Tupuxuara - Pterodactyl

[Agent0028]

Yeah, I don't see this causing a delay in the Apato. I'm going to set the hundred for the Tupux aside as if it really did ship this month just to be on the safe side.

I'm dying for a dino-related fix...not sure I can wait two more months for it.. lol

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Strangely, I have the opposite problem, and could use a break right about now.

Well we're not all Dinosaur Stores Dan...lol ;D

 

[Agent0028]

I just want my Stego fix...

 

[Jeremy K9]

I'm still slowly getting through Delgado's Omnibus, so my Dinosaur fix is keeping my cravings in check. I'm about halfway through the last book, so after that I don't know what will happen. I might just reread it, as there is so much to take in, i've had to miss something.

 

[dansdinosaurs]

I'm not a dinosaur store, I'm a person. Or at least, I used to be.

Take all the time you need, Jer. Chris and I will be quizzing you later, and it won't be open book.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Ah, I got it in but I read the first two stories religiously when they came out...lol I've actually even read the third series up to the third book..so I'm prob going to just re-read that one..but will only stall me a few days...I need MORE !

I'm a little upset they shrunk it a bit from the orig comic format. There are so many details to take in ..it would have been better for them to increase the size actually.

Ah the eternal questions..can someone be both man and store ? Can his hobby become his job ? Will the result of trying it drive him....mad ?

Ooooooh ! Can I be bad cop for this line of questioning..er..quiz !?

That's right, your local joint never got in the final issue of The Journey. Looks like I'll have to administer the test, then.

I have the Omnibus though.. lol I'll get to the Journey after I finish the newest the issue of PT..which should be tonight. ;D

 

[Jeremy K9]

Wow. A test. I'm not sure that I have read through, thoroughly enough.

I would love to see them bring this out in a much larger format. I too, was a bit disapointed with the size. It hasn't kept me from enjoying it, though.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

If you can find the orig issues feel free to pick those up as well.

There is detail that can be missed..for example how many prehistoric animals can you see in the 2nd panel of page 30 ?

 

[dansdinosaurs]

What's missing from page 30? This is like The Shining.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It's nothing missing..just hidden..sort of..er..not easily noticed rather. I missed it the first two times I read it.

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Okay, besides the Rex, I spotted two other prehistoric animals in that panel. What did I miss?

 

[Jeremy K9]

I think he's referring to the Dinosaur behind the tree, as it's hard to see if you don't open the book wide enough. I may be mistaken.

That's him, not too hard was it ? I missed him twice when I first read through it. Made me pay even closer attention.. heh I think that is an Edmontosaurus..BTW.

There are other instances of Ricardo " hiding" dinos like that.

I'm re-reading the whole Journey story right now..since I finally have the last book I want to read it in context since it's been so long.

This story is a departure from him his previous ones..the story is so expansive it's hard to get in touch with any particular character for too long. In Tribal Warfare and The Hunt you had characters with names and individual personalities. That's not to say it isn't " good " it's just different. This Omnibus being labeled as #1 makes me think perhaps they will have more AoR stories soon...but I haven't found any proof of it.

 

[dansdinosaurs]

It looks like some kind of iguanodontid to me. Isn't that an elongated thumb claw?

I'm not sure..Iguanadon types weren't around when T-Rex existed..though to be fair Delgado pretty much blows away any time period references . It looks like it has the " oven-mit " paw normally associated with hadrosaurs.

You can kind of see it here :

They also appear to have some sort of " spike ".
