Battat, Terra series - New for 2014

[alexeratops]

And the Battat figures, both old and new, have a very satisfying sort of heft to them. They feel...good.

So true. Wild Safari is like that sometimes too.

   I've taken the figures out of the box, but I'm keeping the boxes.

[Megalosaurus]

If there were a Target store in my Country, then I surely buy 3 of each; But there isn't. For now it is impossibru  .
Shipping 12 boxes either together or appart will be SO expensive for international collectors.

Dan's work is simply stunning.I may not like the Nanshiungosaurus,but it is very cruel to see that particular piece has got much,much more criticism than,for example,the upcoming Mojö dinosaurs...
I'm with you,Dan is one of the best paleosculptors ever,so we have to treat him goodly.I hope he still is interested in our suggestions.

I checked again at our local Target, this time I got costumer service to run the product numbers and I might as well have been asking for moon rock. There was nothing in the system so it seems we are out of luck in Canada. Too bad Target doesn't sell them online so we wouldn't have to pay the inflated prices I am seeing elsewhere. I may just stick with my original MOS set.

Canada isn't bad though for shipping. Though even if one of us were to buy them for you, shipping could add nearly double the price. I hope a fair solution presents itself.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I was going to say the same..I'm sure we could assist you but not sure on shipping.

Unsure how the shpping plays out but I could help get you a set if needed Doug.

[Doug Watson]

Thanks you guys, that is nice of you to offer but it burns my butt to have to pay the extra for the shipping. Especially since Battat is a Canadian company! I may wait for one of my vacations in the US of A and grab them then or I could hit my brother up for them in Ohio. Thanks again for the offer that is very generous of you all.

We (well most of us) look after our own. And most of us are not looking for profit to get these to other members, I don't think.

I know I'm shocked that Target Canada is once again demonstrating it's pointlessness. I have a friend sending me the one I want, but eventually I will make my way south to see what I can find as well.

I didn't intend to suggest that any of you would charge me "extra" for shipping I meant it bugs me to pay "any" shipping when my US neighbours can just drive to their local Target and pay the regular retail price. If I did take anyone up on their kind offer I would expect to cover all costs they take on. As it is I will probably wait for my next trip south and if they are all gone by then I won't lose any sleep over it.

Doug, I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood my intent. I meant to be friendly and supportive....

[DinoLord]

Shipping these internationally can get tricky due to the size and relative weight of the boxes. It would probably be pretty cheap to ship these without the boxes.

[Doug Watson]

Doug, I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood my intent. I meant to be friendly and supportive....

No problem, I was unsure and wanted to make sure my meaning wasn't taken the wrong way. I have seen several examples here in the forum where members have helped other members acquire hard to get items.

[JakobVicent]

Has anyone found the two other figures at their target?

[amanda]

No, not yet, although they have had none of the first 4 in stock for a couple days. I am hoping when the new shipment comes in the other 2 will be there. I am surprised Target in Canada does not have them. If it is a Target exclusive why don't they all sell them? Is this going to be a U,S, only set? That is gonna rankle all our international members.

[Hynerpeton]

I have not been to a target to find any.

[DinoLord]

Has anyone found the two other figures at their target?

I checked a few days ago and found nothing. I'll be back again next week or so. I wonder how they'll arrange their displays, as the Terra endcaps are already pretty crowded. I'd recommend getting the ones you like out of the current 4 now in case they get pushed out by newer releases in the future.

[JakobVicent]

came back from target and nothing. Why isn't the target in Canada carrying the battats?
