Future of Add-ons????

[lowelker]

Well we've had some bad/sad news regarding the add-on kits. Alchemy closing and kits being mothballed.
Are any kits still being produced in future besides bases? I'm scared to think of the fated Ichy, Neanderthal Woman and Mammoth tar pit additions.


Will we ever see a resurgence in interest?

I passed on only a couple add-on kits with regret.

I was hoping to see a few more though- the Sloth for one.


Anywho,,,, might we still see some entries you sculptors out there?



Love all you've done so far.
Thanks,
Jim

I am sure there will be more coming down the line.
Steve hasn't given up on things, just slowed down drastically due to circumstances.
Prehistorix is still cranking things out. Not all are just bases either.

Personally though, I would actually like a bit of a slow down on add ons. My wallet needs to recover and I still have more to grab yet.

Hear, hear, on the wallet aspect actually.
I don't mind waiting on kits coming out: waited a couple years for a paid for Star Wars kit-I am very patient.
I just don't want things to dry up. I know there are only so many kits that can be produced before we get into the repetitive 'just needing a new head' as with the spiked and flying beasts.

I really am happy with what I have!! I don't mean to sound whiny.

No wonder I seem a bit overwhelmed with all the add-ons.

If you look at this page
www.tylisaari.com/prehistoricscenes/kits/addons/ind.html

You can see all the add-ons that have been produced in the last 10 years (actually 8 years as the earliest one was 2 years ahead of the rest)
If my math is correct it is right around 95 different parts

This is a cool resource Tay. Looking at the list there are some classic add-ons that have been produced over the years. Sadly too many of them are out of production. Many of them came and went before I got back in to the PS scene.

That' is a lot of Add-ons!!! Sad that most are defunct! Glad I got what I could from Alchemy!
Yep, I haven't quit but things aren't falling into place like I'd hoped. Thankfully, Jeff Brown has made the Pachy a reality. Still waiting patiently for the Ichthyosaur and the Neanderthal Woman.

I am still hoping to find some money this year to get a few more items from Mike before he closes up shop.
But right now, things aren't looking too good.

As for Aroara, look at the bright side, at least your reposed tiger made it to resin.
Maybe you could get with Mark and do something with that reposed neanderthal man too.
And I still want to get another Pachy when I round up the cash, along with those trees.

Wow! That’s quite a list! Thanks for compiling it….. whew!
At Prehistorix, I am re tooling the Tiger mold so there will be more Tigers in the coming months…..

Yikes!
I did something I probably shouldn't have.
I totaled up how my all my add-ons cost

$4100.00 and climbing!

Love the list. I couldn't help but notice there are quit a lot of question marks in the general location of Jurassic Arts listings.

Hhhmmmm.
I'm very sad.

That is only because Scott has been busy.
He mentioned something about getting married.
I know how much time that consumes so I haven't bothered him.
I'm sure most of his stuff will be available again. I just have to make sure I have funds to grab some of them next time.
