I do not think there is once spec of room left in the store to put anything. It is jammed packed! The staff are great and friendly. We went there to look for a few of the games we like. It is true , most people probably walk by not knowing what is on the other side.

Games Workshop is a very unique store. It sells kits (the one in the picture is priced at $90.00)…read moreof different armies, such as Lord of the Rings, Armageddon, the list is huge. You get to go in and paint your own men, they hold tournaments to play against others. There is a back room set up with large tables where the events are held. There is a weekly calender of events posted in the store (picture). If you want to engage in strategy games, this is the place to go. The staff referred to it as sort of a Chess game, but with huge armies. Overall I was impressed with the store and the staff were great, Stan is who I spoke with. I know 90.00 sounds like a lot for a started kit, but the average video game runs 70.00.

Seeing as I am a huge fan of JRPG's and the Lord of the Rings movies, I think I know what's best for nerds. And trust me, The Games Workshop is best for nerds. I never made the transition from Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy to painting miniature figurines and commanding imaginary armies it the back rooms of hobby shops, but I think I understand the appeal. It offers a ridiculous escape, and Games Workshop is eager to help and foster that fantasy for you. The staff is very helpful and incredibly knowledgeable about the various products they sell and they talk about the games with such a passion that you'd have no soul if you weren't even the least bit intrigued. Starter Kits for the various games are expensive, but when you breakdown the cost against the hours of entertainment you're going to have I would say that the price is fair. Obviously this kind of thing is not for everybody, but for those who have an interest in sci fi/fantasy or in epic board games such as Risk it is certainly worth a look. You may find a great new hobby!

First off, big thumbs up for investing in downtown Dartmouth!…read more Secondly, a nice expansion to the Strange Adventures brand. Providing all your comic/fantasy/sci-fi needs in a wee tiny little shop? That's the model upon which the Strange Adventures' legend was built. There are, of course, some downsides to such a small location. It can be a bit cramped and definitely intimate. If you're incredibly shy, this may not be the best venue for you. The stock is also limited but they can order in pretty much anything you want that's not in store. Still, they have the latest and greatest. Whether you're buying for yourself or getting a gift for someone, staff can help you navigate the geekery and find just what you're looking for. Overall, a great addition to Strange Adventures' line and to Dartmouth.

I just got home from my first visit to downtown Dartmouth's Strange Adventures and I almost don't…read moreeven know what happened. Here's what I knew: this small shop on the corner of Portland and Wentworth was hosting an extensive half-price sale on their comic books and graphic novels. Here's what I didn't know: that the sale was combined with a 'take one for free' deal. So, there I am, looking through the collection to pick out the first comic I've bought since my youth, and I land on a very cool Marvel Origins book that basically outlines...uh...the origins of all the great heroes. $30, half-off, a hella deal. As any customer would, I take it to the counter, ready to take advantage of the promotion when the guy says, "Cool. Enjoy." and slides it back over to me. Intelligent and articulate as I could be, I said something along the lines of, "Buuuuaaahh huh?" Yep - apparently I could have taken it home for free. Just 'cause. I mean, that's not even a sale. That's just free awesome stuff, right? Am I crazy? Anyhow, since taking it would have made me feel like a shoplifter, I picked out a cheaper comic as a freebie and paid $13 for the big one. Any shop literally shoving free product in my hand seriously deserves some of my cash. I still got a crazy deal but avoided the guilt of being the biggest freeloading first-time customer ever. A Strange Adventure indeed.

My son (9) went in and told the guy it was his first ever purchase. That slime ball sold my son a box of cards for 80$ that was released the DAY EARLIER and sold for 30$ at authorized Pokemon shops, these guys go around to all the stores and buy boxes then mark them way up. I can't believe you ripped off a nine year old with such pride. I hope this message reaches new collectors and you avoid this place. We will never set foot in this scalper shop again.

Why drive over to Halifax and have to fake being cool and ironic when you can roll into GRC and be appreciated and welcomed. The store is easy to get to- Dartmouth is not located in the Gemini sector of deep space- just cross the bridge people! Oh do I get tired of people belly aching about Dartmouth being too "far" away! The selection of toys, comics, and games is pretty sweet, but the used toy cabinets are the best! Every day is a new adventure and collectors will be sure to find gems here rather than be jacked up on kijiji and eBay. The service is really what sets this joint apart! People come to see Daroptimus Prime, owner and leader of the geekobots Take the time to talk to him, you might piss your self laughing in the process. He is a solid guy and is a customer service specialist! Anyway, we are going today! See you there.

I wouldn't necessarily call myself a comic book fan but I love to look at the manga and figurines. I asked if they had any Archie comic books for sale and I was directed toward some and was told that they were selling old Archie books for $1.00 each. I couldn't believe my ears. I excitedly asked where I could find them and I bought five of them. I've loved the Archie books since I was a kid (before the terrible television show Riverdale came out). I thanked the store employee for being so helpful and he introduced me to their adorable dog who I now follow on Instagram. The dog's Instagram handle is @strangegromit. Please give this dog a follow. He's SO CUTE! While he isn't always at the store, if you go every day like I did while I was in Halifax, you're bound to run into him at some point.
