Answer 2

Lets hope they aren't doing it one bone per issue...........


At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood rolls around, some of our bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in our body!

Here is the breakdown:

The adult skeleton consists of 206 bones . . .

- 28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones);

- the horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck;

- 26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck, 12 thorax, 5 lumbar or loins, the sacrum which is five fused vertebrae, and the coccyx, our vestigial tail, which is four fused vertebrae);

- 24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bone in the body, and 2 scapulae);

- the pelvic girdle (2 fused bones);

- 30 bones in our arms and legs (a total of 120);

- There are also a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints.

Basically, there are 7 vertebrae and the hyoid bone in the neck. Some of the above information was taken from this site, which has an extremely detailed breakdown of the skeletal system and its capabilities . . .


Should cost about the price of a small car by the time you're finished !!!!!!!!! You have my sympathy

Answer 3

I've been caught out by these type of magazine people too (Star Trek Fact Files, stopped collecting after # 70 ish I think that it went on for at least another 100 issues).

In short you will not get an answer out of them, they do not say how many are in a run as you would add the total up & realise how much you are spending !!!

Answer 4

My experience with this type of long selling magazine has been an average number of issues is 90+.
Which means of course that you pay about £500 for the article you build Dinosaur, Skeleton or Ship etc.
But that's why they're in the business and forgive me for saying so but it's gullible people who make it possible for them.

Answer 5

Aaaaaaah tell me about it. I have been collecting them for an eternity. I get them ordered from W.H.Smiths and last week they contacted deagostini on my behalf and you can't actually get to speak to anybody so, I am none the wiser. I'll tell you what though if I have to carry on collecting them for much longer I'll be a pile of bloody bones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/dkCUn
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Answer 7

They will not answer questions....I was so fed up some years ago collecting a Doll's House. It took a couple of years to complete and cost hundreds. Will NEVER be caught again.

Answer 8

i think there are about 60 ish in total not 100% positive. sorry
