Has anyone discovered where they took this picture? I think Hong Kong had a toy fair this week.

I got the Monolophosaurus and I am disappointed slightly. She won't stand!! But I still love it.

^the new Dino Rivals one? I have the BDs green one and one of its legs is really loose, it wont stand either. I was gonna buy the DR one so I could have one that stands.  :(

I think they mean the green one. I have both, and from what I've in mine and others , the legs are extremely loose. The Dino Rivals figure, mine at least, is very tight, like really tight.

weird...why do all these monolopho figures have loose joints?  Dont know if I should bother buying a replacement BD if it might be loose too. Too bad b/c its one of the nicest sculpts of the smaller figures. I also got the dracorex(another great sculpt) and its has nice tight joints.

The Dracorex also has swivel thighs, the monolophosaurus has those weird ball-joint style hips.

I should have been more clear. It's feet don't align properly. I have to position one of its legs backwards and make it look like its in aa running position.

...So, for whatever reason, the Spinosaurus went on sale yesterday for $19.99 and is still marked as such on the Target website. I assume it must have briefly come back in stock, but it still feels like salt in the wound.  :-\

I had no idea they were still stocking it at this point. The price drop would be because of that 20% sale on all Jurassic World toys this week at Target though.

For the Canadian memebers, the new Mega dual Attack dinos are at ToysRus now.  They also have the first wave of the deluxe destruct-a-saurus.  I picked up the Pteranodon and the Suchomimus.  I found the Sucho's action features not as fluent as the originals, this one seems a bit gimpy.  They have the Stego, but I passed on that one since I picked up 2 during the holiday season for 15.ea


Toasaurus

Yeah the mega dual attack figure have been out toys r us canada since december but i was shocked when i found the destruct a saurs pack in toys r us i already picked up the velicoraptor pack

Mattel greatly underestimated the value and demand for the Spinosaurus. It makes me wonder if they 'get' the Jurassic Park Universe at all.

i don't blame Mattel, they made a plan to get them out in stores in the UK and US, the US deal fell apart on Target's end.  To be honest Mattel had a heck of year with the line overall what with TRU going under and they had to scramble with finding new places to carry the inventory. It's just business I guess.  The only complaint I have with Mattel is they should sell all of their items in an online store again.

It's too bad, especially Target failed at breaking in to the Canadian market.  I'm sure many Canadians have to pony up inflated prices on the secondary market.

Yes, just like us in the US did for the Destructasaurs and the Lockwood set.  You get some you pay for others, it sorta equals out.  My real sympathy is with those the line barely or didn't reach at all. I've been helping with that where I could.

Hey, could be worse guys.  Walmart is probably good at stocking a lot of this stuff...everywhere but MY Walmart.  "Best toy store" my rear end...
I'm excited for REBOR's Acro!  Can't ya tell?
