They are beautiful, but I'll stick to repainting the plastic Schleich ones.
This is my boomstick!

The price seems fair to me. That trike, especially. The sculpting looks ace and they are quite big, so materials cost too, lest we forget.
Everything is better with lizardmen.

they look really nice

however, in terms of authenticity, dynamics, detail and price nothing goes above the Tamiya 1/48 range

hard to obtain in Germany however...

the small Tyranno is excellent as a huge mount, but the velociraptors from the 2 sets

are just the right size to replace horses
multiple interchangable parts for various postures

You can get this very nice trike at Amazon for $13 US.  This is why for run-of-the-mill critters I'd rather repaint nice toys and save my big money for really gribbly minis that don't have substitutes.
