🦕 Where It All Began

As an avid collector of all things Jurassic, Andrew started the Rexys Reviews YouTube channel in 2020 – and that's where the business name got its origin story! As the world around us all got a little crazier than any of us could have ever imagined, having a creative outlet to share knowledge and passion with like-minded collectors and new Dino fans was a welcome reprieve. Early feedback across social media gave the jolt needed to charge ahead and unleash Rexys Reviews into the wider world.

🦖 Rexys in the Wild!

As the world began to open back up, Andrew and his family decided to share their love and Jurassic knowledge – along with an ever-growing collection of Dino display props, vehicles, and a first attempt at cosplay – out into the wild. With the support of the team at Unleashed Events, Rexys Reviews attended their first Comic Convention as Exhibitors and were blown away by the excitement from fellow Dino fans who couldn't wait to see what was coming next.

🛒 Rexys Goes Retail

With encouragement from fellow collectors facing the same frustrations in sourcing reliable outlets for rarer stock and 'grail' items, Andrew took the plunge and developed the Rexys Reviews Dino Store to reach a wider range of Jurassic fans – both in the UK and across the world.

From books, games and toys to vintage collectables and memorabilia – if it's dinosaur related, we'll try and stock it. We've built an international network of suppliers, manufacturers and wholesale outlets to bring together everything that fellow Jurassic fans could possibly need, based on the items that Andrew himself would have top of his own wish list!

🏪 The Next Chapter

Listening to the online Jurassic community, our event display continued to expand and our product range kept growing. Rexys Reviews became a regular at Comic Conventions, Toy Fairs and Corporate events across the UK. In March 2022, we moved into our first brick-and-mortar store in South Shields – and with the support of the roarsome Jurassic community, we quickly outgrew it!

In September 2025, we relocated to Dunston, Gateshead – bigger, better, and with more teeth! 🦷
