Well, so far all of the places that have been mentioned are very reputable and great e-tailers.
Most recently I tried Good Stuff to Go. They are excellent source, prices are right on MSRP, they are fast, and they are friendly. Here is a little review/story that I posted in another thread early this week with a follow up at the end (including my actual shipping charges).....
....I cannot sing the praises of GOOD STUFF TO GO (henceforth referred to as gstg) anymore than right now!
I spoke with one of the owners this morning, she was very nice (the wife of the huband/wife team that is), and very helpful. In fact while we chatted about Xevoz, ya' know the community, pre-sales (gstg does not generally pre-sell Xevoz because of the crazy case ratios....hmmmm...have we not all seen this coming), generally all things Xevoz....she was very interested in learning more about the whole Xevoz revolution since this is the most "unique" line that gstg has ever carried....
...Anyway, she pulled up my order that I had placed last night shortly before 11:00pm (2 sets of CK vs. PC), and began processing it, not at all by my request, and I would certainly hope not out of preefferential treatment, just out of being very nice.
Shortly thereafter (while I was at my desk, in my office) I recieved a confirmation e-mail for my order stating that it was being processed. As of a few minutes ago, I recieved a confirmation e-mail from Fed-Ex, stating that the package had shipped and would be in my hands by Thursday afternoon.
HOO-FREAKIN'-RAY for me! No seriously
I have now snagged up 2 of each of wave 3 deluxes and basics in less than a weeks time.
My point being GOOD STUFF TO GO is a really friendly dealer, and appears to be...uhhh EXTREMELY fast (less than 3 days turnaround if Fed-ex does well) to...uhhh...deal with.
Not trying to slight Imagination Station in the least, James is an exceptional person when it comes to customer service from what I have read, just trying to give a huge thank you to GOOD STUFF TO GO for being so wonderful to me.
Disclaimer: ShaneReinecke is no way professioanlly or personally affiliated with or related to anyone from or working for the aforementioned GOOD STUFF TO GO. The above statements of said actions and discussions reflect one persons experience with gstg and the results should not be expected to be achieved to this extent in every situation with every customer, but are a testament to the excellent customer service provided by said vendor to said customer....
...ahhh, that should do it ...
In the end I paid $8.00 S/H for them to ship Fed-Ex ground from Kansas to Southern Michigan, and I recieved my package as of yesterday evening. After some quick math, one can quickly see that this deal was well worth it, being that I only actually paid $6 more for the two sets than I would have at local retail, and I could have VERY easily spent twice that just in the span of a week hunting for these things at retail. So, that about wraps it up, I am now (more or less) an exclusively on-line shopper as far as Xevoz go.

Just to add to what Shane and shieldbreaker have said, Good Stuff to Go is definitely a good place to deal with. I've ordered from them a few times, and the orders have always been processed quickly and shipped promptly (received within 3 days usually). The first time I ordered from them, back in December of last year, the shipment actually came in 2 days. It was incredible. Definitely a good online dealer to go with.

[glow=black,2,300]I have ordered Xevox from a bunch of places online including D&S Toys, Dreamjoey, Imagination Station, and Enertainment Earth. The only places I have yet to order from are Good Stuff To Go and Big Bad Toy Store.
D&S Toys has the lowest prices ($7 per most figs, $8 on the short packed), and pretty fast (and decent priced) shipping and customer service. They get their figures in a little later then the others (like a week or two tops), but are all around pretty good. With Dreamjoey it depends on pricing. Some figures he has really cheap, some he doesn't (as much as 10 bucks for the new boosters, not deluxe which are $13..). His shipping is pretty high, and last time I tried buying something he made a mistake and did not have the product. He refunded me completly, but all the same it was a bit of a hassle. Imagination has great customer service and pretty good shipping too. Their prices are pretty reasonable at $8.50 per basic, but their 2-packs are kinda steep at $19. They don't have a website atm so all orders must be phoned in, but they do get new figures in pretty quick. Out of all of the places I have ordered from Entertainment Earth is probably the worst. While not particularly bad in any category, they arn't great either. Their price per figure is high ( $9 ) and their shipping is pretty high as well. They ship the products out in a relatively timely manner and have a lot of the older figures for order if not already in.
I have not ordered from GSTG or BBTS like I have said, but this is what I have herd and seen about them. GSTG is probably the second cheapest after D&S (at $8 for most and 9 for some rareer figures and 15 for the 2-packs). They get their new figures in fast and the shipping is really fast too, I have heard. BBTS has the cheapest shipping at $4.99. Their figures are priced at $8-9, but they sell out pretty fast and as such don't have much of a selection of new or older figures.
This is just my experience with each store and I am sure it varies. While most are similair in prices and delivery time, some are slightly cheaper and faster then others.[/glow]

I ordered Sheild Breaker, Quick Slinger, Katana/Crawler at BBTS yesterday.
I also pre-ordered Thunder Shaman and Hyper Guardian from EE. I kno EE is pretty steep, but i ordered those 2 b/c HG is short packed and i want to get him ASAP. I ordered Shaman b.c he's really cool to me (love the fingers)

Amazon is pretty good. They don't have any wave 3 in yet  but their prices aren't way too bad and shipping is amazingly fast. I got a confirmation email last tuesday for something I'd ordered, and my item came in later that night! |

I recently placed an Order for Crypt Curse and Cryo-Katana vs. Preda-Crawler at goodstufftogo.net, but their check-out process is a bit confusing. I wasn't issued an invoice, or received any mail that my order was received. Just a thank you page that quickly redirected me back to the home page. Given the great reviews I've seen (whew... since I placed the order before I'd read anything), it would seem that I've nothing to fear. I just wish they'd give more assurance that my order went through.

Thanks, Secter. I'm just a little more apprehensive since I live halfway across the Globe. If I could drive 500 miles to a Target with a Crypt Curse or Cryo-Katana, I would. As it is, it seems the case assortments that came to my country didn't have the aforementioned kits. I hope everything works out.
