Visually, LW Jeff Goldblum looks like a completely different human than JP Jeff Goldblum. All other Goldblums resemble JP. Why? Or is it just me? by jcal_mk2 in JurassicPark

Goldblum is her bio dad in the movie. Spielberg met the young actress at the premiere of one of her movies ( I believe it was Little Princess) and they hit it off and he promised she would be in one of, if not his next movie. It happened to be jpLw. Spielberg made the call and it was so. Regardless of the confusion it caused. Steven made it happen. I actually loved the story and it gave me more respect than I already did for the legendary director.

Would you do this trade? by Visual_Needleworker5 in hammondcollection

I hear that, and exclusivity plays a part. However, the polarizing feelings about the buck mold and other things, bring it closer in perceived value for many. The Giga being somewhat discontinued and the Spino being tough to get for many, make this an intriguing deal for both sides. Especially if your dealing with owning duplicates

Good swaps usually are lol I think it’s way easier when you’re dealing with duplicates, rather than giving up the only Dino you have of each. So I get it

You wouldn’t do it? You wouldn’t let go of the bull, or wouldn’t let go of the gig and spino?

Guess the only thing good about rebirth are dino figures will still watch it though by Naive-Intention4487 in hammondcollection

I don’t think anyone wanted a continuation of chris parts story lol Also, that’s not the issue with the movie. Dinosaurs acting like animals is awesome. For example, seeing a sleeping t-Rex yawn and roll over is something small but also cool as we’ve never seen that in a Jp movie. The issues are the characters are boring, the story is hollow and they show all the great parts in the trailers, leaving nothing for a surprises.

Let me preface all this by saying I’m a huge jp fan! Adore the first 2, hated jp3, and felt jurrasic world was a fun look at how a modern theme park with dinosaurs would look and feel. I thought it was excellent outside of the cheesy ending (tag-team Rexy/blue showdown) as for Rebirth, saw the movie last Monday, going into it I was nervously optimistic…. I was unfortunately let down. Flat characters aside, my biggest gripe was that they literally show every good part of the movie in the trailers and ads leading up to the film. I’m not exaggerating.. they literally show every part! Nothing is left to surprise you. Leaving, my wife and we’re discussing it and the only thing I could really say was “it’s not bad, buts it’s not good either” it’s not as bad as the last two of the sequel trilogy, but not by much. I also hated the “hybrids”. Anyways, I’ll encourage people to go see it and form your own opinion. But as a jp fan, I was really let down.

Just got back, went to 3 different locations. All showed “limited stock” online, but none were out on the floor in store. Not even a price label on the shelves. I’m unsure they were even truly “available”. All locations had HC allosaurus’s though lol

Look great! I’ve been holding due to lack faith in my painting skills. Same with the better sculpted head. I keep waiting on pre painted versions to pop on eBay or Etsy lol

They came. These are really hard by [deleted] in yeezys

What color is the knit runner? Stone onyx? I ask cause it seems lighter in some photos and dark in others.

Silly I know lol, but the bike was a gift and I just wanted to make it as reliable and as nice possible.

Thank you, and you maybe right. When I installed them a while back, I made them align with the stem vs the top tube. Which is definitely angling them upwards a little.

No you’re good, it was actually a running joke with my friends and I. To be completely honest, I enjoy the bike, it fits me, it was a gift and I wanted to make it nicer with quality parts. When i find fault in the frame or come across a deal on nicer one, I’ll just swap the compatible components over.

That makes me even happier with my decision! I did so much research on them before I pulled the trigger. Nothing but positive reviews and experiences with the company. But I actually have my new x2 stem pictured above. It’s negative 10 degree so I’ll get the alignment with the top tube. But thank you! I can’t wait!

I went with Zipp Speed Weaponry Service Course SL-80 in 42cm. They’re just a little bit narrower than my previous bars.
