Velociraptor VS Protoceratops

[LOTRFan]

Is it? Looks relatively recent to me.

You posted it dunno ) I just meant classic because of the poses - dino missionary action .

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Oh, real mature.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, really? Had to go there?

 

[Agent0028]

Let's hope that's not the pose the statue will have. You know none of us will be able to think of it as anything but dino porn from now on.

i saw some more of this diorama, teaser web adverts.... but cant find them now which is annoying me...anyone else seen them?!

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Not as of yet..but hte full reveal will be Thursday...only a couple days away..I'm not that impatient...I don't think.. ;D

Adrian said it was a more lively version than the fossil...lol..by that I believe he means it's not just the fossil version fleshed out, but more the active, intimate death struggle that took place prior to their premature burial.

I wouldn't worry much about small size either..these pieces aren't to scale, but they do seem to have a good general size range. Scar is right, replace the Trike with the Proto and the Rex in the VS with the Raptor and you pretty much have it's size.

Info on the fossil and some interesting damage reports of what we might see in the statue...

I think they've done a great job with the size so far. I think they've all stayed right around 12" heightwise.

About 24 hours left can't wait!

I just hope this isn't as expensive as the Allo VS Camarasaurus dio since I'm still constantly almost broke after purchasing that one....

 

[Mightytrex]

I say the price is around 200 or less.

 

[Agent0028]

I look for it to be less. The Allo dio is huge.

 

[Scar]

I say the price is around 200 or less.

Disagree! :chew


Price should probably be comparable to the first diorama.

Agree :chew

It makes sense to be around that price range.

 

[Dyscrasia]

The currency is going down (which is a good thing), but the funny thing is recently the prices of Sideshow products and collectibles from other companies (generally imported collectibles) in here are going waaaaay up...

Even statues that are a little over $100 in the States cost more than $350 here... Seems like the customs office and the local retailers decided to suck all the money from their customers by ridiculously jacking up the price and also through price-fixing among local retailers (the same product costs the same regardless of which retailer you get it from)....and this whole situation seriously pisses me off

Certain products with price tags that are twice as much as the original price were pretty common, but recently if a certain product cost 'only' twice as much as the original price, then that certain product is regarded as 'extremely cheap'.....

Anyways, I should stop whining since I have already mentioned this ____ed-up problem which never seems to get solved numerous times in this forum...

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

If you have to vent a bit it's alright...I'd be really pissed off as well. I can also sympathize a bit, I really hate the fact I can't ship items from the UK for any price that can be called decent...I do better shipping from Japan than I do the UK.

I'm sure as Scar said it will about 250.00.. same as the Rex VS Trike, Deino VS Para. The Allo dio wasn't that much more really..about 300.00..which makes sense.

It really sucks how these officials can't see that lowering rates would increase shipping and get them the same if not more money in return. :/

This piece will be closer to the $300 mark I bet.

Sideshow's latest poll asks:
"What's your favorite thing that bites?"

T-Rex currently holds the lead, probably due in part to the absence of "Tax Season" from the list of options. Head over and cast your vote, to ensure the king retains his rightful place!

I don't see a reason to think so..a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops the same size as the Rex VS Trike would be about the same price.

 

[Agent0028]

I don't see it being 300 either unless there is something to it that we are unaware of making it really big.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I think if there was my " sources " would have touched on it...heh heh

We should be finding out soon either way..
