An international buyer asked me to find him a Battat diplodocus...

And I know nothing about these...other than that I think some of these were rereleased recently?  Once I know the answer to that, I'll confirm which he wants.

Then I'd appreciate any info, assistance in obtaining one.

Unfortunately these were not re-released, however prices have gone down since it became a possibility. I don't know if they will now, since any communication with Battat yields an ambiguous reply.

He can find battat diplodocus on ebay, I think there are one or two for sale.
But there is still no news on the terra one.

Check out my new Spinosaurus figure: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=5099.0

Unbelievable. It sold one day after being posted. I'm humbled and...surprised! That price was meant to be a bit of a joke! Oh well, now I can buy all of this year's presents. Tee hee!

Just missed one yesterday :

It sold at a pretty steep price too! If you are lucky, you may get one for much less. I got mine for 120 USD earlier this year. It was also off eBay.

I think it's a safe bet that, unless the new ones are actually released sometime soon, the original MOS figures will again climb to crazy high prices.

Man, I'm regretting the one I recently sold for $175.
I Can't imagine why someone who possess a 'Battat Diplodocus' be interested in selling it ...
As the phrase says : "once you have found him never let him go"... ::)

Well, when you have more than one, it's always fun to turn one dinosaur into several.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I prefer the Carnegie Diplodocus.

Maybe someone who does not know what it is? I found the one or other treasure due to people not realizing what they have. That includes the Invicta Lambeosaurus, painted Mamenchisaurus and two different Kleinwelka Iguanodons.

All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Getting a Terra one would be sweet. All my Battats are the Terra versions.

Now I want to buy it back! I liked having two...

I would be okay with having one. I've seen one "in the flesh", but it belongs to another adult collector.

On the plus side... *adds 15 Safari dinos to cart*, my Carnegie/Safari collection is about to be complete. And I'll still have leftovers, and one Battat Dippy that's NFS/NFT. So did I win?
