This place is hard to find — it’s BEHIND the giant white warehouse-looking building around the corner from where Google Maps will tell you to go. When you do find it, you’ll be pleasantly greeted by what looks like nothing so much as a crammed, somewhat drab retail space chock full of a supremely cool collection of toys, books, games, comic books, and everything in between. I wandered around for ages before I finally had to make my selection and leave due to time. Eminently browsable, very friendly staff, but they need signage on the street and the interior is crying out desperately for a remodel.

My go-to hobby store for board games, D&D, dice, Warhammer 40k and paints. They have a decent selection of each hobby, and anything they don’t have on the shelves you can ask the staff to order for you. Friendly staff and they have lots of regulars who frequent the place and play games in the Very Spacious gaming area. I also like that they have private gaming rooms if you want to play RPG’s without onlookers or distractions. Price wise they are quite good, and have sales now and then. I’ve been shopping from these gents since back in the days at Sci-Fi World(and Café!) on Steeles & Dufferin. Long time customer.

Legends is my go-to store for all my tabletop games. It’s so close to my house that it’s almost dangerous. The first time I came here I left with 3 games! It’s like Walmart lol you go in for one thing and leave with 10. There’s a pretty good selection of board games, both popular and obscure. If they don’t have what you’re looking for they’ll gladly order it for you and give you a call when it comes in. The guys who work there are all very nice and very knowledgeable. The first time I came, I was still fairly new to tabletop gaming so I wasn’t sure what to get. I had my eyes set on Agricola but after talking to the associate I realized I wasn’t ready for such a heavy euro game just yet. The associate asked us what we liked and then basically went through their entire collection with us, pointing out and explaining various games that he thought would appeal to us. You don’t get customer service like that anymore! All the games are also much cheaper than you would find at Chapters or Mastermind Games. They’ve also got tons of other nerd stuff like comic books, figurines, and superhero paraphernalia. The store is located in the back of the plaza so it’s difficult to find if you don’t know where to look.

Easily one of my favourite places to nerd out at. And DEFINITELY my favourite place to nerd out at in the GTA. Legends has extremely competitive pricing(Games Workshop stuff usually 20% off!) and a very nice selection of board games, comic books, cards, minatures, and geeky merch(I definitely picked up a Rainbow Dash mug on my last visit here.) If they don’t have something that you have your eye on, you can connect with them to see if they will order it for you(which they likely will, if they can!) Really flexible hours of operation, open late many nights of the week, and there are constantly events occuring here. They have a fairly large, well-lit, and clean gaming space in the back. Customer service here is quite friendly. I’d HIGHLY reccomend checking out Legends if you are in/around the Vaughan area to get your geek on :).

Great shop for magic the gathering players! Helpful staff and large clean space in the back for players to play. There is also other great selection of comics and toys.
