Re-issue of Battat former Museum of Science Boston Series

[microraptorgui]

Like others on this thread, I've been concerned that the Battat figures at several local Targets here in the Bay Area are not being restocked. At one point they all became discounted, and I was wondering if they were just selling whatever they had left in stock and discontinuing the whole thing. But I few days ago I was pleasantly surprised to see a brand new figure at a Target I had checked repeatedly in the last few months: a Nanshiungosaurus, the very one I had been searching for. So, like Victoria B, I'm confident that they have begun restocking these, which makes me more hopeful that I'll finally get my Battat Diplodocus someday.

Nanshiungosaurus was in the first wave though, so your concern might still be valid. They probably just had extra stock in the back and were waiting for the stuff on the shelf to clear before they put it out.

I've noticed that Targets in the south Seattle area have been well-stocked with Battat's dinosaurs lately, and I have seen the Nanshiungosaurus in at least one location. This is after not having seen the Nanshiungosaurus at a Target for a year or more by now. I doubt they are simply old stock.

Do the nanshiungosaurus have bilingual packaging? I trust that you're right but the packages were changed after a while so if it's only English we can say for sure that it is old stock... but hopefully it isn't.

Unfortunately I did not take note of the packaging, but I'll keep that in mind.

What about the Cryolophosaurus? Is that one still shipping as well?

Agreed. It's reasonable to assume at this point that it was reissued.

I don't know. It had been months and months since they had anything new, and at one point there were just a handful of Terra dinosaurs left. This included the pre- and post-Christmas periods.  Then, suddenly, they had the shelf filled up with models again.

Yup. So that's three of us that have noticed apparently new Nanshiungosaurus models.

Hmm. I didn't notice any other languages on the packaging. Can't recheck now, though; it's long gone.

I haven't seen that one in a while.

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

I've seen the Nanshiungosaurus again in the last week here in the DFW area of Texas. Wish they would start releasing the rest of the line!

[Shonisaurus]

Battat's cryolophosaurus and nanshiungosaurus can be found in the www.everythingdinosaur.co.uk store. They are available alongside the rest of Battat figures. I pass the link:

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I was just in Target and picked up an extra nanshiungosaurus. The packaging is in English only so unfortunately that leads me to believe they were old stock in a warehouse or something and shipped in more recently.

[DakotaDinos]

I have just completed a series of video reviews of 6 of the Dinosaurs in this line. These figures are great! Check them out here:

I stopped by the Target by my university the other day, and picked a Cryolophosaurus. The Battat dinosaurs were well stocked, more so than when I had visited a week or so ago; so, maybe some shipments containing the Cryolophosaurus are still hitting stores.

I recently Contacted the Terra universe website, and asked them if we will EVER see the remaining sculpts released for the line.

They said

Hello,

Thank you for your email.  We always appreciate when our customers take the time to write us and give us their feedback and use this information to help us improve our products and service.

The Terra line is an ongoing brand that we do not unfortunately have any updates on for the moment. The passing of Dan LoRusso was sad news to us all, and we hope to be able to bring his final molds to the line in the future.

Thank you.

So at least there is Hope?

[Lanthanotus]

I am in damn need of the Ouranosaurus, Maiasaurus and if all comes together, the Diplodocus,... so, yes, I vote for "Hope"

[Daspletotyrannus]

Sad it just the same email they send to everyone.  They did change it up awhile ago. I still have hope, but it is starting to go away the longer it takes.  If they did care they would have already released them.

[ZoPteryx]

Maybe they're just waiting for the holidays to make a move.  If memory serves, Battat has never really had a definite schedule like most other companies.
