Hey everybody, I thought I'd toss up a small reminder email of the three stores we have in the area that can service our plastic crack addictions. Mainly in the form of 40k and AoS. Kingston Nexus - Downtown Kingston, our tournament venue kingstonnexus.ca/YGK Game Over - Off Montreal St on Hickson Ave, new site of the store that moved from Sydenham, sells GW and Magic at a discount from Nexus and SBT prices. Street parking only, but it's free, so there's that. Small stock of GW stuff, but will do special orders. SBT Comics & Games - In Kingston's West end, another small shop but has a gaming area and sells 40k & AoS sbtcomics.com/Action Packed Comics & Games - Downtown Kingston, another smaller shop that carries GW products (No website)

I didn't know there was a place in Sydenham. Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't know there was a place in Sydenham. Thanks for the heads up. Likewise. Not sure it's closer to me than the other two, but I do enjoy driving somewhere other than downtown, ha. Will have to check it out one day.

Oh, if memory serves, there is also another place in Kingston with some GW stuff. Action Packed Comics. I've never been there though, due to lack of parking.

I've never been in myself, but it doesn't mean they should be excluded from the list of places that CAN sell GW products. Initial list has been updated; thanks for the heads up, as I had thought they stopped carrying GW stuff.

Action packed has a pretty sordid history. Buyer beware.

I was going to say avoid buying their pokemon cards, but yeah, I just avoid in general

Yeah, to be honest, despite the fact I've never been to Action Packed, I was debating if I should mentioned it or not. I've heard some things on the Kingston reddit that made it sound shady, and from what you guys are saying, it sounds like it may be on point. In the end I decided to mention it anyway, more for people that may live near it and have it as the easiest place to go to.

Strongly agree on avoiding Action Packed Comics, I've seen lots of folks burned by them.

Updated that the Sydenham store moved to Hickson Ave by Monstreal st. Sucks for those of us outside of Kingston, but good as another place close by that also offers a discount over the prices we're used to seeing on shelves.

SBT has some pretty exciting news for the community. HUGE NEWS! More specific details to follow soon but we are moving again! Not far (about a 1.5 minute drive from our current location), just over near the Riocan on Gardiners rd. Transition will happen over the next few months. But why move??? 1) For starters, its over 3 times larger than our current space! Yes 3 TIMES LARGER! 2) Its on a better express bus route with a bus stop almost right at our door! 3) It puts us in a great retail hub destination in the city! 4) Our gaming space will DRASTICALLY improve! It will be on a separate floor, away from the retail area. And.....it will be larger than our entire store area currently. Nearly 1500 square feet of gaming space! Expect more tournaments! More leg room! Regular Warhammer events and other games that we struggled to fit previously. 5. Stronger internet! We've always had great cell reception but now we will have great WIFI access (which as gamers all know has been a challenge at our current spot!) 6. More product! With more space comes new product! We are excited to expand our paint, miniature and model lines as well as more toys and collectibles than ever before! Stay tuned! www.facebook.com/100022381398920/posts/pfbid0mGCvdqQEKGZD7KyLo4sNZA4S2BUYV3UXTUmMqRXSgX8Yg734jwbPy9XwKPGUF3tFl/?mibextid=Nif5oz

He had me at free parking haha.
I do love nexus, but it is nice having a shop on my side of town that happens to be on my way home from work. I have stopped at his current location many times to grab a paint or just peruse the video games.
Very happy to see this growth!
