It was about 30 dollars to ship, this was for the guidraco along with last years mosasaur and therizinosaurus, and CollectAs quetzalcaotlus.

Probably even higher because of the size of their Guidraco! Heck, I'm even dreading what it will cost within the States! LOL! Thanks for the info!

Well people I have some bad news: In my local shop in Madrid Natural History Museum told me that Collecta will left Spain. I dont know why they left Spain. I saw many Collectas in other toy stores. The same thing happened to Safari, here.

s it true what you described RolandEden?
I am also a buyer of the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid and distributor of Collecta IMDSL with whom I contacted did not tell me anything like that at all.

On the contrary told me that dinosaurs Collecta (guidraco, Acrocanthosaurus, smilodon, Daeodon, moropus and Temnodontosaurus) would be available on mid-July.

Moreover the feathered tyrannosaurus rex and Spinosaurus three versions with new look would be available in Spain in late September, particularly in the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid.

It's got a message from the letter from the director of IMDSL Collecta distributor could show you what you told me that the boxes with mini dinosaurs of that mark would be available later this year.

They have changed my mind I wonder yet despite our economic crisis. But the fact is that truth is something else commented. Moreover online stores like Alcaicería Granada, tododinosaurios.com of Barcelona announced the news or some that are yet to come. So I wonder.

Can they reach the Museum Shop of Natural Sciences in Madrid in mid-August, as has happened so many times. In the worst cases you can get online stores as everythingdinosaur.com whose owner Mike is a very attentive and very kind person. Anyway I am surprised this change of attitude I repeat.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but is there a release date for the 3 Spinosaurus es? They are probably gonna be one of my favorite dinosaurs! ;)

That therizinosaurus is hardly small either, to be honest I was pleasantly surprised with the shipping cost.

Hello,
Shipping for me for all the figures I got was not bad at all, came out to about $16 dollars, with the entire order ( I have one other figure, a Jacob sheep) total to $$57 USD. really about the same or even cheaper than the USA. I did not get get the Guidraco due to it's size, I'm sure that would add up the cost.
Anyway, I know people love comparison shots, so here are some ;D

Daedodon with Mojo figure - For me, the CollectA is far superior/sophisticated  sculpt than the Mojo, which I also love. It is a lot more polished and detailed than the Mojo, which to me looks unfinished. It is also more imposing. However, I have plans to convert one Mojo figure into a female and have a pair ^-^ Just need to do some cutting ;) and repainting.
[

With the DinoRider figure - they are about t he same size.
[

And with the AAA and AAA knock-off figures
[

The group of handsome beast ;D
[

Moropus - I only have this small version ;D looks like a baby! You already saw the comparison with Bullyland.
[

Safari and Bullyland ichtyosaurs - it's much slender and slightly smaller than both.
[

Cheers!

Great comparison shots, Boki! Thanks!! I was especially interested in how the Daeodon looked with Mojo's Entelodont. You're right. CollectA's is much more detailed, at least in comparison to the Mojo figure in this pic. My Entelodont seems to have much better hair texture detailing than the one here. And the head and face of mine also seems to be less crude. Yours definitely looks more unfinished. I'll be curious to see how your Mojo tuns out after your tweaking. :)

^^ Nice Boki! Looks like besides a new paint job, you bulked it up a bit. They look good together. :)

Thanks. I think with the multiple dry brush, the details of the fur is more obvious so now the figure looks more bulky, I did not do anything to bulk it up. :)

Wow, I'm impressed! Your dry brushing technique created a great illusion!

As I mentioned a while the Acrocanthosaurus is the weakest figure of Collecta mark in relation to 2015 prehistoric animals.

Lol!

No offense intended to our friend ARUL, it's just that this has been mentioned/pointed out/discussed several times already ever since the figure was first revealed.  ;)

oh so Im not the only one who's noticed the acrocantho looks like charcaro. I hope Collecta isnt starting to develop Carnegie style same-iness for their theropods...
