From owner Brian-

Hello All,

Through the talent and dedication of the Danger Planet Games and Hobbies community, staff, and leadership we have together established a most unique and special gaming and shopping experience over the last seven and a half years of which we can all take great pride. Together we have never been averse to meeting any challenge. Our collective endurance as a community is now being tested at a previously unengaged level as we are confronted by a multitude of compelling challenges; most significant among them being the imminent sale of the building housing our store. This issue, when set against the backdrop of the current economic climate and an impacted volume of sales, has forced a difficult decision that does not in any way diminish the contributions we have all made to support the store and its community. In order to best preserve and continue what we have founded, the leadership of Danger Planet Games and Hobbies has decided to close its current location at 36 Spruce Street in Waltham, Massachusetts as of the end of April 2009.

Although the store is closing we are not “going out of business”. We are simply taking the most responsible action that we can under the current circumstances. Plans are in development to maintain support to our community until we can secure a new location and reopen. In the meantime, Danger Planet’s website, http://www.dangerplanetgames.com will remain in operation at fully capacity. Additional details will be announced as they become finalized.


****Holiday Schedule****
Danger Planet will be open this Friday, April 10th, during regular business hours (Noon-10:00PM). Danger Planet will be closed on Sunday, April 12th, in observation of the Easter holiday and will reopen on Monday April 13th at Noon for business.




****Spring Cleaning Sale****
From now through the end of April Danger Planet is hosting a “Spring Cleaning” sales event. All in-stock merchandise is on sale for at least 40% off regular retail price. This discount will not combine with any other discount available through club participation, receipt collection, etc. and will not be applied to any special orders or newly released items.

Agh!

DP is a really great store, and in a really great location. This is a bummer. Here's hoping they can find another good one quickly.

Feel our pain! Everybody, treasure and support your FLGSs! For real. If you game there, they deserve your business.

No kidding!

This is bad news indeed.

And while I do not doubt anyone's good intentions, we'll have to wait and see if DP ever does return!

Which, of course, I really hope happens!

This is yet another blow for wargaming in the Eastern half of Massachusetts...

Danger Planet is an AWESOME store. Good luck to the whole team there and here's hopping for as quick and easy a transition as possible.

Danger Planet is an awesome store. It was my favorite in the Boston area. I hate to see it go under. And it was in such a good location!

I hope you can re-build when the economy picks up.

This store will be greatly missed, Hopefully they will be up and running again soon. The owner actually got me into playing warhammer 40k about 14 years ago.

Sorry to hear it man. I was just going to e-mail you guys too. My wife was just in your shop while in Boston on Business. She was interested in some of the "Giant Squigs" that were in a display case there. I cant find metion of the guy who made them as all his web sites are closed. Any idea how I go about getting hold of some of those buggers before you guys close down?
