Not just feathers, but huge blobs of fat, "chicken hats", throat pockets to help sing like frogs or "flesh mustaches".

As for the colors, they coule be either "camouflage" or psychedelic bright with hypnotic patterns.
Who know?

Very true, I think Brian Engh made a more recent restoration based on the available skull material we have.

I'd be happy to discuss paleontology stuff further, but probably in a PM so I'm not de-railing the topic here too much with it. I figured I'd toss my expertise in here.

Anyways, back to Transformers talk. Apologies for the paleontology discussion, once again.

Yes, the gun does look very similar to the Beast Wars Alligator Megatron. Hopefully, it won't be too loosey-goosey like mine is. Loves to flop around between the tail tip and the barrel. Such a pain.

I find it kind of interesting that they cose the Nedry and Dilophosaur scene, rather than the doctor and the Triceratops.

Technically the dino is the “good guy” while the Jeep is the “bad guy”

I do appreciate the fact it comes with a Barbasol can though.

Also, does this mean we can expect a Hammond Jeep and Bronto set?
Ohh what about an Allan Grant Explorer and Velociraptor?

I'd personally like a Jeep Hammond and Brachiosaurus set mostly the fact that herbivores don't get as much attention as they should. Same with a Triceratops set too. Though many people associate herbivores with being good guys, but it would switch some things around. I still think Nedry - if they were using him as the robot mode which it looks like - should have been a 'Con since he was so greedy. Basically, the equivalent of Swindle I'd feel.

Ironically works since Swindle was a jeep in Alternators

Looking at the pictures again, it seems BOTH are deluxes.

So...

75 mother effing US dollars.

Woah.

I dread the Canadian price. :shock:

The previous set was $105 for a Leader and a Deluxe so yes, the crossover sets are over priced.

Of course you can now get it for $49 bucks on Amazon.

And I just noticed I totally called a Nedry-tron back when the T-Rex set was first revealed in page 1 of this very thread. :lol:

Swindle (G1) has always been a jeep.

G1 was not a literal Jeep, but close enough

TOON Swindle was a Jeep, but the OG toy was not a Jeep.

I guess if they ever do fiction for the Jurassic Park x Transformers crossover series they could have "Autobot JP12" team up with Swindle to smuggle dinosaur embryos from Isla Nublar instead, the motivation "to make a name for themselves" since being called "Autobot JP12" is more of a designation than an actual name.

The Canadian listing for the newest JP set is already up. As expected, the price is absurdly high.

115$CAN. >:oP

We Canadians pay 15$CAN more compared to the American price. A price that was already super expensive from the start.

Yup.
This thing is definitely on my "to wait for a sale" list.

Speaking about waiting for a sale, the first set is now at the pretty unbeatable price of 86$CAN!
That's almost 50% off compared to the original bloated 150-ish CAN$ original price.

Being a Jurassic Park collector primarily, it's a must-buy for me. For now, though, I'm waiting for a sale and the price to come down before I go ahead and purchase unless I receive it as a gift like I did with the Tyrannocon Rex set. I am pleased to see the Tyrannocon Rex set is still available, but I have also seen the price drop too there so it might just be a matter of time hopefully.

Think we'll ever get a terminator X transformers crossover?

Hear me out: Barricade with a head retool as T-1000 with a sword hand/arm/finger attachment. I guess an animated Prowl retool would be possible too but nah

And then a brand new mold for T-800 with a motorcycle alt mode, an alternate head with battle damage, and one of the hands molded with an extended thumb (though still capable of holding weapons). And the weapons would be a shotgun and a grenade launcher

They could be released as a two-pack. Orrrrrrr one of the 2-packs as T-1000 with a retool of strongarm or Prime arcee as Sarah Connor

And the other 2-pack with T-800 and a smaller deluxe bot retooled as young John Connor

I'll be waiting for a discount this time around, but it's there for those that want it.

It's been on pre-order since around it was announced at Amazon.ca.
But yeah, I'll rely on the first set's history and I'll definitely wait for a discount. 115$can for two deluxes that I KNOW will be on sale sooner or later is a big nope.

I got the 2nd crossover set at 30% off thanks to Amazon. I definitely think they learned from the first set, because this one is far better. they did a really good job it with, a lot more stable, a lot more fun, and even a really cool display. Loving it.

News Credits: 95 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Sun Dec 03, 2023 8:34 pm

Even at 30% off that set is still WAY, WAY too expensive.

For us in the US, 30% off is $52, which is 2 deluxes, which is what these are. The price at 30% is in fact right.

And, these are good deluxes too

Yeah, you guys got an actual sale. If I'd have bought from .com, the shipping would have offset the sale and brought back the price to the 93$CAN "sale". Add the taxes, and the price would have been the same, total. Here at Amazon.ca, the set was 93$CAN plus taxes with free Prime shipping. Making it 53$CAN for each deluxes. That's 38$US a deluxe... ON SALE.

So, nope. That set is 115$CAN at full price. The SAME price as the BWBB 4 pack of one voyager and 3 deluxes!
When this latest JP set gets marked down at 70$CAN, meaning the genuine price of two deluxes, only then will I buy it. It will happen for sure. I'll just have to wait a wee bit more.
