There are definitely a few other brands and stores I've kept off the list - just because I've not used them/built them/heard significant things about them before. One other thing to mention, the postage on big sets can be significant (like 50% of the price of the set sometimes on Marstoy, you can save £20-30 by not buying near Christmas or Chinese New Year) - sometimes it's sensible to throw another 4-5 small cheap sets in if you're buying something big from YOURWOBB or Marstoy because the shipping on them is basically free.
