I wonder how Battat is doing as of now...
Still holding on hope that they'll release the rest of the repaints and sculpts when JW2 is out.

So does anyone know if the Parasaurolophus is still available at Target or elsewhere? I just went to one today, and they still carried some of the dinosaurs, but I didn't see that one there (I picked up the T. rex). I'm really regretting not picking it up sooner.

amargasaurus cazaui

I am not sure if stores still carry them all or not but I do have at least ten of most of them if you need help

Mamasaurus

It depends on the store.  I visited 3 Targets just a few weeks ago, and two of them had plenty of dinosaurs.  Mostly ceratosaurus and pachyrhinosaurus, with a couple of the stegosaurus, parasaurolophus, and ankylosaur thrown in. The third store only had one carnotaurus and the ceratopsian left.  All the rest of the shelf was crowded with extant animal sets.  I suppose it depends on how much stock they have out back. 

I'm in Texas.  But there may still be some where you live Faelrin, just try as many different stores as you can.  :)

Thank you both. I guess I'll keep checking different stores then. The one I went to yesterday had lots of the Amargasaurus, Stegosaurus, and the Acrocanthosaurus, with a few of the others in stock at the time (the only T. rex there was the one I bought). It's possible another store might carry the Parasaurolophus and other dinosaurs not carried by this one. The worst case scenario will mean I'll just have to buy it online.

Edit: Went to the Target store near my brother's house and they had one for sale there. I'm so finally glad to own this beautiful figure.

To my fellow Canucks around here, more specifically those in the Toronto area (or nearby), I strolled into The Bay located directly next to the Eaton Centre and believe me when I say it has a very healthy selection of Battat figures! I walked out with Euoplocephalus, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, and Ceratosaurus. They have nearly all the figures available that have been released so far, sans T.rex, Nanshiungosaurus, and Cryolophosaurus.

EDIT: T.rex is still available through the online store.

Came across these at Indigo (formerly Chapters), the main bookchain here in Canada. It strikes me as profoundly sad that Battat is shipping these dinosaurs, but still not all the remaining ones by Dan. :(

Wait, thisis seriously what Battat is selling all of a sudden? Don't they feel they have at least some level of quality and dignity to adhere to?

Faelrin

So Battat has resorted to selling chinasaurs now? Darn shame.

Very disappointing.

You'd think they'd want to release those figures to honor him, especially seeing as he was a long time partner of Battat.  :'(

 :'( ah...I follow them on Instagram and they've been posting pictures of their toy animals, which appear to be decidedly poor compared to the likes of Papo and Schleich. I was a bit concerned about what had become of their dinosaur line, but this is a great shame. Poor Dan

To those interested, DeJankins has a small amount of each battat terra model (at slightly marked up prices), including one cryolophosaurus & nanshiungosaurus:

I really don't get it at all. Is there some kind of dispute going on between Battat and Dan's estate? Did the line not sell well enough for Battat to want to continue it? Was there a disagreement with Target? I wish they would just give us a straight answer already instead of being so evasive. If the line is truly over, then that's a real shame, but at least we'd know finally. :(

Halichoeres

They've been selling this set since 2015 when the first wave hit Target stores:

i saw stock of all the current figures at a local Target back in October. 

Pachyrhinosaurus

I stopped by at my local Target and they're back on the shelves!



They had a healthy assortment of dinosaurs, only missing the cryolophosaurus, nanshiungosaurus, and dacentrurus. It's also the first time I've seen the euoplocephalus in situ-- the one pictured now resides in my collection as my boxed copy.

Still no sign of the rest... but it'll be worth the wait when the day comes.

The Tyrannosaurus is having a hard time over there on the bottom right.
