 :o What a rip-off!!
US $379.99 for a figure that costs about US $40.00 at the Fukui Dinosaur Museum's shop.
That's pushing it a bit :P.
I would (could) never buy from 'fantgoodspeed'.

I've fixed the link.

Another crook ::). This one is from Mexico.

unofficial Dinoland Stegosaurus re-cast


Did they really re-cast it in resin ????
They're using Marilyn's and my pictures without asking >:(.

Oddly, I noticed that their listing for the Kaiyodo 1/35 Tyrannosaurus has photos for the 1/20 "striding rex" as well (which were also stolen). Can they not tell the difference betwen the two kits? They're not hard to tell apart.

Can this guy be reported to eBay for selling fakes?

You would likely need the original artist to come forward with a complaint in order to get much action...HOWEVER ....Helge could definitely force him to remove the photos that belong to Helge, as that is theft of property as well.
Authors with varying competence have suggested dinosaurs disappeared because of meteorites...God's will, raids by little green hunters in flying saucers, lack of standing room in Noah's Ark, and palaeoweltschmerz—Glenn Jepsen

If you check out his other dinosaurs, he has also taken photos from Blackdanter and myself.

I've sent the seller a message. Let's see what he/she will do.

that is clearly not allowed by ebay rules and you can force him to remove them or they will remove his sales, he cannot do that, regardless.

The seller didn't answer, but stopped the Stegosaurus auction.
I will watch this C:-).

Half the sellers never answer. O:-)
Walking With Monsers:
[about Lystrosaurus] Astonishingly, their vast herds make up more than half of all life on Earth. Never again will a single species do so well.

Walking With Monsters: (Hynerpeton) To avoid injury the males demonstrate their strength  in a strange  push up contest.

It's a Parasaurolophus/90s Velociraptor hybrid! :p

Pararaptor. Someone needs to get that and skulpt a killer claw onto the back feet.

*edit* Are those arms even right for 90's velocirptor? The hands look upside down, and there appears to be a joint-but-not-a-joint in the middle of the humerus.
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

stargatedalek

the 2 front legs seem to have been swapped, whether this was the fault of the person who assembled it or perhaps this is a poorly made bootleg I can't say

tyrantqueen

Reminds me of the Geoworld Parasaurolophus:





Surely they goofed and put the arms on the wrong way round.


DinoLord

That one was a forum member's listing. Another forum member bought it, though I forget which one.
