Robin - Goodfellow's Collection ( Collection "Tour" from page 113 )

[Everything_Dinosaur]

At Everything Dinosaur we are very aware of the difficulties.  Being prudent and out of respect for the parties and individuals involved, we won't disclose all we know, however, the future production of models is very much in jeopardy.  We currently have stock at the factory, whether we are able to ever get it out, is still very much up in the air, but we remain optimistic and we are doing what we can with our 3rd or is it our 4th account manager at Yiniao Sci-Art, the company that could be considered the commercial wing of PNSO.

We are also attempting to put together a project that enables the Mamenchisaurus figures, to be completed.  The future of the eagerly anticipated Amargasaurus is very much more in doubt, it not having been progressed to production stage at this time.

In the meantime, we still have have stocks of "Age of Dinosaurs" and the "Family Zoo" models and our prices have not changed, small PNSO models can still be picked up for as little as £3.49 plus P+P and we have some of the larger models available too.

As a collector myself, my advice would be to pick up what you can, there is no guarantee that these models will be available again in the future.  This is a shame, the range had lots of potential.

We will continue to work with all the parties involved and we note the continued interest in these figures amongst collectors and dinosaur model fans.  If we have the opportunity to publish further information we will, of course, post up on this forum as well as on our Facebook, Blog and other social media pages.

Here is the link to our Age of Dinosaurs range: PNSO Age of Dinosaurs

Here is the link to the extant Family Zoo range: PNSO Family Zoo Models

Unfortunately, we have to agree about earlier comments about high prices expected on Ebay et al.  Sadly, it is a supply and demand situation and many companies will seek to exploit the rarity of the models for commercial gain.  Whilst we have to bear in mind factors such as currency fluctuations, increased custom tariffs and shipping costs, Everything Dinosaur has not taken the opportunity to exploit this situation and has maintained its pricing.  As model collectors too, offering models at highly inflated prices to exploit their scarcity is something that we just don't do.  Our commitment to value for money and fair pricing has been amply demonstrated in our pricing of the Carnegie Collectibles model range from Safari Ltd.  Despite this range having been retired for some years and the rarity of these models these days, collectors and dinosaur fans have been able to pick up models from us at a fraction of the price of the same replica being offered on auction sites.

Remember too, we do our best to subsidise all postage costs and for all customers outside the European Union, they can purchase from Everything Dinosaur tax free (they don't have to pay the 20% sales tax).

We shall do our best to make progress on the PNSO model range and to secure stocks for our many thousands of satisfied customers, many of which, we are delighted to say are regular contributors to this excellent forum.

It's a pity Mike that you can not commercialize Tyrannosaurus Wilson. I can not buy figures outside of Europe because they require me to pay customs duties.

That Castagna TRex's head SCREAMS "1954 Godzilla"!! Spooky in the same sort of way ...

[paintingdinos]

The Alexander Belov Dunkleosteus is such an excellent model. Very envious, and the paint on this one is lovely. I hope he offers more casts of it in the future.

Yes.... and I love it for that..

Homosaurus bears some resemblance to the Sleestaks in Land of the Lost.

Homosaurus bears some resemblance to the Sleestaks in Land of the Lost.

"Homosaurus" is a speculation made by paleontologist Dave Russell in 1982: what if a Troodon evolved into a dinosaur sapiens ?

...emmmh..... the True Hero of my thread deserves a picture on his own...

So, that's "Hans Schleich" (a proud german guy) in all his glory:



( he will be grateful )

Your collection is like a library full of everything.
Whenever I hesitate upon buying or not buying a model, I seek knowledge from it.
Great job!

It's going to be interesting to see how the new Safari Ltd one and CollectA's look alongside those. It's quite interesting to see how similar the Papo, Schleich, and Recur ones are in color schemes as well. Thanks for sharing.

[RobinGoodfellow]

Thanks for sharing.

..my pleasure..

Awesome Dimetrodons! It's really a creature that's hard to do injustice considering the many great Dimetrodon figures in this thread alone.
