When does Safari Ltd usually reveal their new stuff anyway?

When does Safari Ltd usually reveal their new stuff anyway?

Um....October or November! Safari typically releases their stuff before Christmas, and the thought is, is that they don't reveal their stuff until they are ready to sell it (at least some of it). The theory is that their shipments are delayed due to worldwide shipping delays, and thus they are delaying the formal announcement.

[Lanthanotus]

Papo:
Magpie
Hummingbird
Spoonbill
Great Tit

CollectA:
Smok
Iguana
Python

Eofauna:
Diplodocus
Konobelodon

I prefer that strategy over CollectA releasing some in the early and mid of the year.

So I still got Safari Ltd and Mojo to hope for.

[bmathison1972]

I updated my first post. Think I'll get the CollectA Geosternbergia sternbergi and Mojo Brumby stallion.

I removed CollectA's bison and elephant as 'maybe'; I am content with the figures I have of those species. They are so common and familiar, I am not setting out to get the 'very best' of each. I am happy with what I have!

[bmathison1972]

I just noticed that the original Brumby is still available at Minizoo. If I do a Minizoo Collecta order before the Mojo Brumby releases, I'll get the SR one

[EpicRaptorMan]

Guess I'll add the Arctic Wolf, Golden Eagle, and Perentie from Mojo 2022 to my list.

Though the Arctic Wolf is still a maybe.

[bmathison1972]

updated first post with intended (for now) Safari wishes, and crossed out the Schleich scorpion since I have it already!

[EpicRaptorMan]

I'm gonna cross of the Schleich Stork for my 2022 list. The older one looked better so I'd rather find that.

And again the cougar is a maybe. I thought I liked it, but after seeing pics of it online I'm still unsure. Waiting for my local Tractor Supply Co. store to get it in to see it myself.

I'll be keeping my eye out for the CollectA anglerfish for one..
And probably the Mojo coelacanth
(it's funny to note the spellcheck doesn't recognize coelacanth or anglerfish as words  )

remember, these are for things produced/released in 2022, not just everything you want 

[MudpupWaterdog]

I'll add my list too, as of February:

Papo:
Shrimp
Hermit Crab
Leopard Shark
Lobster (2021 I know, but I don't think it's for sale in America yet)

Safari:
Tancho Koi
Salmon Shark
Aisa TOOB (but only if there are some interesting fish/reptiles/amphibians/inverts in it, I'll pass if it's just the usual charismatic megafauna mammals)

Collecta:
Anglerfish
Smok

A small list this year, but in a way that's nice because it's achievable. Mojo's Coelacanth is nice but I'm happy with the Safari and Colorata ones that I already have.

Does anyone know the size of the unnamed Papo Hummingbird?

[bmathison1972]

Does anyone know the size of the unnamed Papo Hummingbird?

Not yet, but I imagine not much taller than the current robin so I imagine 3-4 cm tall. Lately, Papo has made their small animals small!

[bmathison1972]

Added a couple, removed a couple, and crossed-out recent aquisitions

[sbell]

Mine's a short list, but I already have Smok and Cooperoceras from CollectA! Worth the postage from Australia!

Surprised I haven't seen the Schleich nothosaur and Papo magpie yet. Honestly, the list is short these days.

I have the Smok en route and just ordered the magpie yesterday

I should have waited...but then, MiniZoo had CollectA on sale. Later.

@sbell - I have been buying Papos the last couple years from German eBay dealer spieleundkonsolen. They get them faster than MiniZoo or two American dealers, HappyHenToys and Hotaling Imports
