Having stoutly said on @Halichoeres' thread that I wouldn't buy the NHM Patagotitan, I proved to be made of frail stuff.  I met a friend today to look at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition and made sure I had time first to spend 30 minutes or so in the Patagotitan exhibition.  And of course exited through the shop.  My "defence" - it was reduced in the sale from £22 to £11, and with my membership discount it came down to £8.25.  So one somehow trampolined off the shelf and walked me over to the tills.  At that reduced price I was happy to take one home as an exhibition memento.  I checked carefully for paint chips and it's pretty good.

That's actually a good deal! Thanks for sharing @ceratopsian.

I went to TetZooCon in London at the begining of December, and I had a long layover in New York, so I had the chance to visit  the Patagotitan displays in both the AMNH and the NHM within a few days of each other! Since I figured this was a rare opportunity to closely compare the two, I decided to write about them on my blog.
You can read more about my thoughts with A Tale of Two Titanosaurs, but the TLDR is that the London exhibition did it better!
Too bad it's only a temporary exhibit, but at least it's going on tour!

I happened to visit with Himmapaan, who insisted on buying me a copy of the tie-in book that was sold in connection to the exhibit! I had to take a photo with my Safari model!

Thanks for posting @Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews) and I enjoyed the reviews.

Great to hear that you met up with Niroot (Himmapaan) and I hope he's well. For newer folk, he was one of the original Forum members, a talented artist and a very nice guy. I met him on the Forum's meet-up at the Museum back in 2011(?) - it's been a long time!

By the way, following Ceratopsian's tip off of the price reduction on the Titanosaur model (thanks!), I bought it after all. The little label on its foot does make clear that it is Patagotitan Mayorum, though this is not indicated on the actual figure.

They're doing fairly well! They go by Natee now, though. They still have a penchant for dinosaur models, though they have gotten somewhat tired of keeping up with social media, which is why they haven't been present in the current version of the forum for some time.

I do wonder how they'll manage to squeeze the Patagotitan into the Waterhouse Gallery though, as that display hall is just about enough for "Dippy" the Diplodocus. I guess if they managed to make it work at the AMNH, however cramped it may be, they'll find a way at the NHM.

OH! While I was there, I also bought myself a copy of the Dippy tie-in book that accompanied the skeleton's brief return to the NHM prior to the Patagotitan exhibit.

@Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews) ; Defintitely going to read your blog, thanks for sharing! I have just ordered two NHM London sauropods - their Patagotitan figure and their Diplodocus/Kentrosaurus- set. Although its head is ridicuously small, I still like it.
