carnegie giganotosaurus ?

[fason]

after the announcement of the safari giga , I decided to see if I could grab a Carnegie one real cheap and fast but im only seeing the rare 60 dollar one , has it been retired?

[fason]

and it cant be the currency ,as the pnso huanghetitan  is the same price ?

[Lanthanotus]

Well, the whole Carnegie line has been retired, though some figures are still widely available, at least here in Europe via European online shops. Where are you located, Urzeit-Shop for example offers it for just 14 Euro?

[fason]

in the Caribbean, but ill try , even if shipping is a pain

[fason]

anywhere to find a translator though ?

[Lanthanotus]

Well, there's a very cheap method to ship via the German Post, it's called "Warensendung". A "Großbrief" for example may weigh up to 500 g and just costs 3,70 € worldwide. Usually shops do not ship other than magazines or such via this method as it is uninsured and provides no tracking number, however, I only once had a "loss" via this method and that was replaced by the shop (national shipment). Urzeitshop does not usually ship via that method, but it may not hurt to ask them. Thinking about it, even with international shipping, it should be much cheaper than 60 bucks (2 kg package via dhl should be like 14 €), but there may be additional customs fee.

seems everything dinos out of stock sadly , ill try the other one

[fason]

nvm ill try them both thx

[fason]

everything dino went out of stock  FAST  so after trying for a week to get the other site to work and failing, I have given up and decided to settle for the new one

[fason]

if anyone finds one out of pure luck ,  please tell me but other than that , I will say goodbye to a good figure  that I didn't even have 

[Keaton64]

At least the new one will stay standing over time (hopefully it won't bend over - looking at you, collecta ichthyovenator).  The giganotosaurus I got last year has had its left leg warp just from sitting on a shelf at room temperature.  It now falls over to the left at the slightest push despite being a tripod.  It warped so badly that at one point it could stand horizontally with its tail off the ground.  Normally people had to do the hot water treatment on it to get it to do that. 

Unfortunately, one day of standing in that position caused its leg to warp even further, and now it will fall forward if you try to stand it up that way.  I hate it, it is one of my favorite figures.  If anyone else has one, please let me know if you are experiencing the same issue.

[fason]

that sucks man , hopefully you can get a fix . I might just repaint the ws to look like the Carnegie if not fully customize it

Mine is a tenuous biped with its tail just slightly off the ground. Left to its own devices, it will either tip forward or rest on its tail. What I do is position it so that the tip of its tail is beneath that of a quadruped, which keeps it on two feet without making its legs work too hard.

Same here. My Carnegie Giga has its days. Sometimes it will fall over, sometimes it will balance on its two feet. It's a nice figure but I'm not a fan of the way it keeps tipping over. And given how rigid the figure is, a fall could break off one of its fingers or more.  Seen quite a few of these Gigas missing some digits. Thankfully mine's always leaning on another figure.
