I've heard that Japan have toy shops that are jam packed with dinosaur toy models ^-^,
like this one:

Looks more like only that shelf is jampacked with Dinosaurs...
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I could only wish for just a single shop with a shelf like that here in The Netherlands... Papo is nowhere to be found here, let alone other brands...

We used to have a store in Hong Kong who sold various models. There was also a shelf that was twice as tall and twice as wide as the one pictured, and it was stuffed with CollectA dinosaurs ;D! Sadly the rent was too high and they moved away... Now I'm stuck with Schleich and Geoworld, Papo rip-offs as well...  :'( :'( :'(

That's kinda what my house looks like. :)

It's a well stocked shelf, but considering it's a Japanese store, I'm spotting remarkably few Japanese brands there. Mostly Papo, Safari, Schleich and Collecta. None of these bards are hard to get via the Internet. In stores, well, not so easy, but I know a store or two (in the Netherlands) that do stock most of these.

Indeed a nice assortment for a non-internet shop, they also offer comparably many retired figures and not just retired recently ones, I spot figures retired for years and even decades (Carnegie Pteranodon). Even here in Germany it's hard to find a shop that offers Bullyland dinosaurs let alone Papo, most shops just offer Schleich's. Bless the time of the internet :D

Does anyone know where to find Favourite.co's retired Dinosaur Soft Model Set B? With the paint variant deinonychus? ;D
