These are indeed two separate toobs, although I'm not sure which ones are together.

Collecta these miniatures are fantastic. Every day I'm surprised more Collecta. I guess in most online stores and retailers will be on sale on February (at the Christmas season). That's what I commented a distributor of Collecta.

It says right there in SBell's post which animals are in which tube.

It says, in bold, Tube 1 and Tube 2.

Tube 1: Baryonyx, Mosasaurus, Diplodocus, Kentrosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Pachycephalosaurus, Pteranodon, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus
Tube 2: Amargasaurus, Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Liopleurodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Spinosaurus, Torosaurus, Velociraptor

And I've seen the Papo tubes in stores (and catalogs). They are not worth a $30 price tag (yes, I'm biased when it comes to Papo anyway); I don't think tubes shoudl ever pass about the $15 mark, and then only for really remarkable sets. $10 to $15 shoudl be the range ($12 to $18 in Canada, I suppose, because stupid dollar).

I still don't actually know what these tubes will cost. I'm stil bringing them in to the store (would have even without the sample) but it's good to know what we're getting!

The Schleich minis are even uglier than the Papos.

I only got the Schleich Mini Herbivores and Quetz. The Carnivores were really ugly!

Well, to each their own on the Papo Minis. Haha! I think they have kind of a cool retro look to them. And I'm getting them for $21. The same price I got last year's. Although, I'm getting the CollectA Tubes for $13 each. :)

I wish they would become available already for everyone to enjoy. I love Firestreak so much. He's my favourite T. rex toy, hands down. And Paddles and Waddles are adorable.

I don't understand why it's taking so long. Perhaps CollectA is aiming to cash in on the upcoming holiday season?

This is amazing, I can almost picture a nature audiotape playing in the background with sounds of animals (e.g. birds)

I think they are supposed to release later this month, which means the distribution lag means at best they will hit stores in October. Maybe.

That's what I've been told to expect, so probably November.

The tubes are supposed to be along at the same time as well.

See, I never offer pre-orders from my store, mostly because the Canadian supplier can be unpredictable at best, unreliable at worst.

Yeah, I have 2 feathered Rex's the swimming Spinosaurus and Delux Spinosaurus on pre-order with Dan. I wish it didn't take so long for these things to get to U.S. sellers.
