Hi, Corey.

The Worldhouse is no longer in business as a store. They still have their web
s ite, and I think Meryl still has some old, old stock she's eventually going
to liquidate, but the store itself is now gone. History. Kaput.

You're missing Crossed Swords, Toronto's miniatures specialist store. It has a
(rather lame placeholder) web page at:
http://www.shopcanada.com/swords1.html

You don't have Bushman's (which I've not been to), Game Trek, Mindgames,
Baysho re Hobbies, or Imperiums to Order (all of which I have visited). Here's
a web p age with game stores in the Toronto area (that's a liberal definition,
as they include Hamilton and Kitchener):

http://www.interlog.com/~kerwy/games/stores.html

You'll want to add most of the stores on that page. If you're just planning to
include miniature stores, you'll HAVE to add Crossed Swords, Bayshore, and
Impe riums.

Take care, Allan

Hi!

The Silver Snail down on Queen St still, to the best of my knowledge, carries
a variety of RPG and Miniature stuff, along with their usual stacks of comics
and collectibles.

There's a store up in Newmarket (ontario, just north of Toronto) called Triple
Play Comics and Games, run by a great guy named Gord. They're mostly a GW
stockist, and have a bit of RPG stuff. If the demand was there, I'm sure he'd
be willing to look at stocking other companies' game products. Nice to go
there 'cause Gord is such a good guy.

Old Glory (makers of a LOT of excellent miniatures - for those involved
in historicals, having an Old Glory catalogue is a must, and they do have some
fantasy stuff too. they have excellent lines of 15mm and 25mm WWII stuff, and
their prices are very reasonable, particularly for those used to seeing
pricing ah-la GW and Clan War...) has a Canadian distributor.  Right now
they don't have a store - run out of a house with a basement full of
miniatures (literally full - warehouse shelving racks...).  John
Jennings and Melanie Schmarje (his wife) are the proprieters. Email at
oldglory@interlog.com and they have a website in progress, telephone at
416-766-7690.  Excellent stuff.

In Ottawa, there is a store called, I think, Fandom II.   It has a
pretty good selection of gaming stuff of all kinds.

Hope this helps,
