As Denmark's premier specialty chain for comics, games, and pop-culture collectibles, Faraos Cigarer operates across Copenhagen, Odense, Aarhus, and Lyngby. Originally inspired by the world of Tintin, the stores have evolved into the ultimate hub for enthusiasts, boasting an expansive selection of action figures, manga, board games, RPGs, and costumes. I kept seeing their tin-tin esque logo and decided to come in, the Aarhus location is crazy and the kids loved stopping in quickly. It's very close to the public parking we parked the rental walk and also an easy walk from Dokk1 library, the main bus station, and the Street Food food hall. They have a very large section of cool paints, brushes, and accessories for painting miniatures. This was the most crowded section of the store with lots of people browsing this area on a Thursday. The most interesting area for us was the medieval costume section. I have never seen anything like this, they have armor made of out real metal as well as replica weapons from realistic to soft enough to do fake battle with. I have never seen anything like this in the US and was immediately reminded of LARPing and medieval role play.  They also had a bunch of local comic con and sci fi event posters and flyers, seems like a good place to find out any of the local nerd events happening. read more
