I ordered a set of Crimson HISS stickers from him around 6 or 8 months ago. They took a while to show up, but when they did I was happy with them. I actually liked the fact that they were not pre-cut, because I was able to trim most of them smaller than the Hasbro sticker sheets.

I ordered some from him quite awhile back, and they were ok. I had to wait quite awhile, but they did come.

There will be a revised and updated list coming in the next few weeks for J. Ruben. Shogi, where did you get that quoted post from 334th that points out you and I as "bashing" him?
He makes it sound like I'm out to tarnish his business. I'm not. The few times I've ever made comments on his decals was in a few threads where someone was asking for feedback on the different repro decal makers. I tried ordering decals from him several years ago when I first decided to use repro decals, but he never replied to my order request. After that, several people told me his decals didn't exactly match the originals, color wise, and that they were prone to smearing if not coated with something. If he has made improvements, great, I hope they are awesome decals. Back at the time, someone directed me towards J. Ruben's decals instead, and after using his Sky Striker decals I stuck with him. I liked them so much I now send Ruben lots of decals to have repro'd. Cobra Stickers, J Ruben, 334th, they all make repro decals. I wish them all success. They all offer different takes on repro decals, I just happen to already deal with Ruben and I'm happy with his products. To each his own though. |

I ordered some Dragonfly stickers. I didn't like 'em. Not at all. I didn't like the quality and the feel, and they aren't pre-cut, at least mine weren't. This was a couple years ago. It also took forever to get them. They also aren't printed on the same type sticker/paper that original stickers or CobraStickers.com uses.
Personally, I wouldn't order from them again. If I can recommend anyone it would be Ruben Jimnez. I've ordered over 75 sets (with multiples) over the last four years. Can't say enough about them. You have to cut them out with sharp scissors, but they are worth it. Here is one of my Skystrikers and my SHARC, both with Ruben's decals. I really can't say enough about the quality and durability:
