Good sauropods for a Christmas gift?

The holiday season is coming along, and if there's one thing I don't have, it's the sauropods in my collection. I was wondering recently what would be a good purchase for a Christmas gift, specifically sauropods! Things take a while to ship here, so I tend to buy stuff early because of this. Any ideas of what to get? I haven't really found anything great. Thanks!

Only thing I won't be getting is any Mattel sauropods due to there extreme prices and articulation.

Any of eofaunas
pnsos recent lingwulong
Or even safaris 2013 brachiosaurus

All of these are decent-amazing figures in accuracy and sculpt

This. To add on one more, CollectA's Mamenchisaurus is great, and (imo) better than PNSO's.

If you like jp style figures and price ain't a issue I'd recommend Nanmu's sauropods
If you want an accurate one eofaunas are excellent, and Safari has quite a roster to choose from as well

Seeing how the prices of the Mattel ones ( which are actually reasonably priced for their size ) were seen as "extreme", I would say Nanmu is off the table.

Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I would say first and foremost the PNSO Lingwulong; then the Eofauna Diplodocus; and the CollectA Mamenchisaurus and Bajadasaurus if you don't have them already.

Concavenator

These are the ones I would recommend:

- Eofauna Atlasaurus and Diplodocus
- PNSO Lingwulong
- CollectA Mamenchisaurus
- GR Toys Dicraeosaurus
- Safari Camarasaurus

Ah yes, the GR Dicraeosaurus is excellent.

Nanmu I would rather buy due to the lack of articulation. I understand they are reasonably priced but I have not had a good experience with Mattel models in the past, thus why I have zero interest in getting any of them.  :(

+ shipping is absurd for a lot of sauropods so I would rather spend the same amount of money for something I would actually like

I'm not sure where you are, but if you're in North America, Happy Hen and DeJankins both carry a good assortment of CollectA's sauropods. Not all of them are winners, but there are plenty of good ones, like Daxiatitan, Brontosaurus, and the Mamenchisaurus and Bajadasaurus already mentioned above.
