It's sad. Lots of companies going under. I think it will take sever years for the industry to get healthy, if it ever does. Lots of things going against the industry to really have it become stable.

They had good prices on some stuff but they had a bad habit of charging your credit card and then telling you the stuff you ordered was not in stock.

Aww- that stinks- they had hard to find stuff that no one else had, and at great prices most of the time. I'll miss that site for sure.

Damn they where the only place I knew to get trap grenades! Now how am I gonna trick some one into blowing themselves up in a game!

For those who think a paint grenade is a paint grenade the trap grenades where different. They looked like your standard atomic ordinance type of grenade but they went off the second you pulled the pin. They where great for challenging people to a grenade duel and giving them one or for tossing them at a group and then having your buddy shout "Hey idiot you forgot to prime it first!" then laughing when they picked it up and thought to use it against you. Let alone the standard trip mine usage.

At least they are giving advice on how to apply for a refund. It is sad to see another store to close. I never dealt with them.

I remember buying a product from them once many years ago. It came with one of those little Jesus pamphlets that tell you how you're going to basically burn in hell.


Never bought from them since.
