Kaiyodo 2016 Dino Festival figure set of four

[brettnj]

Hey.

My source sent this photo and IDs the figures as t-rex, spino, (young) parasaurolophus, and yi-qi.



The set releases next month and my source will visit the venue to collect these, so please e-mail (or request my e-mail address via PM and then e-mail) ASAP if interested.

I won't know prices until they are in hand as it depends upon what the machines distribute, how many we'll have to buy on YAJ to supplement/complete sets, how many spares we have, etc.

Most of my established buyers don't even ask me about price when they pre-order, knowing that I virtually always beat eBay prices and often by a huge percentage, so anyone new might want to ask others here rather than me about the viability of pre-ordering without prices being disclosed.

Thanks.

I was really hoping it would be a set I wouldn't want any part of...you'll be hearing from me (but just for one...okay, two)!

[CityRaptor]

As expected, it contains T.rex in addition to Spinosaurus. A juvenile Parasaurolophus is pretty nice. That has to be the most accurate juvenile Para so far. And then there is Yi!

My apologies, I sent a PM before you edited asking for a price. I suppose I'll just have to be patient and hope to get one in my next order. Not comfortable committing without knowing the price (especially with a pre-existing order).

[Takama]

WOW that Yi qi is tempting.     

[Georassic]

Emailed you, Brett.
cheers

I've been in this for over 20 years (!). To be honest, Brett has had about as good of prices as any. Most of the time, if you don't pick up Kaiyodo dinos in their initial run, they will only go higher in price. It is sometimes possible to find deals...but not sure where. Especially Expo figures.

Unfortunately, Kaiyodo's model of very short-term releases means that we all have to kind of jump right away--or pay a lot more later!

Just to say, I'm not shilling for Brett--more, I don't think there's a person here that hasn't paid way more later, for something that was possible at the beginning! It's the nature of the hobby.

  Lovely! I want them all.

[ceratopsian]

They do look very appealing - and especially good to see the Yi.  I've registered my desire for three - not for the T-rex though.  It's not that I dislike it, just that I don't want too many more of this species in my collection hogging space!

[Carnosaur]

How big are they?

Indeed such are the risks one takes in waiting, but it's better than making an inconvenience of myself.

Close-up shots.  T-rex looks feathery...

[Megalosaurus]

Is confirmed that the spinosaurus is a exclusive for the reserved tickets? Or will be available as the others?
I ask because I want to know if it will be rarer or cost most than the others.

Somewhere here it was mentioned that it is one of the 4 capsule figures...but apparently it will be the gift with the ticket purchase as well. Maybe there will be some kind of variation? If there's one thing that Kaiyodo loves, it's multiple paint versions.

How much are they ?

I'd beat the eBay price, as I virtually always do.
