M and S mini dino bags

[UK]

Any other UK based members seen these in Marks and Spencers? Looks like based on the old Tedco figures.

Oooh, very interesting, I shall have to look in M&S for these, I'd quite like to get some of those early reptiles or sea creatures... unless they are just doing the dinosaurs?

They had all of them in their Bournemouth branch. Might need to grab them quick as they don't normally sell toys there.

The packaging is almost identical to the Cog Ltd/Tedco figures, and the figures look identical. If anybody buys the pterosaur pack, I'd love to know whether you get a Pterodaustro or a Quetzalcoatlus. The ones here have Pterodaustro on the package, but inside is almost always a Quetzalcoatlus.

Have I got this right... there are 6 different figures in each category (dinosaurs, flying reptiles etc.) and you get 4 figures from that specific category in one pack, rather than 4 random species from across all the categories?

Well, this is another interesting "blind" bag.

In my experience, it is just 4. Most of the time, it's the same 4. For example, I don't know anybody who has seen an Aysheaia or a Desmatosuchus in the last year at least. So theoretically there are only 24 currently available in the States, but despite the package and insert saying that the pterosaur bag contains Pterodaustro, it usually contains Quetzalcoatlus.


EDIT
Here's a link to a thread that gives the full list of the 24 figures that are currently available in the US bags, and the 12 that seem to have disappeared.

Just looked on the M&S online shop and they have all the bags listed except for the dinosaurs... could that be because they sold out faster, due to them being more appealing to the little people?

Wow, interesting! Hopefully some of these contain the as yet unre-released figures. Forum members who huy these, please let us know if they do!

I'm ordering all the sets through the online shop, because of general laziness.

Can't say I have seen them, but it's a while since I've been to M&S for anything other than a quick food shop. I'll have to go and look if my dangerously light purse will allow me!

i wonder if these are available in non-UK M&S branches (they do have overseas branches)
