Chronicle Collectibles Jurassic Park T-Rex statue

[Collectorcol]

White paint or rub?

Replacement request or refund?

You guys don't seem to understand why a JP dino costs more than a generic dino to make thus is a higher cost to us. Why did you buy it if you don't like licensed pieces and didn't want a JP logo on it? Seems odd to be upset at something you knew would be there when you ordered it.

I bought it because the promo pics were absolutely false and I could live with the big logo slapped on if it had turned out to be as good as promised.

Ultimately it didn't, the paint is really bad and it looks worse than Dinosauria pieces. Yes I realize the licensing brings the price up, but it was expected that the paint job would be better than par. My issue isn't with the JP license, although I am not a fan of it.

There will always be variations from piece to piece, but this one seems to have some good ones and some that are unacceptable.

Sorry should've given more info. I live in Belgium and preordered this at my local collectibles shop. So for me the stories that they only QC'd the ones in USA are true. After contacting the store she said she had already gotten a other paint complaints from other customers. She will try to get me a new one, preferably better, but couldn't promise me or the other customers anything. She bought one for herself and immediately noticed the lackluster paintjob too. The ones I've seen that people are getting in the US are better than what we got over here. So I'm not happy with this one. Waited a long time for a decent T-rex statue from the JP-movies and the sample piece showed so much promise. The sculpt is great, but that paintjob is nothing to write home about. Very dissapointed. Either I get a new and good looking one or I will get a full refund from the store.

Breakout Rex has arrived in the U.K!!..
I received my Breakout today, I got number #403, and all I can say is DAMN!!!, this piece is freakin' awesome and BIG!!, she looks so impressive from every angle, the paint job is amazing, you have to see this piece in person to truly appreciate how much effort has gone into this.

Thankyou Chronicle Collectibles for such an incredible piece, my first Jurassic Park collectible from you guy's and with quality and attention to detail like this it most certainly is not my last, plus assembling the fence is a lot of fun...

'Grats! (Amazing paint may be pushing it).

Was yours direct from Chronicle?

Honestly for the price, the paint (and maybe size) are really bad, and I'm sure there aren't ones that are painted much better than mine going off all these pics. I can't imagine any of these being worth it unless you're partially blinded by JP nostalgia.

Maybe one day I'll try to repaint it. That would change everything.

 

[sauron3434]

Yeah mine was directly from CC

 

[MIKE M]

Any interest for the signs to go along with this ?

 

[Collectorcol]

^ Nice.

 

[Webb]

Metal or plastic or just the sticker ?

Thanks

 

[MIKE M]

At the moment just plastic

 

[MIKE M]

Not half bad

The site is nothing like it used to be. This is my first post in two weeks.

 

[Robopredinator]

That sucks. I wasn't aware that overall site activity has decreased as I only keep tabs on a handful of threads including this one.
