Mattel - New for 2023

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I know they're not Mattel but I need to vent a little about how hard it is to find the Captivz eggs. I came across some Dominion ones recently at a Walgreens and Walmart, but their stock of them was almost gone and in the case of Walgreens once they were gone they didn't get more. I was hoping to find some JP30 or hatchling eggs so I decided to go on a dedicated egg hunt today.

I looked at the Captivz website and saw a list of places to find them. Target and Five Below were on the list but I've never seen them there and go to those stores often, so I didn't bother with those. I went to two different Family Dollars, Big Lots, and a Walmart I rarely visit. NOTHING! One Family Dollar had an empty Dominion Captivz box, and that was it. I'm frustrated and officially giving up on these damn eggs. And the Walmart also had the same tired old Mattel stuff. The only new stuff were the Epic Attack Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus. So tired of these wasted trips.

Five Below only ever had the Hatchling Captivz that I've seen. The 30th Ann. ones I've found only at Walmart and they seem to have dried up except for a few of the larger eggs. I haven't seen any of the Wave 2 pieces for that line that are turning up on eBay. 

Which Dominion ones were you looking for? I bought a quantity of the eggs but I'm about out of those. I do have a lot of open/loose figures though.

The Lystrosaurus is the only Dominion figure I really want. There are others I like too but I don't need them.

I had several and have sold a few. I'll double check if there are any left.

Is there anyone outside the US having better luck with finding one? Alternatively does anyone here have access to Fred Meyers? Not fully sure if they have it in stock online there, but they won't ship to me anyways, as I'm in PA.

Took me quite a while to find the Nothosaurus as well. They were in stock briefly at local Smyths and Entertainer toy stores, but quickly went out of stock as demand was so high. Plenty of shelf warming Xuanhanosaurus and Piatnitzkysaurus though .

The series that contains it has been in Canada where I live for about a month --but as many people noted, the Nothosaurus is the first to run out. That said I did see some recently

I have a few spare Dominion and 30th Anniversary Captivz figures. No Lystrosaurus unfortunately but if there were any others you had a hankering for you can let me know and I'll see what I have.

Thanks for the offer. I'm good though. There's nothing else I'm really pursuing hard. Mostly just wishing I could find them myself and buy one once in awhile.

I live in Canada too, so far I've seen the Nothosaurus and baby Brachiosaurus appear as loners among multiples of Austroraptors and Elaphrosaurus in two different Walmarts. I've only ever seen the Tupandactylus and Xuanhanosaurus once and snagged them.

For Captivz, I've only ever seen the Fallen Kingdom wave, and Dominion Waves 1 and 3. Oh, and the big ones few of us care about.

Fierce changers are such a waste of plastic. I might have been able to sell them in my shop for 4-5.00 as a novelty.

I know kids like action features though..they seem to get bored very quickly otherwise.

Makes me wish this was the Siamosaurus sculpt instead, am a fan of the tail paddle... Though I mean, I can always pretend that it's a Siamosaurus...

Legit my most anticipated release from Mattel this year.

Can't wait

First official image of the Legacy Collection Mamenchisaurus.

[Prehistory Resurrection]

A new release for the Epic Attack Line, the Walmart-exclusive "Final Clash Pack", likely inspired by the Jurassic Park Visitor Centre showdown. Yet another T-Rex and raptor. I feel this was a wasted opportunity from Mattel to create a Legacy Collection Visitor Centre Showdown playset. We already have a LC playset with 2 raptors, the iconic banner, Hammond and Sattler, but this time it would be an opportunity to create a playset with the proper characters in the scene and the complimentary diorama. Oh well....

Mamench looking better than I was expecting.  Looking forward to seeing more pics......and most likely getting it. 

[MLMjp]

I skipped the Dreadnoughtus, because space reasons.

But Mamenchisaurus, despite having less screen time than Dread, is a much more iconic species...

My parents will kill me...

A Visitor Center would be a way different price class...and not something you would have someone fickle like Walmart handle.
