Thank goodness they're keeping the Dilong, it's one of my favorites! ;D
Anyway, the only company we haven't heard from yet is Bullyland. Has anyone heard anything from them regarding next year's figures, or lack there of?

I'm really excited for Safari's dinosaur line-up. And I mean REALLY excited. I feel those dinosaurs needed better figures, and they finally made a good lookin' Ceratosaurus and a better Acrocanthosaurus. And I can't tell you how excited I am for that Brachiosaurus.

On Wikipedia. Where, in theory, people can gather to check facts and share real information. Isn't that what personal blogs (or pointless wishlist threads on forums) are for? I'm glad to see that their principles are being upheld well. Or rather, I am glad that I have not (nor will ever) fall for their little money-beggings at the top of the screen.

No need to be so rude to him sbell... Well, concadont, if only the Carnegie Museum thought like you do! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) What an awesome list, but thank you for clearing it up as being just wishes. Part of me still hopes that Carnegie will catch us all off guard and release a second figure next year anyway.

You don't seem to understand the difference between an article and a personal user profile page... One is part of the encyclopedia and turns up in search results, the other doesn't. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_pageHowever, I think it's possible for user pages to turn up in google searches, so knowing that not everyone seems to know and article with user page in the title is a personal web site, it might be irresponsible not to supply context for this kind of thing. And nothing on wiki or anything else in the world should be trusted unless it lists it's sources.

Yeah, this is off topic, but I always found it ironic in college that wikipedia was (and still is) always bashed as an information source, but other websites, newspaper articles, books, etc are considered perfectly acceptable, when in reality they are all equally capable of not citing sources and supplying misinformation.

For those of us doing marking--the reason is that Wikipedia can change very quickly, and is supposed to act as a gathering of information. If an article (as it should) lists its sources, a paper should be written based on those, not the Wiki article. If it doesn't list its sources, the Wiki article should be ignored. A book, article, newspaper, etc won't change if someone else comes along (assuming that the correct edition of the book is listed!). And I didn't know there were 'user profiles'. But can someone explain why a wish list would be there? What good would that serve? And obviously, I'm not the only one unaware of such things, since another member here found the list and thought it was fact, because it was found on Wikipedia. Okay, so enough questions. Anything else fro 2012 yet?

I like the Good Luck Mini's for next year, specifically the Triceratops and Dimetrodon. I can see the resembalance in the two with the carnegies.

Hey guys
I got some info on Papo stuff, but I'm not sure if it's real or just rumors.
I know a retalier here in Brazil which buys dinos from all over the world and when I told her about the new release rex, she decided to talk to a seller in US about the new Papo rex, to check if the rex would be really a Papo release and not a custom.
This seller told her that Papo would repaint the rex, I supose that the old one will have the same color used in the second version. Also, the seller said they would release a Brachiosaurus...
I can't guarantee that this info is real, as far as I know it's just a rumor yet. Let's hope the Brachio is real. Anyone else knows about something?

Great detailing I notice, makes papos items cost a little more then other dino figures,(the allosaurus sells for $21 while the smaller Ankylosaur and Stryrachosaurus sold for $14) and if this Brachio is bigger then their largest theropods, then they might have their most expensive animal to date. That is if its real, and the retalier wasent thinking of the new carnegi model instead.

The papo rex is nice in its own way, reminds me as a mix of the JP rex and this- ![](http://www.entertainmentearth.com/images/AUTOIMAGES/WT10894lg.jpg) I cant wait to buy one, I wonder what else Papo may have in store. Gigantopictacus, that way they would have an ape to fight there new Knig Kong rex ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

So let me get this straight. Papo is supposedly releasing a repainted version of the original T-Rex and a Brachiosaurus, in addition to the Tylosaurus and new T-Rex? ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)
