I'm staying in Hong Kong :P  It was the shop (my only source for CollectA :'() that was moving, not me.
I hope this clears us the confusion, and I think we're going a little off topic here, eh?  ;)
are there a lot of stores selling dinosaurs and other animal figures in HK?

On FlaffyRaptors's profile, their location is HongKong...

Yeah. I didn't and also forgot to check it. That was my fault. Apologies.

There used to be one or two, we even had Japanese animal/goldfish capsule figures in HK, but now they are no where to be found  :'(

Just went to the Fukui Museum and found 3 special exhibit sets, the yutyrannus set, coelophysis set and the pentaceratops set. The sinoceratops set and the guan long set are not released yet. The yutyrannus set is 2000 yen, pentaceratops should be 2300 yen and the coelophysis set should be 2500 yen. They also had previous retired exclusives for sale there, like the concavenator and pelecanimimus set, and the soft model saurolophus.
Probably gonna post some pics when I get back home.  ;D

Looking forward to the pictures! Did you happen to find out what scale these are in?

Hopefully they had a lot of those Saurolophuses, still plenty of people looking for one of those! :)

Damn you Japan! >:(

I have the Saurolophus figure (and the Tarbosaurus) and it's pretty cool. Makes me wonder if the Saurolophus figure has been available at the Fukui Museum all along (ie ever since it was released) or if they just brought out the unsold stock for this exhibit. I know a lot of people missed out on it the first time around and would love the chence to get one now.

I didn't knew there was a Saurolophus by favorite until I joined here and I have a emptiness in my heart since I knew it was rare and discontinued XD.  Just  kidding,  but that is a figure I would love to have definitely.

Including me. I'm willing to buy, if anyone has one to sell. (Same for his buddy Tarbo.)

I think the museum are selling previous stock of the special exhibits before. The saurolophus are in limited numbers and are almost gone, I'm not sure if they have any more stock though. Also, the saurolophus and concavenator set are only available for sale inside the special exhibition, not available for the normal gift shops outside. Scale wise, I'm not too sure (sorry) but what I can tell you is that the new special exhibit figures are not big at all (Except for the renodasaurus), the pentaceratops is about 10 cm or so. I did purchase two saurolophus, I might consider selling one someday, but as of now I am keeping the two.

That's good. I don't want the Guanlong to be larger than 1:20 :).

Think those are indeed new, they look pretty good !

Oh, man I want that set.

Aside from pterosaurs - I do have one other weakness and that is the Burgess Shale (and other contemporay fossil localities).

My Japanese is non-existent and I really don't trust google translate (my french is good enough to read those translations and cringe from them...).

Are they being released all at once or piece-meal?

Time to reach out to Brent...
