It's extremely minor, but I am slightly annoyed that you have to mouse over things to see whether they're in stock. Before the 'coming soon' items were clearly labeled at a glance.

One of Safari's finest work yet imo.

PrimevalRaptor

Oh wow. That is a stunning figure, definitely a must buy if you ask me (especially considering this is still a toy)

Paleo Flo

Nice sculpt and color.

I just don't linke that the arms, hands, claws, legs, feet and nails have all the same black colour.

Oh, it's a bit smaller than I expected but I really like it! I've been waiting for a good Austroraptor.

Small enough to scale with the Utahraptor maybe?

The Austroraptor measures about 9 inches, while the Utahraptor is about 9.5 inches, so they should scale reasonably well together.

Primeval12

Oh, not that tiny then. Either way, I will be getting it :)

Thanks!

With the free shipping threshold up to $100, I might wait until Happy Hen or some other retailer stocks that Saltasaurus.

"The cat's out of the bag, super excited to show off this Megalosaurus toy sculpted for SafariLtd! Happy 200th name day, Megalosaurus!! Word is it should hit shelves early next year."
- Kieran (@hellbendermodel)

Guess we now know who sculpted the Megalosaurus! Hoping to see more from Kieran in the future, both his extinct and extant sculpts are stunning.

Nanuqsaurus is expected in stock before the end of the year, hopefully some time in October or November.

That's so cool! I have one of his fish sculpts, and it's incredible. I too hope we see more from him.

I'm guessing the Austroraptor will also end up being an early 2025 release.

Didn't he sculpt the fish I said looked like a floater when it fell?

If there are no unexpected delays, Austroraptor should be in before t he end of the year.

Excellent news!

Speaking of unexpected delays,

Not sure if anyone has been following the news, but dock workers at ports on the East and Gulf coasts of the US approved a strike this morning, which is sure to cause delays, the severity of which has yet to be seen. Could be a minor hiccup, could be a major issue.

Just a timely reminder that delays happen and often they are beyond the control of any one manufacturer.
