Holy crap Andy you're back. Yeah some say that your channel is annoying, and they also say things like how you don't use enough figures to compare. It's so mean and it always seem like they call you out. I don't understand why.

To me, you are one of the best and most helpful channels out there. Your reviews seem so natural and I really love the comparisons. Your Dino news videos are so helpful, and keep me and 1000s of others updated on what's going on. Thanks buddy

[Andysdinosaurreviews]

Thanks man! I really appreciate the kind words!!!

As far as things like comparisons go, my reviews go on for so long so the last thing I want to do is include a ton of comparisons making them take even longer. I try to use the same figures for the most part in comparisons so its consistent and I would think should help out enough.

That and, I have so much that until recently sat in storage so I didn't have access to them fir comparisons and once I release my upcoming collection video, you'll see why I still try not to do too many. It's nearly impossible to get figures back out for comparisons.

I truly appreciate you my friend, and always having my back!

[Stegotyranno420]

No problem Buddy. I hope people realize. I might do a poll of what figures few you should use for comparisons that almost all collectors have.
It's also great to be back here on the forum. How did you find out anyway?

[Reuben03]

People criticize me on here???  That's rude!

HAHA hey man! didn't know u were on here! u ever watch Ted Brothers?
you should reach out to them and see if u can get one of their repaints for a review.

Hey! I do know of them! Not a bad idea but I'm also not sure if he sells his stuff. I don't think he does but I could be wrong. Great idea though!

A few days late in posting this, but I managed to find a bunch of the new Savage Strikes, etc, at a Walmart a bit farther out after a doctor's appointment. Picked up a couple of the Plesiosaurus figures (one for me, and two others for some friends). Also picked up the Stygimoloch and Monolophosaurus, and the lone Triceratops Snap Squad (my first of its kind).



So here's a look at everything I've kind of obtained over the past week or so:



Safe to say I'm just about caught up now, until I can get my hands on the other new stuff coming out this year sometime.

what's the struthiomimus looking figure in the bottom picture?  Second row from the top, second from the right, brown colour with blue head.

[CityRaptor]

That's an Attack Pack Gallimimus. The color scheme is very similar to the one Kenner put out in the 90s for the second series of their Jurassic Park toyline as well as some similarities to the marquette used for the movie, making this a popular figure.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Found the plesiosaur, but no Monolophosaurus or the Extreme Damage Rex yet.

The snap squads I found were on a top shelf for anyone looking.

thanks for the info.

is there a release date for the Apatosaurus in North America yet?  I see it's already out in the UK and I presume Europe, so I would assume soon for NA?

[Faelrin]

I think we may expect to see the Apatosaurus by summer, or late May here at the earliest. I mean I would at least expect it to coincide with perhaps the release of the third season of CC which is due to release in mid May (though I expect this was probably intended to release alongside Dominion originally, before being delayed another year). It seems rather strange that it is already available over there, yet no word about when it will show up here from retailers or Mattel. Same thing seems to be going on with the Spinosaurus, but hopefully that's here by May as well.

Also I wanted to let folks know I added many missing product codes found over on Amazon, and Mattel's website, to the first post/page of this thread. Added and changed some pics as well, nothing major.

Reminds me a bit of the Kenner Red Rex.

[Faelrin]

So that raptor set on the back of the Apatosaurus box has been found and revealed now. Not a bad set for those that missed out on the Savage Strike versions (assuming it is widely distributed), although they probably could have been more accurate (to CC or the films). An easy skip for me, but I do like the packaging art/backdrop for it.

I'll add the images in a little bit here when I get on my laptop.
