Excellent news!

Speaking of unexpected delays,

Not sure if anyone has been following the news, but dock workers at ports on the East and Gulf coasts of the US approved a strike this morning, which is sure to cause delays, the severity of which has yet to be seen. Could be a minor hiccup, could be a major issue.

Just a timely reminder that delays happen and often they are beyond the control of any one manufacturer.

Not a good thing.  Especially at the moment. Our region is in pretty desperate need of everything to rebuild after the hurricane and this could be very bad for us.

Well, good news on that front. Port employers offered a wage package more commensurate with cost-of-living increases, so the union suspended the strike already!

On an off-note, people here in Wyoming have already been buying the heck out of toilet paper because of the potential strike, even though a strike won't likely affect availability. I find it is mildly amusing how TP is always the first thing to fly off the shelves during a "crisis". I know people who bought literally cases of TP during the covid pandemic and then were upset when the stores wouldn't take it back, LOL.

Anyways, I need to get an order for a Saltasaurus or three in anyhow.

Yes, no ifs, ands and buts about that!

I just purchased some birthday presents for my kiddo today and when I got to checkout the prices were massively reduced. Apparently Safari is having a 30% off sale until the 14th. Great timing! Don't bother with the 10% welcome discount tho; can't double dip.

Austroraptor and Osprey are expected soon (hopefully sometime in November).

Most of the other items are expected before the end of the year, but the usual caveat about unexpected delays applies.

I needed this good news today :)

I think that I'm basically liking Safari's Saltasaurus, except perhaps the hind claws which look too conspicuous for my taste. I'll probably repaint them to make them blend in more subtly. Any sense of what the scale might be? It will be interesting to compare it in hand with my old Carnegie and Schleich figures.

Wow, what a poor quality review.

Until I finally get my hands on it, looking forward to Austroraptor/Utahraptor comparisons!  :)
