Re: Good online retailers
I only order from TFSource and A3U.
TFSource is imo amazing, with their prompt service, out of this world packaging, and (VERY IMPORTANTLY) their ways of filling out the customs forms so that the Cdn receiver never gets hit with charges.
A3U is generally good too, great communication, good packaging, the only thing with them is for new import releases they often get them a month or more after everyone else (I've heard they get their stuff shipped by boat and this is why?).
Both have only provided me good things though and I'd recommend them.

Re: Good online retailers
I've used BBTS and A3U. Both are very good. A3U gets the edge though for their low prices and in country shipping (no customs charges).

Sea mail is very economical, and hence keeps the prices low. Unfortunately, most retailers I know in Asia simply stopped this method due to how rough they handle their shipments (an issue especially with MISBers). I'm guessing Spencer really makes sures his suppliers pack the stuff well to prevent it from being damaged then.

Re: Good online retailers
I have ordered from:
Kooltoyz (Classics Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Rodimus) - Packing was good
- Shipment arrived in less than one week
- Prices are a little higher than at other places
Digital Toys (Binaltech Swindle, Classics Ramjet and Cliffjumper) - Packing was good
- Shipment arrived in 3 weeks
- Prices were very good for Swindle, average for the Classics
- No shipping notification
Robot Kingdom (Masterpiece Megatron - no plug) - Packing was good
- Shipment took 3 weeks to ship, but arrived in 3 days after it actually shipped
- Prices are very good, but shipping is very expensive!
I had no problems at all with all three companies. I'd recommend Kool Toyz over Digital Toys since there really isn't much difference in pricing and Kool Toyz gets me my stuff faster. ;-) I'd recommend Robot Kingdom only for big orders; while the prices are good, the shipping costs negate your savings for small orders.

Re: Good online retailers
I've used A3U, Kooltoyz, TFSource, BBTS, and GoldenAgeToys.com without an issue. I try to keep it Canadian as much as possible though.

Re: Good online retailers
Price isn't always everything. I try to be loyal locally and to the Canadian dealers. Kooltoyz is great inside Canada, and I hit up BBTS a couple times but I don't really like the vibe I get from them.
