I'm glad to be of help. Having spent so long missing out on the original release, you bet I'm going to broadcast for this one! I'm almost tempted to buy a second one myself. :laugh:

Well, in that case... ;D



Been wanting to pick these up. Seemed like a good opportunity!

That's the way to do it! I did something similar a couple of months back.

You can also get the deal, then return what items you don't want for a refund to your local Target, minus the free one of course.  I've done this before also to get free shipping when I just wanted one item.   There is a catch about quantity though, you can't order say 2 or 3 of the same item.

Semi-related, but I just ordered another Epic Roarin' T. rex from TRU so that I could get free shipping for a Transformers Kingom Rhinox that was on sale. Gonna return it to the store when I have the time.

The Kentrosaurus and Pentaceratops are now on Target too, and part of the buy 2 get 1 deal. Just ordered mine.  ^-^

Eocarcharia

Speaking of Pentaceratops, I just found one in store today at Target, all alone in a sea of T. exes and Indominuses. One thing that surprised me about it is the entire head is made of a soft, rubbery plastic. Makes it feel kinda weird to touch.

I saw that it was very flexible. Hopefully it's something durable.

I forgot to share earlier that the Micro Collection Stegosaurus now has its own single pack release that's been getting spotted at Dollar Tree stores (like with the others). I need to add that to the op as well. I'm hoping to hunt it down sometime this week.

Wow yeah, was at Target earlier and was surprised by a sea of Pentaceratops and Kentrosaurus in the seasonal toy section. Cool!

I plucked a Pentaceratops. Might wait for a sale on Kentrosaurus as there were probably 25+ of them on the shelf.

Also saw the green Ceratosaurus and the blue Charcar.

avatar_ItsTwentyBelow @ItsTwentyBelow Lucky you. I checked my local Target out of curiosity the other day, and it was picked pretty clean. Just some Amber Collection Hammond figures, the chomper Carnotaurus Toro toys, one Indominus rex, and one Tyrannosaurus Escape set.
Edit: Maybe I didn't check the right area then, hmm. Just the usual JW section.

Yup, I'd been to my store a couple times the past couple weeks and just passed by the regular toy aisle, where I had seen the blue Carcharodontosaurus on an end cap so I knew something was up. Find the seasonal section in your store, that's where the bounty was to be had. Couple aisles of just toys there right now.

I've been debating myself whether using a forwarding service to buy the Apatosaurus from the UK or wait to see if Mattel releases a non legacy variant in a couple of months like they did with the Brachiosaurus.

Two years ago I really wanted the Brachiosaurus so I "tricked" my parents into buying one from Ebay for Christmas, then in March/April the non-legacy variant was released in my country, but getting the Brachiosaurus had to be something special so...

I can´t do that again with the Apatosaurus, so it´s either taking action now or play the waiting game without having a guarantee. :P

avatar_MLMjp @MLMjp Would getting it from someone in Germany be cheaper from you? I thought they had Smyths there anyways, which is what carries it in the UK.

I saw the single carded baby Brachiosaurus at one Fred Meyer in early November and picked one up. Haven't seen them anywhere else including at other Fred Meyer locations.
