It looks like Rebor is starting to include plastic trays on recent shipments of the Ceratosaurus. See photos below courtesy of Viking Spawn/Wayne Daniels. Wish mine had come with one....

Well thats good news

Very Good Rebor!!! Well done. Mine didnt come with one. But he stands very Well on its own.

Viking Spawn · July 19, 2015, 03:56:02 PM

Thank you for the acknowledgement Joossa! I was very surprised to see the plastic insert when I opened mine this past week after reading about the previous issues with the warping of the hind legs. My Ceratosaurus has no standing or warping issues at all and can be displayed with or without his/her base.

Here is my entire online gallery which I created for collector references.

Your photos are top notch.

I must admit, though... I am a bit jealous you got a Ceratosaurus as was advertised by Rebor to begin with... being able to stand on it's own off the base. Mine's leaning on the Rex's leg off the base on my display shelf. Oh well.

That should be good news for the Acro since REBOR has said that it will have a plastic insert as well.

Thank you Joossa. Glad you enjoyed them.

As for his standing, perhaps Rebor heard enough QC complaints and I got a later batch with the proper shipping materials. I had a hair dryer on standby and expecting the worse prior to opening him. I was very surprised and happy how sturdy this piece is and that it doesn't need any assistance in standing on its own.

I just wish they made their King T-Rex with a better stance. Which is my only complaint about that particular model. I have a hunch that will be remedied when their Trike base is released.

Do you mind sharing where you purchased your Cerato from? I was going to purchase one from BBTS but decided not to after hearing about how awful the standing issues were. If I was absolutely sure it was going to come with a plastic tray I'd reconsider ordering one.

Viking Spawn · July 20, 2015, 03:53:06 AM

I purchased all of mine from BBTS. Always had great service and fast shipping. Even with their economy shipping option.

They also have the best Rebor prices I've found so far too.

Thanks! Good to know they have updated stock. I ordered the Utahraptor from them but didn't like how badly it was sagging so I returned it. I agree their service is great. I have the King T-Rex coming in on Wednesday, which I'd preordered from them about a month ago.

Sorry to hear you returned your Wind Hunter. I do wish the sagging wasn't an issue, but I think it was inevitable with such an extreme pose.

Viking Spawn · July 20, 2015, 04:29:43 AM

Luckily, mine wasn't sagging badly at all. But I keep my house cool in the summer too.

After reading about this issue, I put a stand under him to prevent this from happening anyway.

You are welcome.

Let me know what you think of the King T-Rex when you get him. Its my favorite piece so far, but I'm also biased when it comes to ol Rexy too!

For sure! I'll no doubt do a video review once I receive it. I like what I've seen of it in other videos and photos so far... my only minor gripe is the color. Ever since I was a kid, I've always envisioned T-Rex being green. I have no idea why that is, but it just... is.

I never expected the orange-y color REBOR decided on, but it truly does look rather stunning in your photos. I'm sure I'll be happy with it. It's really a good thing that it's not green, as I already have both the green and the brown Papo Rexes (brown upright, green walking).

If you can pick up a Cerato with a guaranteed plastic tray, do so...you won't regret it. It is by far my best model in my entire Papo and REBOR collection. Probably, my best dinosaur model ..ever. Unfortunately, I got mine on day 1...so it isn't exactly stable...but I got it to stay up somehow.

I'll certainly consider it! I do love the look of it as well as the awesome display base it comes with. First I wanna see the fully revealed Acro though just in case it appeals to me more. I think they also said they're doing Allosaurus "Ravage" or something. I'm quite curious about that as I've always loved Allosaurus.

This is fun news to see that the Ceratosaurus and all future Rebor bipeds now have this plastic insert to keep their legs from warping.

I would definitely order one if I knew I'd be getting this well-packaged version. I agree it's a beautiful model, but the leg warping killed the whole thing for me when these were first released.

Can anyone point me where the easiest place is to get Rebor from in the US?

Viking Spawn · July 20, 2015, 07:22:33 AM

@ Victoria - Looking forward to your video review. As for your color suggestion, it also wouldn't surprise me if Rebor makes LE reissues later on with different color variations. (Not that I'm trying to give them some ideas either.

)

@ ItsTwentyBelow - I buy my Rebor from the Big Bad Toy Store.

Dan's Dinosaurs is recommended highly.

I second this. Dan has never steered me wrong.
