Everything Dinosaur has received its latest shipment of Beasts of the Mesozoic models. Team members have been busy contacting customers who wanted to be kept informed about the delivery.  The shipment contains tyrannosaur figures, more raptors and several different ceratopsians.  Once the pallets had been unloaded and placed in the company’s delivery area, the process of checking the inventory commenced.  After all the cartons had been checked against the manifest, model inspections began.  When the figures had been looked over, they were then grouped by stock keeping units (SKUs) before being put in the various bays allocated to Beasts of the Mesozoic models.

The picture (above) shows some of the figures in the shipment.  A tyrannosaur (Albertosaurus) is at the rear.  In front of it is an original Styracosaurus figure.  Two more tyrannosaurs are at the front, namely Alectrosaurus olseni and Moros intrepidus.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Models

The shipment contained a total of thirty-five different product lines.  The warehouse is divided into several areas.  Each area is dedicated to a specific manufacturer.  Once the models were put into their bays, team members could update the inventory on-line.  Unfortunately, the Beasts of the Mesozoic area is towards the back of the warehouse.  It is a good job we had pallet trucks handy to help move all their boxes to their new home.

Having a tidy and well organised warehouse makes a big difference when it comes to packing customer orders.  Models and figures can be located quickly and this speeds up the packing and despatching process.  A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur explained that the warehouse had been carefully laid out to expediate the picking and packing of figures.  There were hundreds of different product lines, all sorts of prehistoric animals to accommodate.

The spokesperson added:

“The website is organised into different zones.  Each zone is home to a specific range or product line.  We have invested in sturdy racking to permit us to store cartons and boxes in an orderly manner.

Orders placed for the new arrivals last night and this morning have already been despatched.  The last collection from the company’s warehouse is normally scheduled for 3pm (BST).

The popular Natural History Museum dinosaur models are being retired. The entire series of Natural History Museum dinosaur figures is now out of production.  These dinosaur models were introduced more than twenty years ago.  There had been plans to extend the range to include marine reptiles and pterosaurs.  However, Everything Dinosaur has been informed that all these figures are now being retired.

Natural History Museum Dinosaur Models

When first introduced the range consisted of thirteen items, including two T. rex figures and two box sets.  Over the years, the range has been reduced with the Corythosaurus, Iguanodon and the large Tyrannosaurus rex model being withdrawn.  Everything Dinosaur team members were aware of the plans to stop production last year, but today, we formally announce that once stocks of these figures have been sold, they will not be replaced.

Megalosaurus Model out of Production

The Natural History Museum Megalosaurus model is also out of production.  This year marks the two hundredth anniversary of the scientific description of Megalosaurus (M. bucklandii). However, this important scientific landmark has failed to save this figure.  It too is being retired.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that the company had been able to obtain stocks but once these had sold it would not be possible to replace them.

The spokesperson added:

“We have the Megalosaurus, T. rex, Baryonyx, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and the Diplodocus, Kentrosaurus box set, but the Ankylosaurus figure has already sold out.  We have not altered our prices just because we know these figures are going be more difficult to obtain.  Hopefully, model collectors will have plenty of notice to enable them to complete their model collections.”

It is not known whether the London Natural History Museum intends to introduce a new set of models.
