The Otodus megalodon is up on AliExpress too.  It looks quite a bit cheaper than Amazon.  The cheapest for the UK is currently Model toy Center at £13.96 without box, £14.80 with (to which a UK customer would need to add 20% VAT).  The other stores are around £17.50/£20 for with/without box (plus any VAT due).

I have not bought from that seller before. Have you? Recommend them? I usually go with My Online Toy Store.

Yes, I have bought from Model toy Center, including within the last few months avatar_Gwangi @Gwangi.  At least one set of my recent Haolonggoods came from them.  I usually buy from My Online Toy Store too, as usually they give the better deal for me.  But I've not had a problem with orders from Model toy Center.

The Haolonggood Dacentrurus doesn't have a tail club, just a rough tail end.  If you want a stegosaurian with a tail club, I recommend getting the PNSO Huayangosaurus.

Thanks! In this case Model Toy Center is the way to go, quite a bit cheaper than My Online Toy Store.

That Stego appears to be the 2004 version by Takashi Oda. Definitely like it better than the 2013 by Araki, though it has its virtues, despite a cartoonish paint job.

Just got in my order from AliExpress. Got the Megalodon, Dacentrurus and edmontonia. What a great figures. The Meg looks great and looks better in person than on promotional pictures. Only flaw is the red wash around its face. It's very sloppy and makes a gore impression. A bit too much imo.
The Dacentrurus is awesome. What a stunning figure, and so is the edmontonia









And finally the Meg with my own found teeth (fragments) of Megalodon (from the Antwerp area, Belgium)

I just received the message that in the near future the dinosaur figure store Speelboer in the Netherlands (https://www.speelboer.com/) will be the first and currently only distributor of the Haolonggood figures in (continental) Europe. They have just sent an information E-mail about this to all customers who are signed up to their E-mail distribution list. I have purchased several PNSO and some Nanmu figures from them in the past and was always very happy with their prices and customer service.

Very nice comparisons. The Dacentrurus fits so nicely together with the PNSO Stegosaurus and Tuojiangosaurus. I am so happy that I did order the green one as well. The Megalodon looks a bit too much Meg 2 for my taste.

Thanks. It blends in great. It's actually the Rebor stegosaurus which I find more attracting than the PNSO version(s). Nevertheless it's a great diorama. Hopefully I can upgrade my Ceratosaurus soon.

Since I collect fossil shark teeth myself this Meg is a must-have for me

That's great news. Hopefully their prices will be competitive with Ali otherwise I'll keep ordering these in China (although I live in Holland, same as Speelboer) I've spend 60 euro for those three figures and was delivered within 11 days. Worth waiting for if much more expensive

I'm not on their E-mail list, so this is excellent news. They are my go to for Nanmu, PNSO and BotM.
I'm very happy they will be selling this brand as well.

Does this store ship abroad? I put few items to the basket and put Poland in addres section to see how much shipping would cost, but the only option that shows up is the free 'Pick up in Duvien' option.

Quiversaurus

Thanks for the comparison pictures, avatar_Erwinonychus @Erwinonychus . The Dacentrurus really looks wonderful next to its PNSO and Rebor counterparts.

Also, that PNSO Allosaurus is looking good, it's next on my to-get list (is there a wishlist function on here haha)!

Alright, yep I just changed my mind about the Dacentrurus. Switched to the green variant, thank you for more comparisons!

Erwinonychus

Since comparison photos are being appreciated, two more  ^-^

The store should ship at least to any EU country. I am in Germany and have ordered a few times from them now. Have you created a customer account? Maybe this is required for international shipping.
