If I can add a few more for those of us of the European persuasion. I've spent a lot of money with Jadar Hobby in Warsaw (www.jadarhobby.pl). Very good for East European stuff and utterly reliable in my experience. Another Polish store I've used once is www.martola.com.pl. Had some out of stocks on my order but were quick to get them. I've used a store in Kiev several times (www.hobby.dn.ua). Again, useful for East European stuff and also in my experience utterly reliable. I have bought Live Resin direct from source at www.models-hobby.com and not been able to fault them. Better pricing than re-sellers and reasonable postage. I would not recommend SOGA models in Russia. Ordered a load of stuff and most of it turned out to be out of stock despite being listed, with no back-order facility. Blast Models in France are good, if a bit niche: understandable French leanings (www.blast-models.com). I've used the Czech store PM Ilona once: they did what they promised (www.pmilona.cz). Creative Models (www.creativemodels.co.uk) and Model Hobbies (www.modelhobbies.co.uk) are both good. I have bough SKP products direct once at www.skpmodel.eu. On a sample of one they were fine, but rather oddly they don't list some products that are available through re-sellers. I've bought direct from MiG and he was fine: shipping was a bit slow. I've stopped using Lucky Model because, as others have noted, their in-stock level has plummeted off the graph lately and re-stocks don't seem to happen in the predicted times. I notice their discount periods have become fewer in number and lower in % over the last year or so. I used to rely on them for Legend at a good price, but I've now gone direct to Legend this time for a bunch of things. Haven't got the goods yet so can't comment on reliability.
