So these were the first wave of Jurassic Clash/Battle toys. There are some sets from last year still in Smyths and other shops where I am but we are waiting for a second wave of product. No where got all the sets in the first wave.  Jurassic Clash is now part of the new Corps Time Crisis and they have dropped hints there will be more dinosaur sets but we haven't seen anything yet. 

Like the new curse logo!

I sent an e-mail to XTREM Toys & Sports a few days ago. With two questions "Where to buy the Jurassic Battle products?" and "In what economic relationship is XTREM Toys & Sports to Lanard Toys?"

I received the following answer:

Dear xxxx,

Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in our assortment "Jurassic Battle"! We will gladly try to answer your questions:

Our brochure to the assortment shows all sets, which we originally offered to the trade, but is unfortunately no guarantee that our customers ultimately order the complete assortment. We are also pleased that you have found a new assortment at Libro! Unfortunately, however, we can not name any companies that run our full range of Jurassic Battle. In Germany, the companies Handelshof and Globus have purchased parts from the product range in recent weeks. However, since we deliver only to their central warehouse, we can not say in which stores our items are ultimately sold - sorry!

Our company XTREM Toys & Sports operates no factories itself, but imports goods from reputable manufacturers from all over the world (the company Lanard is of course well known to us!), Which we assemble into assortments and sell as XTREM own brands, to our retail customers rounded assortments with to offer attractive, uniform appearance. A similarity of the Jurassic article is therefore inevitable ... Well watched!

To our regret, we can not give any further support for the purchase of Jurassic Battle articles in Austria.

Sehr geehrter xxxx,

vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage und Ihr Interesse an unserem Sortiment „Jurassic Battle“! Gerne versuchen wir, Ihre Fragen zu beantworten:

Unser Prospekt zum Sortiment zeigt alle Sets, die wir dem Handel ursprünglich angeboten haben, ist aber leider keine Garantie dafür, daß unsere Kunden letztendlich das komplette Sortiment ordern. Wir freuen uns auch, daß Sie bei Libro einen neuen Sortimentsbestandteil gefunden haben! Leider jedoch können wir keine Unternehmen nennen, welches unser komplettes Sortiment „Jurassic Battle“ führen. In Deutschland haben die Unternehmen Handelshof und Globus in den letzten Wochen Teile aus dem Sortiment bezogen. Da wir jedoch nur an deren Zentrallager liefern, können wir nicht sagen, in welchen Filialen unsere Artikel letztendlich verkauft werden - sorry!

Unser Unternehmen XTREM Toys & Sports betreibt selbst keine Fabriken, sondern importiert Waren von namhaften Herstellern aus aller Welt (das Unternehmen Lanard ist uns natürlich gut bekannt!), die wir zu Sortimenten zusammenfügen und als XTREM-Eigenmarken vertreiben, um unseren Handelskunden abgerundete Sortimente mit ansprechendem, einheitlichem Erscheinungsbild anbieten zu können. Eine Ähnlichkeit der Jurassic-Artikel ist also unvermeidlich ... Gut beobachtet!

Zu unserem Bedauern können wir keine weitere Hilfestellung für den Bezug von „Jurassic Battle“-Artikeln in Österreich geben.

They may just be a buyer in much the way Smythes and Walmart are buyers. That's an International Lanard Inquiry.

It is interesting that they are still shipping that range. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for sharing that note from XTREM!  That's a cool look behind the scenes at how they operate.

Smyths put a listing for a Primal Clash "Big Boss Gorilla". It looks to be about the size of the Skull Island Kong (Massive for the scale) but with better articulation. It looks great, a pretty nice addition to the Lanard Monster Collection!

There is no indication when it will be in stores. 

Contents: A Primal Clash Big Boss Gorilla

A 43cm giant poseable mega monster

16 points of articulation

Dimensions: 33 L x 12.7 W x 43.2 H cm

Super advanced technology let humanity bring back and live among dinosaurs and megafauna. With dino-control technology, machines, beasts and humans working together were able to bring pollution down to almost zero, oxygen levels raised, flora and fauna grew in size and finally a peaceful and self-sustained world was achieved. All thanks to the supercomputer known as the evolution, the very apex of human technological achievements, until the singularity, also known as the cybergeddon happened.



The sentient evolution decimated humanity and enslaved all remaining living creatures, telepathically controlling dinosaurs and humans alike creating the final impact, a military unit specialized in hunting down humans and feral dinosaurs for total world domination! A small group of raiders escaped, living on the run in a new world between feral prehistoric wilderness and technological doom! But the surviving humans are strong, and their willpower is iron. Alongside their tamed dinosaur companions and incredible technology, they will retaliate and launch the ultimate primal clash!

Domestic Release is set for Spring.  International could be a bit sooner, (Beginning around March) *due to shipping it could be a bit longer for domestic. I will keep everyone updated.

The Gorilla just arrived in Smyths. Here's a side by side with 'Giant' Kong. Only one winner here folks!
