That is an impressive sauropod convention avatar_Blade-of-the-Moon @Blade-of-the-Moon. How times have changed on sauropod representation! I've ordered the blue Brachiosaurus but my goodness I find the green attractive!

It really has. I do still have my older sauropods and Mattel of course, it would take entire room just to put them all  ;D  I went back and forth a lot, I think when it comes to the HLG Sauropods you can't pick a bad one. This one definitely stands out so I'm happy with it .  Maybe I should have put it up against the Safari/Carnegie Brachiosaurus, especially the later one since it feels a bit inspired by it...and JP3 of course. ;)

Has anyone's Brachiosaurus that they chose sea shipping for shipped yet? I haven't gotten a shipping notification yet and I preordered the day of release.

Do you have an account at Lana Time Shop? If so, you could check there if your Brachiosaurus has shipped. I did not get the usual shipping notification but found out through my account that my order was shipped and what the tracking number is. I think they shipped the Brachiosaurus in quite a rush just before the Chinese New Year holidays started so they may not have had time for sending the shipping notifications.

Yes I checked in my account and it has not been shipped yet, at least it doesn't say shipped. Just order placed.

I also went for the cheaper shipping and have not received a notification. Checking my account, it is listed as unprocessed. I'm all but certain the people who paid for express shipping were (rightfully) Lana's priority for fulfilling whatever orders possible prior to the holiday season. I figured this would be the case but I'm fine with waiting longer to get my figure. I'm rarely in a hurry with orders anymore plus I'm still debating whether or not I should email Lana and switch my order from blue to red  ;D

Ok makes sense thanks. I'm in no rush either I just wanted to make sure it wasn't odd that it hasn't been shipped yet.

When I ordered my brachio there was only one option of shipping to my country, something called "Standard shipping 70€". Is it that the cheaper option you are referring to? Mine was shipped and I got a notification by email, in fact it is now a few kilometres from my home in Spain, it may arrive very soon.

70.00 sounds like the the faster/more expensive option? That's what I paid.

Quote•US: $45 for Sea Shipping(Take about 65 days), $70 for standard shipping(Take about 15 days)

•Europe: $45~$80 for standard shipping(Take about 15 days)

Thanks! I didn't know because it was the only option to my country.

Same for me 70$, and lasagna brachio just arrived 30 mins ago! and WOW! what a beauty, I was afraid I made a mistake choosing lasagna over blue but oh hell, now in my hands I couldnt be happier, the paint aplication, color and color scheme is very similar to PNSO Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis one of my favs, and I love it! im not evene botered at all with those teeth that I was sure as heck I was going to remove them, they so tiny that I dont mind keeping them. I would post some photos but I dont now how to post own photos.

M @Manospundylus gigas  Your rave review of the red continues to stoke the flames of my indecisiveness!

Oh please I want to see your photos of the lasagna brachio (I would have chosen this if the real pictures had come sooner).

Thank you Duna! It works... but I messed it somehow, the images are all over the page
First of all sorry because I took them with the phone and well, someone should give me a special award because of over 20 photos I managed to not represent reality in none of them, ouch! I tried with diferent lighting, natural, natural direct sunset, and artificial neutral, and different backgrounds. I must say, the figure looks much much much better in hand than in these photos. The Brachio is way more colorful than it seems in some of these photos, for example the neck on its dorsal part is orange, real orange, then gradually transitions to a yellow and then a pale cream to the ventral part, while in some of these photos it looks like pale cream is most of the neck, in fact a beautifull yellow is in most of it. The pattern and colors in the body are much more elavorated than it looks on the photos, my mobile is unable to capture all gradients and the pattern looks more marked in the photos while in reality everything is much softer and gradual and very natural. Added PNSO Yangchu as test, for anyone who has it, they would know that it has a nice gradient on the body and various tones, however in my photo it looks simpler than it is.

Believe me lasagna Brachio is way more vibrant and with yellow tones beautifully implemented, they look natural, it really deserves the lasagna name. I would say that the photos with grey-blue fabric background best represent the real color and intensity of it, although is even better than that, with browns gradually and gently transitioning to one another, which result in a more natural look, not as abrupt as it may look from these picks.

Looks great! The 3 figures match really nicely together in the last photo.

M @Manospundylus gigas: Lasagna-Brachio looks also awesome! I guess all three versions are very good and eyecandy. Much better in person!

Thanks M @Manospundylus gigas for your pictures of Lasagna-brachio. That colour has been the greatest surprise and it looks amazing. I like all of the three.

Thanks M @Manospundylus gigas
The red variant looks great in hand! Might be time to email Lana...
