Schleich Saltasarus...worth it?

Currently I have the chance to get a Schleich Saltasaurus in new condition. Or atleast in nor played with condition, as it was only on a shelf and has the tag and little man still attached.  Would cost me about 17,10 €. Should I buy it or get myself the Carnegie Saltasaurus instead?

All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I have neither, but I plan on getting the Carnegie one. The Schleich is okay-looking, and in my opinion, worth getting if the price is right. I'm American so I have no idea how much 17,10 € really is worth.

It's a decent figure--probably better than the Carnegie (I have both). That said, I don't know if it's worth that much--the Carnegie is still pretty good, and if there's money left over for other dinos that might be something to consider.

Is the Carnegie also bigger?
17,10 € is around $21,61.

I probably wouldn't buy it then. I'm not really big on Schleich though.

After I seen a photo of the two together at one time. I can say that the Carnegie is the smallest of the two.

And in my opinion I like the schelich one better. It dosent have a cutesey little head

CityRaptor

But is it worth nearly twice the price?

No, and the size difference isn't that much.

CityRaptor

I think I will go for the Carnegie one then!

Thanks everyone!
