Okay, nobody can pay attention because I don't have pics. Fine.

We're paying attention, but pics would surely boost appreciation, since words alone don't do the Papo Spinosaurus justice. 

Even the Animatronic Spinosaurus is inferior compared to the large Tyrannosaurus rex toys from JP and TLW. The teeth are rubberised and way too small, and it has those completely unattractive gaping wounds on its body.

The gaping wounds on the JP3 dino toys have always been my biggest pet peeve. Speaking for myself, I don't want dinosaurs that look like they're about to collapse and die from what are clearly lethal injuries. The JP and TLW toys, by contrast, came with those nifty pieces of skin to patch up their wounds.

All true. It's detestable that despite all the re-issuing of these figures Hasbro never bothered to cover up those wounds. At least the JP 2011 protos showed progress since they did sport removable dino damage wound patches.
I agree the Animatronic Spinosaurus is still imperfect, but hey, at least there's one big JP dinosaur figure around that ISN'T a T-Rex! 


BTW, just returned from the bi-annual collector's fair. Spotted several older Schleich figures, including a Shonisaurus. All rather pricey (25 euro for the Shoni), so I left them there. I might regret that decision where the Shoni is concerned though, even though I already have one.

Jurassic park Figures are toys of my chilhood with Dinoriders and I think that JP and TLW:JP are best to JPIII figures because the firts have better models, better colors and better materials than the Hasbrosaurus. I like the Spinosaurus and the other figures but I think that the Hasbrosaurus of JPIII like as zombies with these damages and I dont like this .

Well I don't know how to post pics from my Ipod touch.

just ask an adult in your household to assist you who's fairly internet/tech savvy.

After all the delays, not being in stock, I FINALLY HAVE THE PAPO SPINOSAURUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, nobody can pay attention because I don't have pics. Fine.

Nope, that's not a picture issue I guess. I've got 3 Battats at once and posted a photo in here a couple of days ago and got only one comment. That's just a matter of how lazy people are to post comments on your new acquisition. Sometimes you put a photo of a wonderful or rare model/figure and nobody cares, sometimes you post a simple weird looking chinasaur and gets tons of comments. One thing I have noticed is that usually when people have a figure, they loose interest in it quickly, so when somebody gets it they are like "oh well, another person got that too...whatever". I usually comment on other persons acquisitions, but mostly so when it's a rare find and also when it's something I want, so I ask where or how they got it.
The Papo Spinosaurus is an awesome model I have it too, but it's so common and it's been around since 2007 (5 years!!) that most people already got it. Thus the amount of responses to your new figure is practically none. Pay attention, every time a Papo BRachio pops up, at least one person talks about it... it's new, exciting. That's why

EDIT: Already 100 pages!!

[Bokisaurus]

Finally got some of these figures for less than $30
[





And plays well with CollectA's Koreaceratops family,too the bases even match perfect!

And they both go nicely with the two Fuki's 

[Ikessauro]

Nice find Boki, I wish I could get them for a low price like you... That striped theropod is specially cool, what's species is it? I know I've seen it around, but can't remember the name.

[Jetoar]

I like Szechuanosaurus .

[alexeratops]

OK, here is that spinosaurus I got.  It's my first pic that is not a scan.

A very cool pic I might add. I like the light a lot.

Congratulations friend for your new acquisition  .

These are really beautiful models. Where can I get them for a reasonable price?

[postsaurischian]

Where can I get them for a reasonable price?

Unfortunately nowhere.
Sorry for having said that, but you must be very lucky to get one of these for a reasonable price ..... on the other hand, you never know . I was lucky.
Best option would be to get a lot of them from one single seller through jauce.com .

Today, my father has bought in a flea market a Wild Safari Great White Shark for a one euro to me

Hum, too bad. What's the average price for one of those Helge?

[postsaurischian]

Hum, too bad. What's the average price for one of those Helge?

I didn't pay more than USD 30,- for any of the four I have.
Some eBay sellers try to sell them for about USD 100,- but that's definitely too much.
I was also offered the Psittacosaurus back then, but was foolish enough to leave that one out . [slapping myself in the face a few times] Of course it's still missing!

Sadly, even on Jauce they are getting more expensive--there have been a few complete sets that went for quite a bit, and a few partial sets (that's where I got my Szechuan and Chiang--they were reasonable once).  But they seem to be selling for more (possibly for resale on ebay, where they seem a little more common, but way more expensive).

Plus, with Jauce, the added fees can make the high price even worse...

Thanks guys for  all this info. I guess I'm gonna have to pay a lot if I wanna get them anyways. I'll end up buying them on Ebay since I never could learn how to buy through Jauce... Just gonna look for prices in the range of 30 to 50 bucks, otherwise I'll not have them .
