  Hurra! My Alamosaurus will be sent next week.

Did you get an explicit message that stated this? I have ordered from Lana Time Shop and they sent the message about payment of the shipping costs last Thursday, but did not send some more specific information about the shipment. But they posted a message on their Facebook page that they would begin shipment of the Alamosaurus next week. So I would simply assume that this will happen next week as well.

 I guess you're right. Because the shipping payment procedure was a bit strange this time I sent them a message asking if everything was alright with mine.
 In the answer they mentioned the shipping date.

Amazon dealer Wanyha has the Alamosaurus for $179.99 with delivery by January 31--Febuary 14.

HLG official Amazon store had 4 of each color up this morning but it was 10.00 more than Lana was for me. 180.00 Amazon HLG store vs 170.00 Lanatimeshop.

 It's very unusual, but this time we're lucky here in Germany. I paid USD $138.00, shipping included.

And this is EMS shipping, which is typically pretty fast and reliable. In any case, Lana Time Shop always does an excellent shop in packing their shipments. I never had any transport damage. They consistently use foam inlays for any figure they ship, also for custom made resin models. And they reinforce the corners of larger packages. I have already a considerable collection of these corner reinforcements that I reuse when I ship models for custom painting.

What a gorgeous bunch of sauropods. Also huh, never new the PNSO Amargasaurus was like the size of their Parasaurolophus (although longer). It's a bit outdated now, so I hope either Haolonggood will put out a new one with the full sails, or PNSO remakes it. I'm really due for one in my collection.

Haolonggood's Alamosaurus is such a beautiful beast. If only I had the shelf space for something like that (well in the meantime), never-mind all the saving up to afford it in the first place, lol. I also like PNSO's quite equally as well.

Edit: Still need to pick up their Apatosaurus, and Rebor's Diplodocus at some point too.

Are the full sails confirmed for Amargasaurus or just in vogue again?  I have maybe three Amargas, Safari, Battat, Sega but never bought the PNSO.

I would say of those three get the Rebor first it's just likely to be retired or sell out before the others I would imagine?  I just saw Luis Rey say it was the best sauropod toy he's encountered if you need encouragement

This 2022 paper seems to have a lot of supporting evidence in favor of the sails, but who knows if it will be challenged in the future from new evidence or whatever. Honestly while I could live with either interpretation (and PNSO's seems to be a mix of both), I do find the sail hypothesis the more appealing of the two.

I would say that unlike you have a huge house with a lot of space there is only one option in the long run for collecting dinosaur models, i.e. restrict yourself to either just models that you find absolutely beautiful or to restrict yourself to a group of dinosaurs. I have restricted myself to essentially herbivores (with very few exceptions) and this way I can afford to get some large sauropods. This would not be possible otherwise.

I like both theories myself too. Sails seem so fanciful and an exotic edition. Spines sort of make it seem more like a fighter or aggressive. I read how it could have rattled the spines at attackers and that just seemed really cool to me.

Here comes the first part of the DinosDragons review:

[Concavenator]

A member from Paleofiguras' group said they directly asked HLG the size of the Edmontosaurus and they said it will be 29 cm long.

I ordered it back in December and got a text message yesterday saying it was ready to ship. Slow sea shipping was $35 and faster air shipping was $85. I opted for the cheaper option. I hope the text message was legit - the link they provided took me back to AliExpress and they mentioned the date I placed the order.

[Samrukia]

could someone please remind me what is the original price without shipping

[thomasw100]

Lana Time Shop sent me the shipment confirmation and tracking number today. I am so excited. In particular because I will be getting the limited edition plain version of which not too many in hand pictures have been seen.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

89.99 ?

I feel like I saw 80.00 at one point though?

I checked and I paid 89.99 on 9 December, which was very shortly after the pre-order opened.
