I recently found the site www.posterplanet.net and was wondering if anybody has ordered from them and could comment on their reliability (or lack thereof). They have a nice selection of Star Wars posters, but their site does not look particularly professional, which makes me hesitate to order from them. Their Star Wars page is here. Thanks to anybody that can provide any information.

I've never ordered from them. If I was after posters I would probably check on
allposters first.

Thanks for the reply. I've used Allposters many times in the past and have been quite satisfied, but this new site I mentioned has a few items on it that I'm interested in that I haven't found elsewhere. Specifically Star Wars-wise, I'm referring to the full size horizontal version of the Episode I teaser. Would you (or anybody else) happen to know of a reputable site to obtain that from? I don't care if it's a reprint, or original, or whatever. I don't like to use ebay, though - I prefer to deal with online "stores" rather than individuals.

Does anyone know a store that has rare items? Or a place to look if you can't find it on eBay?

I have always found that Brian's Toys seems to have items that other sites don't. Be aware that their prices can be high though. However, I have never had problems with their service.

Just to make sure, all of the sites listed have been verified right? I want to place an order with theearthtoymall.com, but I'm always weary about ordering from new sites. Just want to confirm that no one here has had any problems with them up to this point.

I have never ordered from them. However all of the sites on the list were either recommended by posters here or put on the list by me after using them successfully.

Add on another confirmation for theearthtoymall.com. I received my order less than a week after the purchase date and everything was in prime condition. Excellent.

I noticed these 3 links, Toyrocket.com, ToyWiz.com, and SWfigures.com, aren't on the list yet, all of those are pretty decent. I've ordered from all 3 without incident. Though as with any online retailer expect a fairly decent markup in price, though the sites I just listed may appear pricey, the items I was looking for and bought were a real decent buy. I'd classify those sites as "depends on what you're looking for" and "how desperate are you?".

I have a recommendation for the list and a question.
The recommendation: www.superherotoys.com. I should provide a word of warning that some of their prices are a bit on the high side, in my opinion, but the particular item I ordered was not pricey and the shipment and delivery were incredibly fast.
The question: does anyone know of a decent online source (besides ebay) for buying modern Star Wars line 3.75" figure accessories? I've done some searching and will do more, but the only site I've located so far that sells accessories at all only has vintage ones. Thanks for any help.

I know Brians Toys does replica weapons, etc, but I don't know if they do them for modern figures. They are in the list under US - can't hurt to look!
Edit - added Superhero Toys to the list.
BKK - I missed adding your sites in. I will try to get to them tomorrow. When you posted them I had a friend visiting me and my online time was reduced.

I'm just adding another endorsement for The Earth Collectible Toy Mall (www.theearthtoymall.com). I placed an order with them on Tuesday and it arrived Friday. Spectacular.
