GEARBOX CLOSED?
« on: June 24, 2012, 09:43:45 AM »
I dont mean to startle anyone,  but recently i was reading through the Phoenix Shadow Co.  Facebook page for there upcoming zombie game,  and the page owner posts "friends we have some bad news. gearbox airsoft will be closing. regretfully we will have to push back pre registration back" Just wondering if anyone else has heard about this.  Thanks

yeah, i was just went there recently and the dude working there said that the owner, i think henry, was facing some struggles in the hospital, and thats probably why he will no longer be able to operate his business.. theyre not closed just yet though.
I realize that while most people suck, there are still some genuine characters that exist out here. I'll show my appreciation by being genuine in return.
Love the sport.

The person that works there is Matt. And the owner is Ron who is an awesome person and an unofficial member of Saguaro Airsoft team. Henry runs Fightertown!

I was in there yesterday for some time, and there was no mention of closing.
Ron is going to be busy with treatments for awhile, but Matt, Paul, and Jeramiah are still running the store, and doing a good business Saturday.

They may close thier doors at the end of july, but even if they do they still need our buisness. Its been hard enough for them to get stuff in latley, but now with Ron in the hospital things have just gotten harder. Everytime I go in Ive started buying atleast one item, Id ask that everyone else do the same. Even if its a small item.

When the shit hits the fan, dont be in front of the fan.

I was there Friday. They are closing in July, that's why the store is so out of stock, prices on things are naked down As well.
