So first this happened:
This was news to me and everyone else, so I decided to swing by TRU today and prod their item system and upcoming planograms.. Jurassic Park Dino battler 297221 $7.99 Jurassic Park Dino tracker 272188 $10.99 Jurassic Park Dino Growler 295277 $19.99 Jurassic Park Battle pack 295334 $29.99 (They didn't show up searching "Jurassic Park" but rather only "Jurassic". The item numbers work fine though.) These items are different from the 2009 line, listed as active and have orders pending. On top of that, they are in the upcoming March 10th planogram/floorplan. Now I wont lie, the first 3 sound exactly like JP 2009 toys, but the "Battle Pack" is a new Sku and pricepoint.. So, what are the odds? Anybody hear anything interesting? As of now these are not on Toysrus.com or Hasbro.com and no details or pictures exist. Last edited by DemonCarnotaur; 02-10-2013 at 09:25 PM.. |

Just wanted to update.. Hasbro has confirmed the line, but hasn't provided any specifics other than its hitting in March. They said more details should be available this week, so maybe we will find out whether any of the canceled items will make it.
Hasbro did say the "Battle Packs" are called "Dino Showdowns", which definitely is a new sku from the 2009 line..whether it has anything new remains up in the air. |

I would love to get one of those Archer figures.
Maybe this is why so many new unproduced figures are showing up on ebay. Maybe the Chinese sellers are trying to pull one over by hocking upcoming product as old. |

I have no hope for JP Joes. It would be something good and Hasbro can't let that happen. ;)

It would be weird though, if they release the highly detailed and articulated Joes with the crappy JP3 humans in the same line. Still, there is at least one new SKU, so anything is possible.\ --- On another note, does anyone have any idea how to get more info on the toys? |

Thats possible, or hell, its possible they don't even realize that they are new.

Maybe they'll vamp up the JP humans using Joe Molds. |

Yeah, I do hope they are keeping the same terminology on the toys for simplicities sake but releasing something new.. but the fact that the 'growlers' will be electronic really makes me think these will be JP3 repaints. And the $8 'battlers' are for sure gonna be two over priced hatchlings.

At the very least, Hasbro is talking about JP.. I just hope the info hits sooner rather than later. Last edited by DemonCarnotaur; 02-12-2013 at 06:20 PM.. |

I'm excited, but the idea of paying $10.99 for the same 5poa pos from JP2k9 upsets me. Hears hoping these are 2k11 molds instead.
