Going to www.smallblueplanet.com (http://www.smallblueplanet.com) will give you the following message.

Small Blue Planet's website closed 11:00 am 9/23/05.

Thank you for your patronage over the last 7 years.

This info was broken by Firefly in the following thread a little while ago, but I beleive that it deserves it's own.

They were expensive, they were diverse, and they shipped to Canada for outrageous shipping fees. I'll miss surfing the site and never buying anything.

I agree. I used to check out their stuff all the time, but I never bought anything because shipping for, say, a Corps figures & vehicles playset cost about as much as the set itself...
Outrageous indeed.

Post by: Agent_Loop on September 29, 2005, 07:07:05 PM: I was a victim to their outrageous shipping fees. About $130 CDN (shipping included) for two Eversparkle dio sets that probably only retailed at $14 each. Well, I hope they saved that money for their retirement fund.
