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.

It's time for a more positive look at this store, from a brick and mortar perspective. I have never…read moreordered or bought or sold cards here, but this is a nice board game store. Is it the best, or the cheapest board game store in the city? No. But, is it a great board game store, with very good prices, that almost anywhere else would be the number one destination? I'd say yes. If you like the hobby, by all means, come on in. They actually received shipment of some new titles before any other stores in the city had them, which is incredible. It means getting them on the table those few days earlier, and in the world of board gaming that can make a pretty big difference. It's a nice place to walk around. And you might even overhear the staff talking about how they can't tell time. And then talking about how silly it is that the others can't tell time. All you have to do is say what number the big hand is at, for the hour, and the small hand for the minutes. And then another staff talking about how that's not right at all. It's cute. It's quirky. Recommended.

The store is HUGE for it being…read morein the middle of Toronto Downtown, and be able to accompany space to have tables to play games, is a surprise to me. The store has tons of staff to help you with tons of questions and they are all nerds of their own type too. The staff were friendly when I was here. They were attentive, and wanted to help all people just randomly browsing the store. Their selection of board games is huge, and they have an area of paints too for those who do paint figurines too.They literally have all your nerd stuff here in the middle of Downtown Toronto. I loved it. And to have a huge community of players to play MTG in the back of the store too, that was just epic. I registered for a night for EDH and the community is helpful and nice too. Will come again in the future for some more community nights!!

BUYERS BEWARE!!! stay away from this crooked seller unless you don't care for them to steal your money. highly NOT recommended

It's a nice place to look for a gift for those geeky type of people too that are into cards, comics, action figures and board games. There's so much selection and if they don't have something, they will try their best to get it for you.

Admittedly, it's okay to kill time in, if you don't mind having to root around like a truffle hunting hog, but it manages to combine strange selection (I found a bunch of Tron action figures) with strangely high prices. You might find a good value, or something. It violates pretty much every rule of retail in terms of organization and presentation, being more like a massive single retailer basement rummage sale. It's a shame, since the downtown store has been improving and the junction store is a good venue. I guess this is the picture in the attic.

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 :).

Legends is my go-to store for all my tabletop games. It's so close to my house that it's almost…read moredangerous. 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.

I took it home but found some dead pixels on the screen (it's natural for these devices as they age). So in a hurry I went back to get it exchanged. The staff was very helpful in my problem and swiftly exchanged my unit for one in better condition. And I can't forget about the sheer amount of stuff they have in the store. Think of any system, and they'll most likely have it there as well as an assortment of games. Huge shoutout to the staff there too - a nice red-haired woman helped me with looking at the games and the enthusiastic manager who was understanding and is clearly having fun running this business. If you want a place for retro games, this store will satisfy you and then some. 5/5

I went there and the attendant was saying that the market had gone up. So I still spent a good amount of money for the benefit of the doubt but l got home and triple checked the market value of the items that I purchased and it actually dropped significantly in market value. I'm confident to say that they have the highest pricing around Toronto in terms of buying from them! Very disappointed!

Finally a nerd store that gets it!…read more I've never been to X Planet prior to Thursday. I've recently come across some free time, and was looking for painting supplies as opposed to models as I have lots of unpainted guys. I cannot recall the name of the fellow working there who introduced himself to me. Sorry. We even had a 10 minute conversation, and I can't recall his name. The store seems to be modelled after a GW layout, with lots of gaming tables in the front with full scenery to get your attention Having been to a number of comic book stores that morphed into gaming stores it was so refeshing to walk into a non-GW gaming store that was clean, uncluttered and did not smell. They had a small RPG section in the store, but that's not the crux of their business. There's a tonne of Privateer Press and GW product in the store. They even had Warhammer Fantasy Battalion boxes in store. My wallet started to drool. Anyways off to the painting stuff which was why I was there. They had Vallejo Game, and Model, and the airbrush versions too. I believe that there was GW paint as well. They had a couple of the bigger Vallejo paint sets (the $300+ ones) but I wish that they had the 8 and 16 bottle sets They also carry Citadel Paint Really liked the store. I'll definitely come back in the future. Plus its closer to my house than the two that I recently reviewed in Brampton.
