Thanks to Jason for the news:

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.

****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.

36 Spruce Street Waltham, MA 02453 Voice: (781) 894-6792 Fax: (781) 894-6742

Hm... maybe we'll make a trip before the end of April... 40% off is nothing to sniff at...

Thanks for the info!

is this the same store that used to be right on moody?

always sorry to see a comic book store close ;(

Nope, this is off Moody on Spruce Street next to the small post office branch (behind what used to be Iquana Cantina).

You're thinking of http://www.myspace.com/eouterlimits , which is thankfully still on Moody (he moved into a new, larger space on the same side but down a couple of blocks a year or so ago, so I'm assuming he's doing well).

oh no. i didnt know. ppl neglect to tell me things. especially former owners and artists that created the sign... it feels like the end of a distinct period of time. even if my friends who were original owners and had a lot to do with it no longer do much with it.

holy crap!

If you're able/available/interested I might just have to make a wishlist of items to have purchased/shipped to Florida. There's plenty of D&D4E stuff that I want, and 40% off will more than cover the cost of shipping.

Always happy to help a FLGS, even if it's not-so-local as it used to be. :-)

You should inquire on their website . . . they are going to be doing online ordering anyway, so no need for me to be the middle man. :)
