Mattel, Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom toys - new for 2018

[stargatedalek]

The Destruct-A-Saurs Dilophosaurus set is now on the Canada Toys R Us website. Looks like it is $16.99 With the google conversion thing it is close to $13, which is pretty close to what these would have been if they had gone up on (US) Amazon, if it weren't for them not going through with carrying them.

@stargatedalek Assuming the Velociraptor set is the same price, I can probably pay you that $13 this Friday (or more if need be, to cover taxes, etc). Not entirely sure about if shipping would be able to paid this week though, depending on how much it is. I'll send you a PM on this on Friday.

I would rather not accept payment until I'm sure I can get it for you if that's ok.

That sounds fine. I guess if you can, you'll send me a PM then?

If I spot them in stores I'll send you a PM, and if I spot them on the website I'll share it here.

So far only the Dilo appeared on the website briefly.

Alright. Thanks. Worst case scenario there's always ebay like I did to get the Spinosaurus. Just a matter of time I guess. But I can be patient, since there's plenty of other things to tide me over until then (the Parasauruolophus, and some amiibo's).

Looks like the Destruct-A-Saur Velociraptor and Pteranodon sets have been added to Toys R US Canada's website now.

Is international shipping from Canada really expensive?
I'm interested in the Velociraptor set

Looks like these toys won Action Figure of the year.

Despite all the distribution problems and Spinosaurus controversy, we can all agree that Mattel truly deserves this award as they have produced one of the greatest toy lines in all of Jurassic Park/ Jurassic World history.
Congratulations Mattel!

Second to BotM, for my money, but it is a pretty good action figure line.

...So, I actually had a dream last night, about going to Target to check on the stock for something (might have been this line, might have been something else, I can't remember), but in the process of talking with an employee, I found out they had backstock of the Spinosaurus - which I promptly was shown and went into shock over. 
A little while later I woke up. Bleh.

I knew I was wanting that blasted figure, but I didn't think it would go that far!!

[Faelrin]

@Fembrogon It's funny you mention having a dream of searching for something from this line. Earlier this week I dreamed of finding the Coelurus and green Herrerasaurus. Of course in reality I have not yet the luck of finding them yet. I will be giving it to April to pick up hunting for them, unless I come across it in March.

Seems like the elusive Battle Damage Wave 3 are starting to show up more regularly. I’ve seen them a few times over the last week. Really like the brown raptor. The battle damage is the best raptor sculpt so far. I will say the packaging on the Wave 3 is garbage though. You can see what I mean in my review. Glad they stepped away from going the cheap route.

I can confirm, the other day I stopped by a few Wal-Marts and I saw them for the first time at retail. Now, I've seen them at nearly every Walmart I've visited.

[Faelrin]

Just a heads up in case anyone is interested. Now this might not be a creature, but the Gyrosphere Blast Vehicle set is about 50% off right now on amazon. Here's the link to it: https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-World-Gyrosphere-Blast-Vehicle/dp/B076FSHFHK

I was eyeballing it recently, so pretty cool to see it went on sale. Now I just need to figure out where I will put this once I have it. 

[Loon]

@Faelrin that's probably the best non-JP vehicle from the Mattel line. Definitely worth $15; but, yes, the size is the biggest issue.

[Dino Scream3232]

Legacy Collection 6 pack is on clearance at most targets. Glad I waited lol. Excellent value for $25. Not all targets have them on clearance so keep your eyes open.

To fellow members in the Philippines, local shops have limited stocks of the latest batch (Amargasaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, recolored Stego and Suchomimus).  They're being sold at 45 USD (equiv) though, instead of the expected 19-20 USD.

Feeling the effects of the trade wars...

[CityRaptor]

Woah! And I thought Germany had inflated prices.

Saw the Indominus today. Pretty good looking. Apparently Müller also carries the normal Dino Rivals Battle Damage figures now instead of only  the Rexes, Lockwood set and Mini 15-pack. Only saw Blue however, for 15 Euros. Humans ( red: Owens and Wheatleys ) are now marked down to 7 Euros.

[Faelrin]

Just a heads up for anyone interested (and in the US), and has been putting this set off for as long as I have, the Destruct-A-Saurs Pteranodon Helicopter set is being sold for $10 right now on Walmart's website.

Well uh, I stumbled upon this earlier today. I see that this is from Jurassic Unboxing, so I may have to do some digging to find out the origin of this image, but at least we know now what the sadly canceled (?) Dimetrodon set would have been in package (which is with the Compsognathus, not the Microceratus after all this time we were left thinking). There was a brief look at it at SDCC back in 2018 as well. Thought I would share this for anyone interested though.



I can't remember if I shared this already here or not, but another set I thought was canceled (this might be appropriate for me to post in the 2019 thread as well), is the Matchbox set with the Mosasaurus and Sea Sub. I know there was an image of what the set looked like at Toy Fair that Jurassic Outpost shared, but it turns out it is finally getting a release in Dino Rivals packaging and seems to have been popping up lately in some places (as a few have been for sale on ebay, though as one can guess, also overpriced).

A look at the original unreleased set:
