      @@BillsWargameWorld My dad and I took a trip to Gettysburg the other year and visited BOTH of those places. They are both great stores. Here in NoVA there are a couple of places that sell Warhammer and Warlord but nothing I would call a Hobby Store, or like this...may need to do a road trip.

      Very true. They are a disappearing breed. Here in Toronto they are vanishing like Bison on the prairie. Hang on to them and keep them close to your heart's.

    Great store! All of the hobby stores like this in my area of NJ are gone now. I loved perusing the the old stores when they were here and ALWAYS walked out with something.
    Thanks for the tour Bill.

    Nice little video. You showed that he had a lot of varied stock, and highlighted some beautifully painted items.
    There will always be people who complain that you didn't focus on certain things enough, but honestly despite how small the store is you could have spent half an hour in there and not covered everything. Heck you could have spent half an hour just focusing on the painted items. That is the kind of place where you either go into knowing exactly what you are looking for, or spend an hour or so checking everything out and poking in all the corners.

    Oh god, I could spend hours in that shop going through the stock... That stock of vintage hex and counter games...
    My wallet is happy there's an ocean between it and the shop :-)

    Have never been there but suspect its the Lads behind the Counter that make the place. You'd start talking about paint or figures and before long you are swapping stories and the afternoon has just gone.
