That is often true, but the "free shipping" offer from Secret Compass was usually better for me (price wise at least). Now though I see he has changed a lot of those and is no longer honoring that with his P1 offerings.

My Spino shipped for 4.00 via BBTS, but with their market it was more like a 150.00 or so. That's not bad but yeah the wait was long.

Before Covid I shipped the Triceratops from P1 direct in three days for a 150.00 bucks.

I tried preordering the new 1/35 Giganotosaurus from P1 but shipping was over a 100.00 for it. That did seem high.

EPIC! I see the Queen is awaiting a proper throne.. lol

Wish I would have sprung for this but at the time it wasn't possible..and I have no idea where it would have went space wise. I am glad I ordered the smaller 1:15 one though.

Thanks! Moving in a few weeks and am scoping out new shelving for the next man-cave... seems like garage-like shelving is a popular option for these super-heavy Prime 1 pieces.

Indeed! They are great.

Congrats tama! The Rotunda diorama is an excellent addition to your collection.

Are the shelves on the bror adjustable? Or fixed height for each?

Congratz Tama, don't forget to share more impressions once fully assembled!
