Shipping kills the deal

$5 shipping? No Prime, no want.

"Life-like hyde texture", how do they know?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Maybe if you order two they'll combine shipping and only charge $5 for both.

the mount looks like it is on some mondo prehistoric skateboard.

The guy calculating shipment rates is brilliant.

Only $49,999? Seems too good to be true. I'd only consider paying a minimum of $50k for something like that.

The thing moves and roars? That is actually pretty cool.

So I'm not sure if everyone gets the same things on this, but looking at the "Customers who viewed this item also viewed" I get the following:
Atomic Fireball Candy
Double Clothes Hook
Dog blonde wig
Rolex pre-owned watch
Raid spray
and...drumroll...reverse vaginal tightening gel

To be honest I can see somebody that enjoys extravagant Halloween setups possibly being interested in commissioning expensive pieces like this. Normally what you will see though is something that can be built and torn down and stored with (relative) ease. Seeing as this is basically a permanent statue it seems suited for only theme parks, and as such its presence on amazon is kind of ridiculous.

"Life-like hyde texture", how do they know?

It doesn't specify what kind of "hyde" life like. Maybe "Life-like cow hyde texture"

Read sale adds thoroughly!

I actually have two that lead up to my mansion. I should probably leave a review.

Dumbass. He obviously doesn't do much selling on eBay. If the price was $5 and shipping was $49.999.99, it would sell instantly.

Since I dropped Prime early last year I've place exactly one Amazon order. Why wait a week or even two for an order, be required to order at least $49 to get free shipping, and now have to pay sales tax on top of it? I can order many of the same things from Walmart and pick them up with free shipping, without having to place a $49 order, and have them in a couple of days. Last week I ordered a $2.96 jar of peanut butter, which cost $3.01 after tax, free shipping, and had it three days later.

It's based on your search history.

I get a bunch (20) animatronic scupltures, a gargoyle, some LEDs, an LED controller, 2 other dinosaurs. Can I interest you in a Raptor? Tre affordabale. That shipping though.

I have a friend who does Halloween & horror animatronics & costumes, the amount of time & work put into even simple ones is insane. It's basically the same as what those guys who do the tiny forests on hyper-realistic train sets do, only on a larger scale and with electronics built-in for movements, sounds, lights, etc. Lots of painting, hand-made pieces, etc. It gave me a lot more appreciation for set work, even on ones that I view as kinda crappy, like on the old TNG where the aliens were simply human modifications...even those take hours & hours of painstaking work.
