looks like the spinosaurus shipped but the rest was canceled.

The Allosaurus and Pteranodon pages are not working (haven't checked some of the others). Oh well there is still plenty of figures I can choose from if I can manage to take advantage of the black friday sale (such as that beautiful Carnotaurus and Styracosaurus, etc). I can always get the Pteranodon and others I want later.

Safari said that the new figures were not available yet.I asked them about the Allosaurus and the Spinosaurus,but they didn't answer.If you ordered the Spino and it ships it may mean it's available

Blade-of-the-Moon

Says it will be here Monday so we'll see.   The Allo, Camara, Pterano, and Stego were canceled and now their pages are pulled.

Blade-of-the-Moon

So my order shipped but did not include the Spino  I was just notified, which is a real letdown as I only ordered the items that did ship to qualify for free shipping. 

Minmiminime

Aw, no :( That's really disappointing! Someone must have messed up really badly. Safari are really good though, I'm sure they'll be upset that they've messed you around and will try to make it up to you

Yep, just two I didn't really need I added to get the free shipping, older figures.  So I spent 20.00 I didn't have to and my refunded funds are tied up for a week til they get from my bank to paypal :/  kinda annoying.

Stegold

I know it's late but all in-stock items ordered today i.e. Black Friday, are discounted 30% using code BLK30.

Faelrin

Well I took advantage of the black friday sale, and got the Woolly Rhino, Carnotaurus, Styracosaurus, Citipati, and the Muskox from last year.

Created a Safari 2019 range overview comp image, others may find it useful or worth a look, so...

I love your collages, avatar_PhilSauria @PhilSauria :)) It's great seeing all the models together like this, what a beautiful line-up! Doug has been very busy :o

Shonisaurus

The ten prehistoric animals of Doug Watson are fabulous. He is a great creative sculptor who combines artistic skill with scientific precision. By the way, the tyrannosaurus from Safari 2019 is the eleventh figure, although it is a minor figure in quality with respect to these magnificent figures.

Jose S.M.

What a lovely line up. To me all of this scupts are great, some are superior to others, but they are overall a stellar line up.

Lizerd

Really great selection this year around, lots of quality sculpts and definitely will go down well in safari history.

Now available on ED!! https://www.everythingdinosaur.com/product-category/models-and-inflatables/wild-safari-prehistoric-world/

*My apologies for the previous link, and thank you avatar_Ravonium @Ravonium for alerting me!! I presume a glitch on my phone caused that, as that previous link is one that was sent by a friend who lives in that region, over a week ago!! :-[ Time to check and clear the cache. But I digress, this is great news about the availability of this first batch of Safari 2019 dinosaurs

If the forum had a rating system, I guarantee this would be dislike-bombed  :P

(In all seriousness, I think most people here would understand that that was an honest mistake.)

Concavenator

My Citipati just came from Dan!!  :D

Wow,I'm very impressed with it.One of the most surprising things about it is it's size,it's way larger than what I thought it would be.Just so you can get an idea,it's comparable to the Carnegie Beipiaosaurus ,and it's taller than the Safari Acrocanthosaurus .Not to mention it completely towers last year's Anzu.

I also compared it with Papo's featherless Oviraptor and I couldn't resist a laugh.It's comparing a ridiculous animal (at least it's a nice sculpt,credit where due is due) to an actual living animal.

That aside:Anyone knows what happended with the Allosaurus' paint issue?  ???

I alerted Safari Ltd to the problem and they are very good at making corrections when I point them out so I suspect when they finally hit the market they should be corrected. So far they still aren't available. If you are really concerned wait until they are offered online and ask the retailer to confirm the paint before ordering. When I get my samples you can bet I will will be checking them, but retailers will get them before me.
