Sure, sorry to disappoint however as what you saw in that picture is basically all there is currently.
Also not really the ideal time with all the wrapping (even inside the 1:5 Rex mouth lol), but here they are:

Yes they are, i think they scale perfectly with the IS pieces and truly add alot to the cabinet. The goat especially, i absolutely love it.
I'm also trying to keep everything licensed so no customs for me, and as you can imagine it's not really financially friendly at all since, with very few exceptions, only Regular versions were available locally.
Oh well, i was able to save some bucks with the Closed Mouth Raptor at least.

Thanks buddy.

I would love to own the Spino, wish i had money and space to buy every single high-end Jurassic piece to be honest as i think they are all amazing, but can only afford the first movie.

Thanks for the pics, i love the memoribilia, i used to love collecting those candy eggs.
I need to get back glass display cabinets, everything just looks better, especially with lighting.
I also need that T-Rex attack diorama lol. Well, certainly set A. I was never able to pull the trigger while it was available.

What is the plastic wrap for on those statues? Also, what holds your glass shelves in place. I don't see any metal supports. Man, that looks precarious.

Yeah, to be honest most memorabilia was put in there just to fill the cabinets at the time, and half of the McDonald's stuff didn't fit in it unfortunately so i'm not sure they are going to stay there forever.
Glass cabinets look absolutely amazing in person no doubt, to me they are the best, but for photos and videos are sort of a mess i think due to all the reflections/refractions.
I'd say go for the IS attack diorama, it's an absolutely huge and impressive piece overall.

The reason was explained in the previous page. Girlfriend was bothered by the smell of the plaster and paint we used to fill nail holes on the walls, and since we sleep there i conceded to have windows and door fully opened for a couple of days. It may be excessive, but i hate dust more than any other natural element in existence.

Metal supports are holding the P1 pieces:



Each glass shelf in the cabinet is kept in place by four metal supports, one for each angle.
Those cabinets as you see them endured a servo subwoofer at reference volume for three days, i only had to remove it from the room because the pieces inside were literally dancing during War of the Worlds.

It may not be ideal, sure, but i'm a sucker for aesthetics unfortunately.

Those heavy statues on glass shelves give me heart attacks, but what a nice collection.

Thank you. Believe me, i know the feeling. I felt like this for a very long time, and still do at times to be honest, but after that subwoofer experience i'm kind of at peace.. it was a literal earthquake simulator afterall.

Thanks for sharing some collection photos, Vick. The glass shelves make me nervous, but they sure look nice. I've always liked the look of glass shelving.

Guys a question on the gate flames for those who have the piece.

When i first tried it, pressing the "I" would turn the flames on and pressing it again would turn them off.
Today i noticed they were dimmer already, so i put new batteries in. But now pressing the "I" would turn the flames on, and pressing it again would make them dimmer and flicker like real flames.

What the heck is going on, is it broken already?
Or is it like this on yours too and the only way to turn them off is to remove the batteries entirely?
