Star War Shop Closes

I was just coming here to post this. Kind of major news, and pretty sudden. I don't think very many people were impressed with how they ran their business, but they did have exclusives and occasional sales that were good. I wonder if they're going to have some sort of last-minute blowout sale.

sad in a way, but i can't say i didn't see this one coming.
i personally had QC issues with their products and then their customer service has been horrendous on top of that.

for the pricing they had on certain items, you better have some darn good CS, or else you'll lose customers.

Crap. I never ordered the Garden Jawa.

Since they canceled all pending orders I'm guessing no blow out sale.

Never bought anything from them. Always sad to see someone fail though.

Maybe we're reaching that point of Star Wars over-saturation, like in the late eighties. Prequels, cartoons, series, toys... it's kind of all over the place. Just a matter of time before it becomes "uncool" again. I think it already has, it just doesn't register to us hard-hard-core fans.

I think they're closing because they were always ridiculously over-priced. The only time I bought from them was when they had sales.

announcement is a bit confusing.............sounds as if they are just going to restructure the site.............

Yup, my feelings exactly.

They never shipped to my area so I cannot say I'm sorry. RIP. There are other better shops like BBTS, Razors or Toy Palace anyway.

Overpriced sure but it was a solid place to nab exclusives especially from things abroad. I'm really wondering if they'll have a blowout on the last day, clear inventory...

I only ever bought exclusives as the shipping costs to the UK were too high.

It's sad to see, but I know George isn't hurting for cash.

I've been going through Star Wars burn out for about the last year or so. Hopefully some day I get back into the fun... but who knows.
