How do you buy from famemaster.com? I went to there diorama selections, chose one I liked, and looked for an "add to cart" option, but......ugh. Any help is appreciated

You don't buy from them at all. Famemaster.com is a company website, not a sales site. You need to be a business and then you need to go through the correct distributor for your area.
And not all of their goods are available everywhere.

You can search online, some stores sell them...my local shop had a couple waves of the dino-egg puzzles...ebay is a good place to look as well. I found the pirate sets at a themed mini-golf in Myrtle Beach last year...I think tgftoys.com also has some of the dioramas by them...maybe they can order what you want if they don't carry it. I've been tryingto find a dealer that carries the Dragons but no luck yet... :/

You can order from them directly -- just send them an email and a customer support person will work things out. I ordered a bunch of beetles and other arthropods from them earlier this year. Do make sure they go over the shipping options, though, as some are really pricey compared to others.

How many did you order from them? I have been in touch with them, and they have some pretty punishing minimums (6000 units and $20000 in merchandise, or they hit you with penalties).
Unless they were willing to find another way--I am in the middle; I need a moderate quantity to sell, but there's no way I can order in distributor amounts.

$20000? That's their minimum money amount (suffice to say, a little bit too much of my annual gift store budget, unless we want to become North America's premier 4D puzzle store!)--I am guessing it's meant to encourage distributors, as opposed to individual purchasers or ebay sellers. Of course, in a world where nobody is selling their product (I have one more lead) you;d think they'd be better off selling something.

This probably explains why I can't find the plesiosaur anywhere. Except for Ebay, but when I asked how much shipping costs to the UK the seller responded with: "I love you Australians! You people are great customers" which did not fill me with confidence... ;D

sbell -- did you contact them as a distributor? I just contacted them as a dude who wanted to buy a few figures.

It would seem they're not quite living up to their name. The puzzle aspect seems a bit of a gimmick, but some of them look pretty good. I love this ironic little diorama:

That's from here... they call it "Hungry Raptor". My alternate title would be something like "Dromeosaurs : Fantasy and Reality" .
