Quote from: Carnoking on November 06, 2024, 08:14:55 PMI've been wondering that myself as I have the Huanghetitan on my shelf at the moment (though he may have to go away to make room for this guy) but I'm not sure this photo is very telling. It looks like the Argentinosaurus is further forward on the shelf so it's hard to say for sure how they size up to each other in a more straight on comparison

I would think that PNSO Huanghetitan has somewhat unusual proportions. Skeletal reconstructions for example by Nima Sassani show proportions which are more typical for titanosauriformes.

I mean to be fair the neck in that skeletal is boneless speculation. Not without justification, but it's not like we know what huanghetitan's proportions were... Not that it matters to me, as mines been standing in for Patagotitan for years, with the knowledge that yes, the neck is too short.

 It's an e-mail that says in the reference line that you've left something in your cart. I almost overlooked it.

My email had the subject line "Subject: Shipping Options for Your HAOLONGGOOD 1:35 Scale Argentinosaurus Model". The sender for mine was different than other Lana Time emails I'd gotten ([email protected]), it went to my junk mail folder so I'm glad I saw this thread!

If you ever have a problem just email or message them on FB, Ziyao Jiang is quick to reply and help.

Part 2 of Dinos Dragons review.


Paleo Flo

After whatching the review of DD I'am really indecisive.
The blue color is not my cup of tea. But the sculpt is fantastic. Really like it.
Which I don't like is, that it dwarfs all the other sauropod I own 1:35. Of course it has to do that because it's one of the biggest lifeform that walked the earth, I know. But so it outshines the other HLG big bros like Mamenchisaurus and Apatosaurus, which were definitv not small.
It's a kind of weird feeling for me. And in total 320-330 €...it's a big amount of money....decisions, decisions.

Any news on the new release (presumably Utahceratops) from HLGD?

I guess they have to first clear the factory of the hundreds of Argentinosaurus they have produced for the first batch. Lana told me that they have sold already about 300 Argentinosaurus. Probably not only collectors do have a space problem with these giants I would think.

Wonder how that number compares to other releases. Sorting the page by bestselling puts the Argentinosaurus at the top of the list but 300 seems like a low number for that to be true.

Lana told me that this parameter is calculated by sales volume, i.e. as number of units sold times price of each unit. This explains why more expensive items my feature higher up when sorting products according to "Best selling".

I still need to see proper renders of the green final product to make my decision  :(

Flaffy

I wonder how many sales of the Argentinosaurus were required just to break even.

I think DinosDragons mentioned that Haolonggood needed to sell at least 400 units to break even on the Argentinosaurus

ceratopsian

He did indeed say he had been told this. But it was unclear how reliable his source was or how they came by the number.

If Shantungosaurus and Mosasaurus are indeed coming soon from Haolonggood, I wonder what happened to their planned theropods? :-\

Seems like we're due for a new reveal.
