Is Dinostoreus still in business?

[ruochuan]

Hi, just wondering if Dinostoreus is still operating? Their website seems a bit old and I haven't found any new discussion or news...

DinostoreUs has never been "dynamic" during last three years but it's still in business (from what I know).
I've been checking the website frequently and some out-of-stock models are back again now (or "coming soon").
My last acquisition from DinostoreUs was in April (via Ebay' page).

Great! Thanks. I want to order their Hunting Spinosaurus... it looks beautiful from all the pictures & reviews I have seen.

Their Saichania skeleton model is so cool.

There she is! Absolutely fabulous model.
Dynamic posing, eating fish as a good Spinosaurus should, creative use of semi-clear resin as water, crisp detail through out. Definitely my best dinosaur model to date.

Dinostoreus is definitely in business, in fact they are quite busy. They were getting a new batch of inventory in that why it took a little long in getting back to me. But it is definitely worth the wait!

(..just a note: this model is sold by DinostoreUs now but it was made by Favorite Ltd Japan  //  Favorite retired line: http://www.e-favorite.net/products/discontinued_items/dinosaur/ )

Thanks, Robin, for the info. I didn't know that, now I have to check out their other models. Favorite makes beautiful models it seems, too bad they are harder to find here in the U.S.

BTW, I first saw this Spinosaurus on your Flickr collection page, and fell in love with it right away.

..It's sad but most of the Favorite Desktop line models were discontinued. 
DinostoreUs is one of the few stores that still sells some of them. 

Only 5 Favorite Desktop models are still in production:

5 from Michael Trcic collection:

..and only 2 from the "Scene Model" line:

(+ skeletons, but I'm not so interested in those..)

So, if you're interested in Favorite Desktop, the best thing to do is buying the ones still available from DinostoreUs and/or some other (few) stores that have them available..
