[Primeval12]

What do they cost?

[stargatedalek]

$8 USD

[Tyrannax]

I just picked up the Crylophosaurus. Went to grab the Pachyrhinosaurus, but I couldn't resist getting my hands on the Hydra.

[Yutyrannus]

If you look at the latest Therizinosaurid cladogram, Nanshiungosaurus is more basal form from an earlier time frame than Therizinosaurus and their remains were found over 1700 miles from each other. As for Northronychus, I initially misread your post as all Therizinosaurs were Therizinosaurus. My bad!

Okay.

Oh, that's fine.

[Megalosaurus]

Hello.

I'm excited by the fact Dan is commisioned to do another 6 Terra dinosaurs. I still don't have any battats in my collection.
May someone in USA lend me a hand to grab the first set of 4 at your local Target? Please send me a PM.

What do they cost?

Rounding: $8 in Target Stores,  $15 in DansDinosaurs, and auction starting at $8 on ebay.

Dan's is selling them?

[amanda]

Wouldn't that be the best way to go then? Beats driving around the city looking for them...

[Hynerpeton]

$15 instead of $8? Hmmmm

I will look for em first. Then if i need to, go online.

Yes, almost double. But with the price of gas what it is, driving around looking for them will turn out just as expensive for some of us. Plus, the guarantee of actually finding them as opposed to, you know, not. 15 is about what I figured they would have cost anyway. And for Non-US folks this may be a viable alternative. Certainly Dan has a sterling rep here as opposed to any random e-bay person.....

Dan's thought is to make them available to collectors outside the US & Canada. Do what I did and call the Target stores within driving distance 1st. Target MAY eventually have them on line.

Where a clearance rack in the toy section should be, a found all 4, and plenty of them! My birthday is soon, so I can only hope...

[Concavenator]

Well,I'll actually TRY getting that wonderful Cryolophosaurus...(Fingers crossed)I hope I could get my hands on it...

[tyrantqueen]

Something tells me it will be relatively easy to get a hold of the new Battats in Europe given enough time. Even if they don't get distributed by another company over here, there are plenty of members who would be happy to help out those in need. I remember that Libraraptor helped a lot of people get the Bullyland Protochirotherium.

So, don't fret

Well from what ive seen, they are pretty common.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Dan are you in the know anything about the tubes of dinosaur figures offered on the same shelves with the terra collection?There appear to be tubes of farm animals, dinosaurs and sea animals.....

Done that. I have yet to get hold of anyone who'd have any clue what I am even asking for. My nearest target is 10 miles away and as of yesterday they still had nothing, not even the end cap display up. I have been to 4 Targets in the city, none have this, so it is looking like not everyone will have a shot at getting them. I cannot keep driving 20 miles round trip every couple days, and like I said phoning is a no go so as nice as they are I will have to give up on them.

[docronnie]

Last time I checked, they are not yet available online at Target. What I usually do, when I buy items in the US, is to send them to my aunt from online stores. Then I wait for a relative to come home here in my country.

[Primeval12]

I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BIRTHDAY IS MONDAY SO, MAYBE I CAN BUY MYSELF SOME!

Congratulations Dan!  I'm so happy for you.  I really hope this product line takes off.  I'd love to be collecting new, high quality battat dinos for years to come.

I found all 4 dinos at my local Target.  I have to concur that these figures look even better in person.  I bought the Nanshiungosaurs and Cryolophosaurus for my son.  He's going to love it!  I've been waiting to buy him a 1/40th scale cryolophosaurus for years now and now my prayers have been answered.  His birthday already passed so I'll have to think of some excuse to give it to him.

Unfortunately, I already bought him the Collecta Dacentrurus and Papo Pachyrhinosaurus so I'm having a hard time justifying getting the Battat versions.  Who knows, I may just break down and get them anyway.  But when the Gigantoraptor and Gastonia come out, I'm definitely getting those.

One other cool thing about these toys is the box itself.  On the back, Dan gives information they give about each figure and why certain choices were made in creating them.  I think that's awesome.  My son loves dinosaurs so any time I can integrate learning with dinosaurs is a big plus.
