David Silva's Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaur Series

[Faelrin]

From David earlier today on his socials:

Hi All- hope you had a great holiday break! Today I have new factory photos of the final package samples for the upcoming Beasts of the Mesozoic assortment. Also, included here is our first look at 'Old Buck' in-package! These samples are on their way to me now so stay tuned for more on these soon.
Also, I know many of you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the T. rex wave offerings and I have a small update: we're currently in the process of sorting the new inventory and are working on transferring the order data. We're actually working with a new fulfillment center for this batch so the setup is taking a little longer than usual, but we're expecting to begin fulfillment sometime this week. I'll let you all know as soon as there's more news!

Package samples of Wave 1.5:

I didn't see any new ones?  David did show off new samples of the Dryptosaurus, Lythronax, and Bistahieversor.

You're right, and I need to get my eyes checked asap. What's the point of collecting dinosaurs if I can't even see them? I couldn't even tell all 3 apart. Thought it was a build a despot type thing.

[Shuvuuia]

Just got the notification that my 1/35 WWD Tyrannosaurus shipped. Which is extremely exciting for me and hopefully relieving to any of you who haven't gotten the notification yet.

[Faelrin]

Good to know they are starting to ship. Just hope mine arrives before I need to be out of here. I have some time though.

I'll be honest with you, there are getting to be so many dinosaurs out there I've never heard of if I don't leave them in packages I won't have any idea what they are.  It's just too much for my aging brain.

I ordered both of the big boys, regular Rex and Dino Riders version, haven't had a ship notice yet but it's good. I have so many preorders I have to go back and check just what I have and haven't ordered.

I feel the same way @Blade-of-the-Moon ... I have strayed from the holy path. I don't remember the last time I read anything about paleoanthropology, and I get free papers all the time. I'm more concerned with politics, immigration policy, healthcare, getting healthier, taking care of my sister...it's all too much. I am familiar with these species though, but when I posted that I could barely read or see what I was doing. For some reason Dryptosaurus changed to Daspletosaurus. I still can't wait.

I've about a year's worth of PTs I haven't done more than flip through so yeah I'm a bit full. Actually running a business and trying to be more involved with family along with my ability at retention going to pot..well yeah we're in the same boat. lol 

I do wish more species had some sort of outstanding trait that made them more recognizable..but alas it is what it is.

[Eocarcharia]

Got my notification yesterday; T. rex and Torosaurus have shipped! Soon...

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I had thought I had ordered both of the big Rexes, turns out I just ordered the DR one. Had to contact David and get in a preorder quick lol  Hopefully they will ship soon.

Seems pretty good overall.  I don't know what the deal is with the Yutyrannus neck? They said it was glued too well? Looks like it wasn't meant to be removed?

[Faelrin]

Man I straight up can't wait to get my hands on the Yutyrannus and Guanlong I ordered through the kickstarter. Looking really good. Still waiting for my WWD T. rex to arrive in the meantime.

Glad to see they took a comparison with the 1/18 Velociraptor too. I was wondering how that would size up next to the Guanlong.

[Faelrin]

Finally got the shipping notice in my email. Should be here in another day or two. Only coming from NJ which is a few hours drive from here.

[Shuvuuia]

It's finally here! This thing is absolutely beautiful! I hope David makes more things in the 1/35 scale because after seeing this, I think I'd buy them all.

[Cretaceous Crab]

Does anyone know if all of the feet are supposed to have peg holes or just the standing legs?

Mine arrived and only the latter have them.
