Speaking of Mastermind, what the spotted heck is up with them not getting the Tupuxuara in yet?!

Weird... canada people are so polite. They apologize for everything they do! They should get things first.

(just a joke i'm kidding ITS JUST A STEREOTYPE I PROMISE)

As a fellow Canadian and all joking aside, I have crossed (well driven across) the border driving from Hamilton to some of the target stores in the Buffalo area to get the papa, battats, and other figures (generally about 1.5 to 2 months after people start to mention them. 

Has worked out rather well for the last two years. I also travel for work to the states so I take advantage when i can.

Cheers & happy collecting

Why is it priced higher on that site than the other large Papos like the rexes and spinosaurus? Is it just because it's new?

[Shadowknight1]

I'm still tryin to figure out why the feathered raptor is $25.

Yes, but this is particularly late. Historically, Mastermind would get one new Papo in the winter and then the other one(s) in the fall. I keep thinking the Baryonyx will show up first. :p

Spielzeug Günstig will sell them for more reasonable prices:

maybe Papo is starting to match Rebor price-wise

[stargatedalek]

Around here the Papo Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus typically go for $40+ so the Baryonyx pricing is hardly a shock.

Kind of off topic for the thread, but since there was some talk about excange rates earlier, I just purchased the Brachiosaurus from Papo on amazon.ca for 29 CA shipped to New Jersey.  That translates to around 20 or so dollars US. I had it shipped to me for this price, how is it that the brachiosaurus sells for 40 plus dollars on Amazon US, but for 20 dollars in canada? I think I'll be purchasing all of my papos like this from now on. I'm hoping some of the new items pop up on there soon.

IIRC, the T. rexes are priced at $29.99 at Mastermind Toys. Makes sense that the Baryonyx would be as well. Hope the FV isn't that pricey though.

Might be because those are EU figures. We in Europe experience a similar mark up in price with US figures.  The Jurassic World Bashers & Biters? 10 Dollars in the US, but 14 Euros here.

I'd do the same but given the low value of our dollar, it's not worth it for me. In any case, I'm in no rush to get them. I can't really take dino toy pics until spring comes anyway.

Prices fluctuate a lot on Amazon. There are many third party sellers selling stuff. I haven't seen Amazon.com proper sell Papo dinosaurs directly in a while... it's all been third party guys for the last year or so. And the prices go up and down on almost a daily basis. I got the Brachiosaurus directly from Amazon about a year ago. I get free Prime shipping, so my total was about $28 US. It seems they've been selling for a good bit more than that lately, though.

Speaking of pricy, was the Ankylosaurus discontinued? They're hovering around $30 on Amazon currently.

This actually makes sense, its been boggling my mind for a few days now.

Urzeitshop has the Baryonyx in as well, and cheaper than previously seen prices http://www.urzeitshop.de/papo/2649-baryonyx-dinosaurier-spielzeug-von-papo-3465000550547.html

They also have some nice pics of the actual model that show it does indeed stand on two feet without balance from the tail, and there is no underbite

Perhaps it's the angles, but the head looks far too big in those photos. The colours are cool though.

The head still looks far too large in the second pic. It's an impressive, scary-looking toy, and I will definitely be buying it, but it's a far cry from the real thing:
