Their customer service is excellent, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the community is always filled with people who will make you laugh. They offer a wide variety of trading cards and other collectibles. They have other merch they offer as well, from action figures to sports merch to even board games. They also regularly hold events which many dedicated people come out to attend. I wholeheartedly reccomend Dolly's for a great time.

Had a poor experience with this store. They sold me a defective deck box, and when I went to…read moreexchange it, they told me they couldn't do that since it had been opened. There would have been no way to know it was defective without opening it. Then they told me to "speak to Konami about that," knowing very well that's basically an impossible task. I would have spent much more money at the store, but they chose to scum me over $3. Would not recommend.

This is a great model shop.

Do you need decals for whatever reason? They have a big free bin near the front. Do you need cement? What types? There are so many! And, if you don't know, the guys who work there do, and they will make sure you walk away with what you need. If you've been thinking about giving models a go, or are just looking for a place that has shelves lined with them, this is where you want to go. It's hard to believe that a brick and mortar like this place still exists, but it's wonderful that it does!

Great board game store to visit with a date or group of friends…read more Came here in person at rush hour to pick up a game, as I didn't want to pay for shipping online. It's located in Richmond Hill in the business/warehouse district off a windy road called West Beaver Creek. The address is easy to find, lots of free plaza parking, it's next to a kids dance studio and very visible store sign. Nothing sus like another yelper stated. Inside is very spacious, clean and bright. I love how organised the shelving for new games were laid out and they even more games in back. Off the walk in, I was greeted immediately and four employees were excited to help me. They are game experts and could name off suggestions for games quickly, to pair with similar games I had in mind. Super fun to nerd off in the board game world here! I always cross reference with boardgamegeek.com first when planning to new purchases, but asked them in person to see if opinions lined up. I was impressed one employee was quick to suggest ones I never heard of. Prices are good to fair. I felt no pressure to buy anything there, they even offered if I wanted to test ones that they have opened or to get a feel of the pieces(card game quality for kid durability is real). I left with buying three games I had eyed online, and excited for the suggestions for the next visit. They have a free loyalty program, can't hurt to sign up when you're a board game investor, as this is one place to bookmark. No food or cafe noticed here, unlike other board game places. Maybe one day as they are still new.

As an adult with disposable income, what better way to spend it than on Pokémon cards. Recently…read moreembarked on a journey to collect the master set for a new release (Scarlet & Violet 151) so we've been hopping around hobby stores in the area trying to collect them all. I'm new to this addiction, I mean, hobby. But even with my limited research, it's clear to see which of the shops had knowledgeable, passionate, and well-organized staff. The owner of Manta is one of those. He oozed with trading card knowledge and knew things from different releases off by heart. He knew his inventory like the back of his hand so that if we mentioned a card, he had an idea if they had it or not and found it for us. Thanks for helping us to find multiple fat Pikachus for our collection. Outside of Pokémon, Manta has a variety of TCG and collector items. I saw One Piece, Disney, YuGiOh, etc. There's also a sitting area which looks like a place where tournaments are held. You also know a shop is great when you have other shops recommending them, which is how we found Manta in the first place. They came highly recommended from another hobby hot spot of ours (Three Kingdoms).

Like many others who play there on a regular basis - whether it's Modern events, "Thusrday Comander," or Friday Night Magic - I have found OMG to be a haven and a fun hangout space for nerds of every age. I have even met and fostered many friendships there over the years. Extremely knowledgeable staff, great selection of Magic the Gathering singles and some sealed, as well as deck boxes, sleeves (inner and outer), and playmats, not to mention the plethora of board games, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) books and figures, Warhammer, and more. Whether you're interested in casual or competitive gameplay, picking up new singles for a deck, or maybe a board game (or two) for a fun-filled night in, OMG is the place to go!

First time coming here. Upon entering, it's a bit confusing as to where you're supposed to go. The…read morefront desk is tucked away in the back and there were tables/guests blocking the walk way so it was difficult to see where to check in. I got a table in the main area with 2 of my friends. You have to pay a minimum of $15 per person, but for my party, it was a collective of $45 split between the 3 of us. We ended up ordering 3 drinks, 1 French fry, and 1 sweet potato friends. Unlimited game play and you can stay for however long you want. The food and drinks were mediocre but we still enjoyed our time here. They have a decent amount of board games to choose from. They have about 6 private rooms that you can book with your friends if you wanted more privacy. The main area can get loud and crowded as the tables are placed side by side from each other. I saw some mahjong tables and poker sets too. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and we like that it stays open until 2AM. Service was OK. One of the staff members was kind enough to recommend some games too.

Location/Service This place is the intersection of Warden…read moreand Denison - within a small commercial/business plaza. There's plenty of parking there and it's not usually packed. Interior is completed renovated - it's quite nice and a lot more classy than it initially first started. There are different rooms - dedicated to either Mahjong or Murder Mystery or just simple board games. Staff spoke mostly in Mandarin - generally pretty nice when we dropped by. Setup/Drinks You can either do a min $25 per person to play board games - which can include drinks to order. No time limit (I believe). A wide variety of Chinese/English games available - so there should be something available for your liking. You can also do Murder Mystery - this is in Mandarin - and it's around $30-$40. Basically you are given a role and you retell your story and find out from others who would be the killer. The staff would be a facilitator to help navigate/direct flow of the game. You can also do Mahjong - this is around $100-$125 per table, no time limit. Drinks are extra though - we ended up getting a free drink because the owner was a little nice to us for coming in for the first time. And there was a small hiccup with the mahjong table - which is an automated one, where it would auto shuffle and assemble for you. For drinks, I won't comment too much - it was pretty basic - and it ranges from bubble tea to slushies to just flower tea. The mahjong table was pretty cool - and since it was our first time coming in after their renovation, it was a nice try. We ended up staying there for almost 3-4 hours, just you know cause it's mahjong. I feel this place is more opened to the Mandarin population and not out to the public. They do have a WeChat account and you can talk to the owner directly to setup any gaming preferences.

Cool collectibles!…read more From the outside you may not be privy to the collectible treasures located inside. They have a great selection of the latest comics up front and boxes in the back of older ones. They also have a beat on some harder to find or newer items like collaborations between Scooby Doo & Transformers or GI Joe & Ninja Turtles. I picked up a latter collaboration which I had not yet seen in the States. Heroes world is a little off the beaten path, it isn't located in one of the busier strip malls but it's close enough. Staff, especially the owner was really friendly and helpful. They can ship your items too if you live in Canada.

It's been 6 years since I've been here and it's nice to see they survived the pandemic…read more Still a large library of board games available, both for purchase and to play in store. Apparently they also offer a consignment service where you can sell your products through them? Not too sure the details but there are shelves full of seemingly random stuff so if you're looking for an escrow to help sell valuables this could be an option..... You can come in and play games all day for a flat price of $7 (up from $5 six years ago, which is impressive). Have to bring in your own drinks though as there's no cafe although I guess fantuan does exist. Maybe there's a fridge of canned drinks I wasn't paying attention. There is also an annual membership that you can buy that includes various perks including a discount rate of $5 to sit and play Owner is friendly and knowledgeable and can teach various games, so if you're looking to learn something new or bring in a group for a board game event, this place is a fantastic option.

Twilight Cafe is a board game cafe with drink and food options available located in a strip plaza…read morenear Midland and Silver Star Blvd. The cafe actually has 5 locations all across the GTA, from downtown to Toronto to North York. The space at this Scarborough location is fully accessible with plenty of tables and games to choose from. In regards to the pricing, you can play as many games as you'd like within a 2 hour period for $6. Each hour after that is an additional cost. You do not have to order food or drink but I believe if it is busy (like on the weekends or Friday nights) you may have to make a drink purchase. I visited Twilight Cafe on a Friday night with 3 others where we spent 2 hours playing a few games. There is quite a large selection of games, some even in Chinese! We played a total of 2 different games several times. We also ordered food and drinks, which is done via a QR code on your table. The drink menu is quite extensive and there are lots of tea/milk tea options. Food wise, there are snacks, desserts, as well as some rice bowls as well. Service was friendly and our food was made at a reasonable time. Our food and drinks was decent as we enjoyed playing board games together. During the Friday that we went, the place wasn't too busy which was great as we were able to talk freely amongst ourselves. Overall, a good casual place to play some board games with friends or to go on a date! There is a large game selection and the tables are spacious. Food and drinks are decent and the staff are friendly.
