PNSO dinosaurs

[Simon]

I think they are hollow...

Yes, they are high quality hollow vinyl.  If they were solid they would cost 3X as much and the shipping would be prohibitive.  Having said that, the sculpts are darn-near RESIN-QUALITY.  Like the old 1/20 and 1/35 Kaiyodo models, but made with sturdier (thicker) vinyl...

I've heard that the paint rubs off easily, is that true?

[Simon]

The only place I saw a couple of tiny little paint rubs (that I will easily fix myself) are around the mouths of the two sauropods - a common affliction that the old Battat Diplodocus shared - those parts stick out so far from the rest of the body that they can easily come into contact with something ...

acro man, I am very much interested in option #2, if you could please get in contact with me to work out the details that would be great I can send you a PM if you want, with my email if it is required.

Thanks,

Thanks Simon, for the invaluable info. Very much appreciated! :-)

I have already got them all yesterday. As you all expect, they are made of hollow vinyl. Their weights are not problem to concern at all.
The biggest problem is undoubtly their very huge size. I had to use my car trunk to carry just only 2 Huanghetitans back to my home and put the rest on passenger seats.
I think they are too huge for sauropod figurines.

I was curious about this line so I picked up the Shantungosaurus. Now THESE are dinosaur toys...

[LophoLeeVT]

dinosaur toys indeed!

[Brunno]

Hello guys! This is my first reply here, and I have just confirmed my buy with Monster House. Well, I'm from Brazil and ordered the big sauropod and the value to ship it to me here here is US$ 60,00.

[RobinGoodfellow]

My order to Monster House HK: Shantungosaurus + Mandschurosaurus + Huanghetitan.
Shipping price to Europe (Italy) is 100 USD.

Hey that price is not bad at all!! I could probably consider buying with them.

And how much did those three figures themselves combined cost?

I'm very tempted, but also very aware of the likelihood of import taxes ruining what might otherwise be a good deal... :-/

Monster House has higher prices than buying the figures on Taobao but lower prices on shipping.
Shantungosaurus + Mandschurosaurus are 50 USD each ( 100 USD in total ).
Huanghetitan is 90 USD.
These are the prices if you contact MH directly on Facebook. Ebay prices are higher.
The grandtotal (with shipping cost) is 290 USD ( that's lower than Taobao because Taobao has higher prices on shipment).

Local taxes could be a problem.
Here in Italy I'll pay 23% on Customs Tax.
And it doesn't matter choosing Monster House HK or Taobao because Customs Taxes are inevitable so...

Going for the same three through acro-man is only 225.00 though.  cheapest i've seen.

[RobinGoodfellow]

Yes, but only for USA customers.
I talked to acro-man.
The grandtotal for the 3 figures+ shipping cost is 326 USD ( Europe ).
I spent 290 USD with Monster House HK.
Taobao can ship directly to USA but they use an external company to ship in Europe.
That company has a shipping cost of 253 USD.
So Monster House HK seems to be cheaper for European customers (by now...).

Ah ok I understand now.  I'm hoping to order those three myself soon.

[Roselaar]

Still rather a financial setback for me. I guess I'll skip this line. It's not like I got the space for it anyway.

The only way i will consider these is that 1, they branch out to more then just Chinese Species, and 2 they become available on Amazon, or Dans Dinosaurs

In my view (as a collector)  this line is so interesting BECAUSE of the chinese species; there are plenty of Apatosaurus, Parasaurolophus or Triceratops on the market... but I can't recall any other Huanghetitan on the market until now, so...

The original chinese price for these figures is between 20-50 USD.
The shipping price become  higher because of their size.
Any other future reseller will have to deal with that.
And probably any other future reseller will rise up prices because of his own fee, import taxes from China and (of course) rarity.

This line already has a non-Chinese species: Tyrannosaurus rex.
