The owners here are amazing and they've got underground records you can't find anywhere else in Toronto! Very impressed with this place.

Have not been to the Spadina shop but the Yonge St local was the bees knees back in the day.

Easily one of my favourite places to nerd out at. And DEFINITELY my favourite place to nerd out at…read morein 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 :).

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.

(the extravagant pleasure of this music reminds me of a similar time when i lived in nyc and awoke to sounds of a jazz band playing on the flatbed of a truck outside my first floor apartment window. people in the neighbourhood gathered around with lawn chairs, sitting on stoops, swaying the the melodies. it was lovely.) take a walk up a flight of stairs and slink into a corridor of a space which combines mostly vinyl records and books and then some cds, dvds and vhs as its wares. at the back of the store youll find a few shelves of books forming an arc around what visually appears to be the centrepiece of the the archives which is its turntable. it is at this turntable where you can, as has become the custom, listen to a record of your choosing before you buy it. i am a newcomer, of sorts, to records, in that i, like many other people of my age and older, left the cumbersome size of records for the more compact tape and its successors that came. so i grew up listening to records, damning a scratch on my favorite songs, terrorizing my mother when i was two to play the same sesame street fever record over and over and over again and probably discovering music in general through my parents collection. so it was with that history that i approached the guy at the front to ask him why people have stuck with and are slowly flocking back to the vinyl experience. though i still would have lots of research to do to fully understand the mechanics, he parlayed the fact that there is much more detail recorded onto records and the transferring of that original sound loses some of that detail along the way. it has sparked an itch in me to be sure. for the time being though, i enjoyed snapping photos of cool album covers that adorned the wall or the wooden cases of port that now held all the records for sale. i challenged myself with purchasing the largest compact book ive ever touched (the count of monte cristo). god help me for being so bold.
