100% reliable, but I limit my business with them to stuff that I know is going to be uber-exclusive or that will have a ridiculous aftermarket price.
Unfortunately, the checkout system isn't just ghetto--it doesn't exist. You send an email to Ryan, who then responds with a total and sends a Paypal invoice. Once you've shopped with him a few times and he knows you're good for it, you can do a partial deposit (I usually just pay in full to be done with it). As soon as the item is in stock, he'll email you and ask for your shipping preference, then send you a Paypal invoice for that. Once paid up, the item ships immediately. Everything I've ever ordered has been well-packed and arrived with no issues.
So I guess the best thing to say is that they're 100% reliable, but there's heavy administration on the back end, so expect to wait for days or weeks before hearing about the status of your order. It's just not as convenient to shop with them as you might hope it would be.

So in other words, clear my schedule tonight because I'll probably be issuing warnings to all the people who will be getting overly excited/righteous about news of another reproduction G1 toy?
