Allosaurus VS Camarasaurus Diorama

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Presently, these are the only Sideshow pieces I'm buying.. and I think I could swing one every 2 months..if they kept to the costs of the first maquettes..

 

[Dyscrasia]

Got a notice from our local retailer that these will arrive in the country in early July. I hope the folks at the customs office won't be such douchebags and put the statues on hold for a long time...(which happened to the Queen Alien diorama, the idiots at the customs had it for more than 2 months)

If I worked customs, you'd be lucky if I borrowed your Alien Queen for only two months.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

heh..it makes you wonder...I can see someone popping open that box liberating the statue and then just reporting it as lost or damaged and destroyed..their an official whose to question them ?

 

[Dyscrasia]

In case of the customs office in our country, it's nearly impossible to figure out what the hell they are up to. They never answer any calls or complaints, and even if they do, all they say is just wait until they come up with an official statement about the imported product in concern.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Makes you sympthetic to crazy postmen that's for sure..

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Processing notice is in! Looks like these will start shipping before the month is out, after all.

I can't wait to see pics. I just hope this sucker stays in stock long enough for me to get one.

 

[Mightytrex]

I say I am excited!
YA

You'll be fine. I've got quite a few on reserve, and I'm sure bigger retailers do too.

 

[Agent0028]

Good to know. I'm really trying to stick with exclusives for these, but I'll go for a reg before I pass it up all together.

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Ah yes, the exclusives. I suppose worst-case scenario, you could pay huge sums to get one from eBay. Hopefully it won't come to that, though.

Is anyone else hoping that the black ring around the base will be gone when these get to us? Seriously, I had no idea prehistoric earth was so dark.

I guess i'm more ticked because, I like to photograph these statues outside and make them appear real. It won't look realistic with a black ring around the base.

 

[LOTRFan]

Switched to Flex, so I am eager for vicarious enjoyment from my fellow dino collectors.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

So if they're processing..how long til htey ship ? Or does processing = shipping ?

I still have to pay for mine..heh heh

I have plans for the base..but if they've detailed it no big deal..if not plan back on.. ;D

I'm not that into exclusives, if Sideshow sells out I'll go for the reg. May have to go for the reg either way really.

I would love for that to be gone as well. This is me holding my breath

That base looks like it's meant to be submerged flush with a similar (real) muddy terrain.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

An easy fix for the base would be trace it onto a wood block, have a woodsmith carve it out for you, stain, dry then set it inside. Of course you could go even cheaper and just carve the base area out of a foam block..paint and cover with dried moss from Walmart..that option would run about 8-10.00 ?

Ran accross a fellow artist from DA who is re-painting a SS Styrac. His previous work was really superb..can't wait to see this one finished :
