It’s the last product image for this piece on prime 1’s site. The cement paddock sign you would have seen outside the dinosaur’s enclosure.

Their JP sales have really heated up recently with the Trike, Spino, Mosasaurus EX, all going to waitlist and the regular Mosa and Rotunda Rex now showing low stock. Hopefully Prime 1 reconsiders continuing the line.

Just a marketing trick. I can't see this line selling very well except Blue (and everybody is selling that one). We never get to see the actual units produced of each statue in any company. Even the almighty Predator Cinemaquette wasn't produced in the full 1000 units.

They go by batchs and they stop when the presales don't meet enough profit, that might be case here.

Spinosaurus has sold really well. Demand suddenly went up on the triceratops too. No reason to think this one would be any less popular. Sure it’s pricey but it’s a hell of a grail piece!

Dude stop editing your post, is dizzying.

I'm collecting for 15 years and based on my experience I don't remotely believe that they sold 300 of these $2000 pieces.

Anyways I was referring to the line as a whole, Prime1 rarely complete the announced edition size of their stuff, unless if a very low number. They are clever doing that, not losing money.

Lol, I can edit my post if I choose to. Who put you in charge?!
And lol, dude I’ve seen you bashing Prime 1’s JP line ever since they first announced it. Nothing new here. I totally believe they sold 300 of these, it’s amazing! I do think sales were a bit lower than expected on some of the other pieces, which is a shame but this one is awesome!

I believe sales are definitely picking up due to Chronicles demise. I waited YEARS for someone to produce quality high end JP pieces. When chronicle came on to the scene I was excited but some of the stuff they produced was somewhat lazy and never truly impressive. I own a few of their pieces but paint and QC was always a bit lackluster. I’m grateful they resurrected interest but it was also a combination of hype for the new films.

Prime 1’s line however I’m fully in on. And now that they’re available direct to North American market sales have definitely picked up and I can easily believe they’re selling out. I myself have purchased/preordered 7 in the last 10 months.

JP/JW pieces definitively started selling all of the sudden. Glad to see it that way. Hopefully, I can pick one of this Rotundas from the waitlist! This thing is massive!!

Thats normal when in hand pics/videos start showing up, there always seems to be a rush to secure a piece.
Hopefully the line continues, my main 3 collections are Marvel, Star Wars and Jurassic Park, with a little DC thrown in.....

That I'm bashing what? Lie lie, I only critized how the rex was made. I can critize pieces whatever I want the same way you spam Prime1 everywhere.

By the way I've seen you critizing this line a lot lol.

That may be. Or maybe not. What I'm sure of is that Prime1 (or any company for instance) don't sell all of the edition sizes they announce. We cannot say that this line is selling a lot based on the triceratops going on waitlist, because the triceratops ES was only 50.

I wouldn't tag as high end pieces PVC made stuff, but I understand you. Chronicle made some incredible pieces, others were poorly painted. But at least they did the research to give you a copy of the Stan Winston pieces/maquettes. In polystone, not PVC. That was unprecedented and I don't think that will happen again in the collectibles world.


But anyways, this is just a technical note. Making more pieces that it should of this Rotunda piece would be losing money. As many licences they buy, Prime1 is very conservative on how many batchs they make and if they are selling well. When the preorders start to slow down they stop to place more orders to the factory.

It's impossible to know the actual number of pieces that are made, of anything. Anybody that works inside this industry will confirm this. When you read "Sold Out" o "Waitlist" does not necessarily mean that the piece was doing well.
