My first stop is
Discountmodels.com
Their prices can't be beat and I usually get my stuff in a week or less.
I also use many of the other stores listed above. Missionmodels.com is great for the odd stuff but since they're in California and so am I, I get nailed with the Arnold tax.
Finally, I buy a lot of stuff on eBay. If you are a little patient, most of the common stuff ends up going dirt cheap. I've bought a ton from overseas (usually Hong Kong and Korea) and I haven't had a problem yet. Look for the overseas sellers that offer ground/ocean freight. It takes about 2 months but the shipping is only about $8 US. I bought a Tamiya Humvee (with the grenade launcher) about 2 months after it was released for only $15 including shipping. Can't beat that!
