From one collector to another
Please forgive us.
The photo we attached to our blog post yesterday was subsequently found to be a forged photo. Some unscrupulous character imposed our business name over a Hamley’s Toy Store photograph. How dare them.
We apologize for this mistake and will attempt to engage another photographer to capture a more accurate likeness of our new location. Our apologies also go to Hamley’s Toy Store in London, England (a really great place to pick up toys.)
Thank you.
The time has come for DeJankins to leave the “temporary” location we moved to last November. Effective April 6th, we will be at our new (and we hope last) permanent location - in the metropolis of Yadkinville, North Carolina.
We contracted to have a photo of our store taken and we are pleased to share it with you below. You can continue to expect the best prices for the finest in current prehistoric animal collectibles from DeJankins.
Please note that our new phone number will be
(336) 961-2599. Our new street address will be:
3332 Greenbriar Drive
Yadkinville, NC 27055-5654
Remember, this will all be effective on April 6, 2013. Thank you for your support over these past 17 years. We look forward to many more years of collecting and sharing prehistoric figures with you!
Can you believe 2013 is here? The new prehistoric collectibles will be arriving from our favorite manufacturers any day now. Just as we do each year, DeJankins will have all the new 2013 figures at really great prices for you.
The Carnegie Concavenator and Bullyland prehistoric felines should be the first new pieces available, with other Safari, Papo and CollectA figures following over the next few months. The new Schleich dinosaurs will be some of the last to arrive, along with the second wave of CollectA items. Currently, we’re estimating an early summer arrival for those guys. We’re also planning on having new products from Mojö and Kinto Favorite, but we don’t yet have an estimate on their U.S. availability. Rest assured that we’re keeping our ear to the ground for any new information!
Something else you will see in the DeJankins store will be more of the recent collectibles from Europe and the East over the past few years. Figures from the various Simba Predators and DinoFroz lines will be listed as well as most of the One2Play DinoWaurs pieces. Additional Sega Dinosaur King toys and a few Koro Koro figures will also be available. Many (though not all) of these collectibles will have the complete packet and literature which came with the items originally. Keep checking our store for updates!
Also, in appreciation for our customers (...drumroll please...) one of the 2013 figures will have an ULTRA-LOW price. When ordered with any other figure(s) from DeJankins, the CollectA Pachycephalosaurus (due in June) will be free! You can understand why we must limit this to one per customer until we exhaust our supply...but hey we do what we can!
So start saving your loose coins. There’s sure to be something for everyone from DeJankins very soon!
Just a few days ago, we gave the DeJankins store wheels and hauled our exquisite collection of dinosaurs to a new home.
We are now located at:
5742 Stanleyville Drive
Winston-Salem, NC 27105
You can contact us at this email address, or call us at our new number: 336-377-9318. Please note- if you emailed us recently and haven’t receive a reply, it’s because we didn’t receive your email. We encountered a bit of a glitch with our mail provider and would appreciate it if you could resend any such note. Thanks!
It has finally arrived - the Mojö Deluxe Tyrannosaurus rex is now in stock at DeJankins. Get yours for just $15 plus shipping. Also, we’ve checked with our supplier and been told that the Papo Brachiosaurus is still expected sometime the first week of November, so we hopefully have just a few more days to bite our nails.
Order your Mojö T-rex now and keep checking back for the Papo Brachiosaurus!
Delay delay delay!!
Originally slated to be available in July, the new ETA for the much anticipated Brachiosaurus from Papo is now November 1st. That’s right - four months late!
Though this is not good news, at least it’s some news, and we wanted to make you aware of this new “expected” date.
Be sure to get your Brachiosaurus from DeJankins. Only $36! Compare our prices; we think you’ll be pleased.
Let me get right to it, there is much information to share.
First, all the new 2012 figures have arrived at DeJankins and are ready for your collectors shelf, with only two exceptions. The Mojö Deluxe Tyrannosaurus is supposed to be available sometime in September, and the Papo Brachiosaurus (which was to be out in July) has been pushed back a month to sometime in mid-August. But everything else is here – the Safari Carnegie Brachiosaurus, all the 2012 Procon CollectA figures, Schleich World of History series, Marolin Tyrannosaurus and Megatherium, and the Bullyland Mastodonsaurus and reproduction prehistoric mammals. They are all waiting for you here at DeJankins.
Also, the Sideshow Collectibles Stegosaurus and baby is now shipping. I understand that $315 is pretty steep for most of us collectors, but that’s the best (authorized) price you’re going to find for this piece. Their other dinosaurs are similarly lower-priced. Check out our store.
Bullyland has notified us that they are selling off the last of their “medium” dinosaurs on bases. I’ve placed an order for what they have left (only eight of the original twelve pieces). We still have a precious few of the others, but there aren’t many left. Get them while you can! Find them in our store under “Bullyland Other Figures and Products”.
The Papo baby T-rexes turned out to be much better than I thought they were going to be, but they are also much smaller than I was expecting. They aren’t too small, just smaller than I thought they would be. It’s amazing to me that their cost is the same as the Tylosaurus and the newer ceratopsians, and that just doesn’t make sense. So, I’m cutting their prices by 10% (to $11.25) for anyone that wants to get them.
Bullyland mammal tags . . . if you purchased the Mastodon Gomphotherium you may have noticed that the information inside the tag was for the Mastodonsaurus, even though the outside of the tag is certainly for the Gomphotherium. Bullyland has reprinted the tags with the proper inside information, and I am happy to make the replacement available to you (if you purchased your Mastodon from DeJankins). Just let me know if you want one. There is no charge for this (not even postage!!) I have only a limited number of these, so they will be available first come, first served.
I have also acquired a very limited supply of hang tags for other Bullyland prehistoric animals. I will make them available first come, first served as well. Please look in our store under “Bullyland Prehistoric Mammals and Man” to see what we have available. I must limit these to only two tags per person as they are so limited. Again, no charge here. If you are missing tags from some of your figures, I might be able to help replace those. I must note, however, that these are the newest style tag, not old style tags.
Thank you for your patronage of DeJankins! Our goal is to help you get affordable, quality prehistoric collectibles for your own personal prehistoric collection. Let us know if there are ways we can improve our service or offerings for you.
DeJankins has been notified by Schleich North America that their 12 new World of History dinosaurs have been shipped and should be here in North Carolina by the end of the week!
And what a shipment – according to the tracking website, the 14 boxes weigh a total of 180 pounds!! Check the figures out in our store – some nicely redone pieces, and a few new ones! Here’s a deal to go with this announcement – 10% off the first six Schleich orders received after this blog hits the website... Ready....GO!
The new 2012 Bullyland Therizinosaurus and Spinosaurus are now available at DeJankins. They arrived about a week ago and are ready to be shipped your way at a moment’s notice.
In other Bullyland news, things are progressing well with the re-productions of the Bullyland Prehistoric Mammal figures. Current estimates are still saying that these figures should be available in June or July. I’ll soon add them to our “store,” along with their expected prices.
Here is another “Bully” surprise – DeJankins will have a good quantity of the Bullyland Mastodonsaurus (above) available this summer as well. We’re expecting it to have a price tag of about $16 or so. It will be nice to have some of these fellows back in stock, so keep watching, and get your Mastodonsaurus here!
And, though not Bullyland figures, they hail from the same great place in Europe ... the Marolin Megatherium and Tyrannosaurus rex (below) are within days of arriving here at DeJankins! We contracted with the good folks at Marolin / Richard Mahr GmbH in Germany to repair the old molds and recast these two figures! Plenty will be arriving here soon and the cost is only $17.50 each! If you don’t have these “indexes of old paleontological thought,” you really need to have them in your collection! Not everything that scientists tell us about dinosaurs withstands the test of time, as these figures will remind you. Great additions for all prehistoric animal collections!
Thanks to our WONDERFUL customers like you, DeJankins is proud to announce that our customer base now infiltrates 6 of 7 continents!
To celebrate, we’d like to offer a 25% discount to anyone who places an order with an Antarctica mailing address. Until then, we’ll go ahead and call ourselves a fully global company. For a homespun business, we think that’s pretty substantial!
Thank you for your continued support of DeJankins! And happy shopping to all Antarctica adventurers!
