And the selection of toys! Incredible! My daughter was in heaven! Tons of sensory stuff - slime, squishies, glitter wands, a massive selection of Nee-Doh, etc etc. They also sell Schleich figurines, bunch of kits/sets for science, magic, gems, etc, and other "regular" toys. We mainly stayed in the toy section, so we didn't venture over to the hobby side, but it looked like there was tons of stuff. Place was clean and well organized. Ample free parking in the lot outside.

This is one of three locations for River City games and while it tends to be in a part of West…read moreEdmonton Mall that we rarely find our way to, we've made it a destination at least twice now. In addition to darts and pool tables (not quite my thing) they boast a wide variety of games for both families and adults, specializing in some that I just wouldn't know where to find elsewhere. The shop is both clean and well-stocked. And while the staff aren't overly friendly, if you engage them first, they tend to do a good job of answering questions and making suggestions. If there's a game you want, I'm sure they've got it!

Although smaller than the store on 99 Street, there is still a great selection of games here. My…read moregoal was to purchase an inexpensive set of darts, and that goal was achieved. The staff person who waited on me was very helpful and friendly, opening packages for me to handle the darts and make the right decision. There is a huge selection of accessories for people into pool and darts, and I will definitely come here again if I am in West Edmonton Mall and am in need of these items.

When I first walked into Comex Hobby, I didn't see anything that was particularly interesting--just…read moresome model kits and not-so-exciting action figures. But then I turned around, and a set of giant boobs, at least giant in a miniature sense, were staring me right in the face. It was Japanese sexism in woman characters at its best. These were action figures of various characters--I think some of them might have been from video games--that were hyper-sexualized and wearing very little clothing. In fact, in some cases the figures wore no clothing, and only their hands covered the places that separate this from being pornographic. But before I go too much on a feminist rant, I did find some other really cool stuff here. Everything in this store is imported from Asia. I found all this awesome Nintendo merchandise like Mario, Yoshi, and Princess keychains, key-lights, and wallets. I wanted to buy so many of these things, and I'm already thinking about Christmas presents for people (and myself!). They even had a little stuffed doll of Domokun--you know that cute, brown character from that popular poster that says, "Every time you masturbate... God kills a kitten - Please, think of the kittens." I really wanted to buy him, to always remind me not to masturbate. Although I ranted a little about the sexist action figures, this place is actually a super cool store--probably the best Asian import store I've been to.

My husband has purchased model supplies at Comex Hobby and asked me to picked up bare metal foil…read more I didn't know what it was or what it would look like so I went to the supply section and looked for it. Since I couldn't find it, I asked the sales associate if they had it. He checked with another associate and yes, they had it. They didn't have a dedicated hanger for it and it was behind another product. The packaging looked worn like it had been there for a year, or years. The last time I went, I bought a model paint rack for my husband as a gift. I asked the associate where it was as I thought this would save time than me trying to find it. They only had one left and the box was dented it but it had plastic covering it. The words on the box were written in Japanese but I hoped it wouldn't require much assembly. There always seems to be enough staff available to ask for help, if needed. The prices seem a little high but being in the mall, I would expect a bit of a mark up. I don't think the return policy is great, but then again, they wouldn't want people opening products or using them and then bringing them back. Decent store for those who like models and needs supplies, board games, and anime products.

I thought I was pretty set for nearby-ish hobby shops, but this is closer and better than the alternatives. The absolute best thing that'll keep me coming back forever is that the folks running the place strike the perfect balance between helpful/welcoming and chill. I'm always greeted right away (even if they are busy--like participating in one of their organized tournaments) but also gave me space to browse and didn't pressure me or get overly "helpy". Even though it is a small space, they seem to have everything I want. I found paints for my Warhammer models, unique and awesome minis (sometimes hard to find good female ones and my daughter found one she wanted here immediately), lots of books for D&D that I'm probably coming back for, and Magic cards as well. There is one paint I needed that they didn't have, and they are going to order it for me. They have tournaments and games scheduled regularly and are also available for drop-in type stuff. One game I've been meaning to check out is a women-identified D&D group, huge ups for inclusivity. Bottom line: shut up and take my money. Welcome to the neighbourhood, Gamer's Den!

I've been a customer of River City for quite a few years, and I made a trip last fall to stock up on jigsaw puzzles. The selection here is one of the best in the city, and honestly the prices were much better than Amazon or other online vendors I checked. The sales staff are very helpful, and were happy to go through their stock with me on the phone before I drove over. Along with puzzles, there are aisles of board games, and a huge section of supplies for pool tables, ping pong tables and other themed decor. I love coming here to browse, and prefer this location over their West Edmonton Mall store (which is also great) - there is more stock and more room to browse without feeling crowded.

Alright, the truth is you can probably find some of the board games here for cheaper online. The…read moreproblem is you have to wait for delivery and as we all know time = money. I've been to this location at least a dozen times. The staff is very helpful. When I was looking for a game I couldn't find it among the rows of options. The staff, seeing I was clearly looking, asked me what I was looking for and together we were able to locate it. I will say they don't have every popular or highly rated game here. However, they do have some great ones. I'd recommend you visit here because I think this location is the least busiest. Makes for quick grab and pay.
