I also think that Jurassic Park will be out this week. I'm in the minority but I don't see anything that implies that it's delayed. I thought that the videos were taken down to promote a different game since JP is near it's release. Maybe there will be a delay but I doubt it. I've been wrong before though. We should know for certain today hopefully.
As for memories. I loved JP so much when it came out that I convinced my dad to take me 18 (yes 18) times to see it in the theaters. To this day it's my all time favorite movie!

I have a feeling we'll know about a release sometime this week. Hopefully today. I did look at the Dinosaur Week article and noticed that it was written from San Francisco. Now, correct me if I'm wrong because I don't know where IGN's HQ is, but isn't it a tad Ironic that Telltale Games' HQ just happens to be in San Francisco too? Not to mention them using the Jurassic Park font for the title. Seems fishy to me. At any rate, hopefully Alan, Mark, Joe, or someone can step in and give us info on what's gonna go on. We're at the final stretch folks! Hold on to your Butts!

Mine too. Almost 2 decades later, and there is no rightful contender. That day I decided to be a paleontologist. At the end I became historian-archaeologist, but dinosaurs are still my great love. I am buying books with newest updates about our understanding of dinosaurs, watching documentaries, and saving for one of those http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=5555. But 18 times... wow...Telltale should organize a JP fandom contest, to see which member is the greatest fan. Ah, that would be cool

That would be awesome. But what would be the grand prize, besides increasing the size of someone's ego? (not that it's a bad thing with JP, but it does depend on who wins)

The prize would be a replica john hammond cane with an all expense paid trip to telltales secret island get away
So did i. I made my parents buy me all sorts of books about dinosaurs or anything really that had to do with prehistoric animals if it had a picture of a dino i wanted it (i still have my old dinosaur encyclopedia). i also made them take me to the museum at least once a week so i could see the dinosaurs on display.

I still own nearly every dinosaur book I've had since I could walk (including 6 copies of Jurassic Park), I own practically every dinosaur toy I've ever been given, several dinosaur pictures, drawings, stamps, cards, etc, fossil replicas, JP prop replicas, the JP script, you name it, I've probably got it somewhere. Since I live so far from the museum here, I make it a point to visit at least once a year, if not more often. Paleontology has been my childhood dream, and is strongly becoming something I am considering pursuing as my career. After having met, and outsmarted, 6 Paleontologists at the age of 9, everything just really kicked into high gear. Plus I got a free hadrosaur vertabre fragment out of it courtesy of that group's leader, who commended me with my knowledge at the time. Still one of my most prized non JP related dinosaur artifacts.
Whew, things have gotten a little crazy(er) in here :P
Well, first day of Dino week on IGN, who's pumped?
Tensions were bound to rise to extremes at one point or another. I'm Mega-Pumped for Dino Week, but sorta taken aback by it soley because I have to work (damn you, reality) and thus will likely miss any information as it comes out. Ah well, as long as we get some info today or tomorrow, I'll be one happy dinosaur.

I myself still own many of the JP related toys and collectibles that i aquired as a child and made it a habit to read about dinosaurs every night unfortunately the thing that does alude me is an actual fossil.

I own almost every JP toy I've been given (it's all I would play with as a kid) save for one or two that I'm not sure whether I still have or not. My rarest JP toy by far is probably the JPS2 'Demon' Carnotaurus (which is currently misplaced, unfortunately), and possibly the Thrasher and Bull T-Rex's.
I own several fossils including the Hadrosaur vertebre fragment, some small Ammonite shells, fossilized plant matter, fossilized lava, corpolite (no dinosaur fossil collection is complete without dino dung), a possible partial footprint, and a fossilized tooth that my brother-in-law found in a canyon out on my dad's ranch.
As for replica's, I own a 10 1/2 inch musem quality Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth (root included), a 1/4 scale Tyrannosaurus Rex skull, a 1/1 scale Coelophysis skull in the matrix, a 5 inch Spinosaurus Tooth, a 6 inch Velociraptor claw (Jurassic Park prop based on the one Grant is seen using at the digsite in the first movie. Amazing prop) and finally a species record 11 3/4 inch Allosaurus thumb claw.
No, no, no...I have no idea about where IGN is located. I just was saying that if it were in San Francisco, it wouldn't be ironic.
Ah, well that does make sense irregardless. Point in case, it does seem fishy to me that they'd use the JP font for dinosaur week and that the article was based in San Francisco, where TTG's HQ is located and just so happens to be making a JP game. To me, it just seems to add up that there will possibly be a release this week, most likely being Friday (hopefully sooner if it's possible). Let's hope Alan or one of the other team members can grace us with their presense and knowledge of what's going on behind the veil.

Nice collection i used to love playing with my JP toys especially my muldoon figure and later my roland figure but every time i would imagine them eaten by my dinosaur toys. (poor muldoon)
It would be interesting if IGNS dino week was directly affiliated with the JP game, or if its just a stunt they wanted to do because the JP game is (supposedly) releasing this week. I spose in a few hours when this Dinosaur Week begins we'll know what it exactly is, or maybe they won't post anything today either and the mystery will deepen....

Muldoon was actually the first non dinosaur JP figure I ever got. Unfortunately I lost him, but I still have a few of the other figures laying around somewhere, mostly from TLW's toy line. I'm planning on purchasing the figures as they show up on eBay just to have a complete set. I could assign them as Park Staff for my JP Compound or something.

Only one way to find out for sure. Let the waiting commence!
My first EVER dinosaur toy/JP toy was Nedy (lol). Something about that little green dilo turned on something inside me that is alive and well until this day. Which is funny, because the baby dilo sculpt is one of the weaked designs in the JP line

I never did get Nedry. Although I did hear that he was the only human figure out of Kenner's line to actually feature dino damage.
Oh 93', they would never make a toy like that for kids now. Yes, there are gory action figures today, but they are marketed to adult collectors. JP toys for made and marketed towards little kids like me.
Today will be released bttf, wed will be hector and friday JP
Hopefully you're right. It makes sense for JP to be on Friday and the rest of 'Dinosaur Week' could be used to hype it up. Maybe a new trailer or a meet the actors kinda thing

Ah, those were the days. I miss the days of JP dinosaurs with realistic skin and gory dino damage (best invention ever for a dinosaur toy) wounds. I really wish Kenner had kept the licensing rights to make JP toys. The ones for JP3 were lacklustor at best. I own almost all of those ones, but hard plastic just doesn't appeal as much as rubber and latex.
Fun fact, it would've been nice if Kenner had released the two toys that never saw the light of day. a 3 foot tall Brachiosaurus, and a John Hammond figure.
I had a series 2 grant, the one with the funny arm pad, who met a cruel end in the form of my dad's lawn mower. I loved playing JP outside, becaue cmon, its outside! Poor grant, I found a couple pieces of him and used him for some of my more gory JP playtimes.

Grant was the one figure that constantly eluded me. No matter how badly I wanted him, I just could not find him. Hopefully someday I can find him loose (mint would be nice too) on eBay for a fair price. Same goes for Sattler, Muldoon, Malcom, Tim, Nedry, and all of the Dino Trackers/Evil Ryders line.
Yeah, JP3 toys sucked. I've collected every (read: every!) JP toy MIB thats ever been released, was trying to do the same with JP3, but after series 2 when that camo-xtreme sh*t came out, I was just like, "seriously hasbro?" and quit trying.
The JP3 dino toy designs were for the most part silly and cartoony, except for the first raptor, it looks like the JP series 1 electric raptor sculpt with a new pose, paint job, and feathers, and I LOVE it.

As for memories. I loved JP so much when it came out that I convinced my dad to take me 18 (yes 18) times to see it in the theaters. To this day it's my all time favorite movie!

As long as the replica is screen accurate, I'm up for the challenge.

And maybe a runner up could get one of the tasers from the movie

I stand corrected then.
No need to apologize. I was actually hoping someone would come in and clear that matter up. Not afraid to admit when I'm wrong.

I used to have a Dilo from the first toy line, but it vanished long ago. The only JP dilo I have right now is the one from JP3
That seems likely.. but Telltale has weird guys...
so who knows?
