of them? Or no mention of the oversized fossils (like the toobs but bigger) on cards? Oh, right. BUT--there is a very nice Prehistoric Sea Life poster coming. Looks like they beat Feenixx (who was supposed to have one within the last 2 years). I was wondering about those--- I really like it when companies like Safari Ltd. and, now, CollectA show examples of thinking outside of the box.... ...The Oviraptor on Nest, is a good example....and the "Dinosaurs of China", with the prepackaged fossil displays... I'm not too familiar with the background of Safari Ltd.....do you know if these novelties are released on a cyclical basis, or have they decided to go about a more conservative route? ...I also liked the Mammoth poster (I think it appeared on Safari's FB page)...Was that an original Safari contribution? Edit: I think I misread your post. It appears that you were referring to some Safari Lt.d unreleased items. Well, forthcoming products, yes.

sure they might, my dog ate a bunch of my toob figures one time and he doesn't seem poisoned yet

While looking for "Zuni-tirannus" I've found this page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MisirWorld3000#Carnegie collection where you can read this: Carnegie Collection Models(future releases) 2012 Brachiosaurus (Updated sculpt) Balaur 2013 Carcharodontosaurus 2014 Hatzegopterx Castorocauda 2015 Volaticotherium Shunosaurus Mamenchisaurus Guanlong 2016 Sinopterus (using parts of the Quetzalcoatlus model) Camarasaurus (repaint) Dimetrodon (repaint) Dilong (repaint) Giganotosaurus (repaint) Velociraptor (Updated sculpt) Protoceratops (updated sculpt) (with nest and babies) Ankylosaurus (repaint) Corythosaurus (repaint) Psittacosaurus (updated sculpt) Tyrannosaurus (repaint) Chirostenotes 2017 Kosmiceratops Utahceratops Diabloceratops As you can read, Balaur was planned to be released next year, but maybe it ws delayed to 2013. The 2016 releases are very detailed though. What do you guys think about this list?

I guess that in 2013 we will know if we can rely on this list

It sounds more like a user's personal wishlist. Generally, companies usually tend to think 18 months in advance, with respect to product development, improvising their "target" models according to market fluctuations. While, it is quite likely that Carnegie may release a Mamenchisaurus, a couple of years from now, a future release for an animal such as "Castorocauda" seems borderline improbable.
Also, "Baryonynx" is missing....

Ah, thank you for the pictures, Chuck. Sorry if I missed the link to the virtual booklet earlier.

There is always a lot of freedom when choosing the next species, and they like to be able to keep things up to date..so in the past, lines were not pre-planned. I doubt that list. (Maybe it is real in the sense of "Oh these are some dinos we are considering doing")

I know enough about the upcoming Carnegies to say this list is not accurate, and appears to be nothing more than a wishlist from a Wikipeida user's personal page. It has no more value than the wishlists our own forum members post from time to time.

Although your article was a great read, we would like to inform you that the Carnegie Dilong is not discontinued. Please when possible update your blog to reflect the fact that this great dinosaur is not being discontinued. Sincerely, Safari Ltd.

Interesting - was this November of this year? They told me back in June the Dilong was discontinued, and no longer available. Hopefully this means it'll be around a little longer.
