Ok, since you've specifically mentioned the Flagg, I'll chime in here. I've bought repro stickers from both Toyhax and RattlerRepros. I agree with everything Xerofall has said, and will also add this Specifically regarding the U.S.S. Flagg:
Toyhax: Cons: The stickers are printed on two different kinds of adhesive paper. So the Deck Stickers are a different kind of vinyl adhesive paper than the Tower Stickers. Personally, I was a little disappointed in the quality of the Deck Stickers.
The pre-cut Deck Elevator Stickers are/were (not sure if they've fixed it) labeled backwards on their sticker placement diagram, and the pre-cut shape is a little off.
Also, one thing I've ran into with Toyhax vs. Rattlerrepros is that Toyhax seems to use a thicker mil adhesive vinyl. This can pose some problems when applying decals to contoured surfaces. Usually, I heat the sticker with a blowdryer to help the vinyl conform to the surface better.
I've honestly thought about ripping my Deck Stickers back off and just ordering a sheet of Deck Stickers from Rattlerrepros.
Not to look like I'm just totally dogging on Toyhax, I've ordered stickers from them many times and the only stickers I've been disappointed in are the Flagg Deck Stickers. If you have the Terror Drome, I highly recommend their custom (chrome) computer screen stickers!
Now, on to Rattlerepros:
Con: Depending on how you look at it, the biggest Con is that they are not pre-cut. However, this only poses a problem if you don't want to take the time to cut the stickers yourself. I can honestly say that with the U.S.S. Flagg, I would not have wanted to cut out all those stickers for the Tower, but I wouldn't mind cutting the Deck stickers.
The only other Con I have with Rattlerrepros is the shipping time, but this isn't something he has control over. Rattlerrepros ships in a timely manner, but since he ships out of Mexico and the package has to go through customs, sometimes it takes a little longer in the process. I think I had some stickers go through customs in New York before making their way back down south to Arkansas. Go figure! Again, not Rattlerrepros fault. Just saying, if you order from Rattlerrepros - just be patient.
I've never heard of wormyworms, but I have bought some decals on eBay from TFKingdom(?) maybe. Whoever the eBay user was, the quality was similar to Rattlerrepros and they were not precut.
Good luck with applying stickers to your U.S.S. Flagg. The Hasbro decal placement diagram is kind of messed up. I searched for images of the box and prototype Flagg to fill in the gaps. I'm pretty sure that I am correct that the "Step Up" arrows are meant to actually point up in the direction of the ladders.
