| The Museum of Science in Boston dinosaur series from Battat has been reissued as the Terra series.Included in the release are repaints of at least some of the originals and 6 new models for the series.They are going to be showing up in Target stores any day now (some have already started showing up on shelves in some Target stores). The new models so far are Cryolophosaurus,Dacentrurus,Gastonia,Gigantoraptor,Nanshiungosaurus,& Pachyrhinosaurus sculpted by Dan LoRusso,who did half of the original Museum of Science,Boston line. Here is a link to the new additions from the sculptor's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.351765294974477.1073741840.166381366846205&type=1 _________________ John

| My world! That Gigantoraptor! That Pachy! Now to figure out a way to procure them.. no Target on this continent that I know of. Perhaps there'll be a helpful soul here on the forum? I suspect other Europeans will have an interest in these as well..

| Ok, Some of you Dino collectors may have heard of Battat, Well there making new dinosaurs, and bringing back the old ones that were retired over 20 years ago. These are some of the originals, and they are slated to be re-released in brand new color schemes But in addition to those, there are going to be new species, and fours of these are available now at Target Store in the USA. (Pachyrhinosaurus, Crylophosaurus, Decentrurus, and Nanshiugosaurus and there is going to be two more for later in the year (Gastonia and Gigantoraptor) Here's the only one I have right now, the Pachyrhinosaurus |

Yes this IS exiting news.With not only Safari Ltd's Carnegie Collection still going strong,we have regular new Kaiyodo miniature prehistoric sets AND the return of Battat's line with new additions.That's 3 out of four of my favorite lines being active now (imagine if Invicta's line were to resurface with new additions like Battat's just did?) _________________ John

| Wow! I'm not into dinosaurs as much as others on the forum, but these have looked interesting since some other members have posted photos of theirs but the price of them on eBay was outrageous! What section of the store would they be in? Hopefully they'll be in the display boxes that's picture on Facebook and not on shelving similar to Schleich, Safari Ltd., Papo etc. so it'll reduce scratches/scuffs. |

Yes,$8.00 does seem a lot more appealing than $80.00. When they get there (some Target stores have them already,others haven't yet) they will be in the toy section where they once had the Schleich animals,dinosaurs and fantasy figures.It seems as though they have replaced Schleich with Battat there now. And yes,they will be boxed. _________________ John

And yes,they will be boxed. Some sellers are asking for more than $80! But I agree $8 is more appealing. I figured they would be in the toy section, but I asked just to be sure. I haven't been in that section since they stopped selling Schleich. I see a few sea animals in the picture and I'm guessing they would be solid like the other brands and not hollow Also, $5 for the animals doesn't seem too bad either. |

Do you do what brand the wildlife figures are? I see elephants, rhino, lion etc. Are they just rebranded china figures? I don't think Battat did any wildlife figures. thanks |

| I have no information on the Animal Figures. I don't know if there original sculpts for the line, or something new.
I hope to Get to a Target that sells them today(my local one does not have them yet) I might take some photos.
