AND… we have a few things you may not have seen prior. The doors are open, the register is ready, the game area is awaiting people and it’s a nice day outside.
Auction paperwork is available to pick up in person or to email us through the link to request a form fillable PDF.
Hey All. Yes, it’s Monday Night – But what better time to say… HOBBIT PLAY BOOSTERS ARE FINALLY HERE!
What’s more? Lots more as a matter of fact.
Mini dice towers (complete with a set of mini dice), Nolzurs next wave, Star Trek Captain’s Chair To Boldly Go and a bunch more. Ace of Aces newest version is back in stock. Even more boardgames, Wingspan Pocket and …more.
What are those pictures of the keyfob/wrist strap/what are those? A local maker has made these wristlets (or whatever you wanna call them). Great for a key chain key fob. Want to make sure your tape measure doesn’t get grabbed because you can’t tell it apart from others? Bingo! How about something to put your Work ID / Convention Badge or whatever on so you can put it on your wrist, or find it easier in your bag/purse? Blammo! Put it on your later pointer to stop grabby hands from thinking it’s theirs.
So… if you have other ideas what you can use them for – here they are. Come on in and grab yours today.
And. The FALL 2026 Auction is fast approaching. Paperwork should start to be available around the 11th of September. Drop off on (probably) the 27th of September.
