CollectA: New for 2025

[SBell]

I have just received the Ingentia and Furcatoceratops, they are beautiful, but I cant find Gallimimus for sale ☹️.

I don't think it's released yet. Soon maybe?

Yeah, second wave usually lands in summer, right?

I think June, so probably not long

Those are exactly the three that I zeroed in on. Having received the first two from Minizoo, I'd say that I'm delighted with them. Nice to see the butt fuzz gone off of the ceratopsian.

[ceratopsian]

The three I want too. None has reached my shores yet!

I find it interesting how the dynamics of availability and shipping unfold. Even though Australia is so much further away from Toronto, Canada than England, I can get items more readily from the former than the latter, apparently because Minizoo acquires figures from China more quickly and easily than Everything Dinosaur. At least that's my read. There may well be other factors at work of which I'm blissfully unaware, of course.

I've not heard of this UK store before but they have the Ingentia and Furcatoceratops.

That's definitely a major part of it.

It's even dumber that it's gotten so hard to get CollectA in Canada (or even North America in general) because of a terrible distribution deal several years ago.

That's something that I didn't know, @SBell . I do recollect @suspsy mentioning a number of years ago that he'd discovered a brick and mortar retailer in downtown Toronto that merchandised CollectA products, but beyond that I was ignorant of any Canadian sources, wholesale or retail.

[Concavenator]

It's finally here! 

[Halichoeres]

Wow, you got that in a hurry! Usually MiniZoo is among the first to get new CollectA figures, but they don't have them in stock yet.

[Concavenator]

@Halichoeres Snatched it up as soon as I saw it available lol. Got it off eBay, from a German store.

[ceratopsian]

Well done @Concavenator!  I'm looking forward very much to one in due course....

[Halichoeres]

In case anyone missed it, Everything Dinosaur has the full range of CollectA 2025 figures now!

Minizoo too!

I bought Collecta Ingentia, Furcatoceratops and Jaekelopterus. These are beautiful figurines. I didn't buy Maip because I didn't like the plume on the head. The movable jaw also very visible. I would prefer this figurine not to have wounds too. I didn't buy Gallimimus because it looked too much like a chicken for me.

Well after all, it is named after a chicken.

Heh, all previous Gallimimus toys were insufficiently chickenlike, if anything.

[crazy8wizard]

with Ostrich and Emu mimic I could understand the comparison (even goose mimic for that matter), but I think it's amusing how when I look at a Gallimimus one of the last animals that comes to mind is a chicken. I guess if you compare the feet?
