5 stars. The service at this Dragon Fire games shop is AMAZING. The employees and shop owner are…read moresuper kind and knowledgeable about various TCG's. Every time I walk into the store I leave feeling refreshed. They have an amazing wide selection of singles and sealed product from various TCG's that I think almost anyone could find a card or item they like. When I walk into here it's like I feel like a kid walking into a candy shop again. It's always a pleasure doing business with this shop.

At first, I was thrown by how TCG-focused Dragon Fire Games is, with most of its space taken up by…read moreplay space. But this place is a true gem. The owner, Evan, is very kind and personable and it's clear he wants to encourage a positive gaming community in Lynchburg. He's also a great businessman, which is essential because when a business does good, I really want them to flourish and stick around. All the employees here are likewise kind, funny, and helpful- I've never felt ignored or treated poorly at all. The space has restrooms, cheap sodas and Gatorade, gorgeous dice sets, card packs, TTRPG books, and more. I've now played a few Lorcana casual league and tournament events here, and Dragon Fire Games has definitely succeeded in fostering a safe and inclusive space for gamers (especially us older-aged gamers and newbies). I wish I was able to hang out here more often (and that the games didn't go so very late, for me), but I'm very grateful to have found this place and for Evan's continued management of the space. Definitely come check it out!

I will generally drive the road courses when I'm out because it's all driver-vs-track with up to seven other contests going on at roughly the same time... high banks mean high speed and the Gerding King road course is both. even the main straight is tilty! thought my car was going to slide off the track when I set it down on orange; it was moving sort of slideways and hanging on the guide as I started my first lap because the tilt is that aggressive! felt totally out classed and way out of my league for a long minute... but that brief bit of uncertainty makes Mach 1 stand out for me and the need to stay fast all the way around builds character - the skill part is knowing when to "fast" and when to brake. drags and ovals are generally better with a couple other racers to taunt and tease and are usually populated by a dedicated and friendly group on race day. circle track racers are a peaceful and happy people, but like all 'cults' it can take up a good deal of your time and resources ;-) Mach 1 has what it takes to get you on the track and keep you there: they have rentals to get you started or you can pick up ready to drive or build-it-yourself cars in your choice of styles and colors, plus parts and accessories to personalize whatever it is you decide to run. I have a basic factory built that can mostly keep up. I'm not likely to win any serious competition but I'm on the track here and there and elsewhere primarily for the adventure...

This store is really a one-of-a-kind - I've never seen a model kit store until this one, and the…read moreselection is HUGE! Apparently, this store has the largest selection of scale model kits in Virginia. In ALL of Virginia. This. In this Uber-small town of Staunton. I found brands from USA, Japan, China, Italy, and other countries. There's also planes, boats, cars - just about any model kit you can imagine. This is pretty much a model kit store of the dreams - primarily for adults that are into the hobby. Surprised to find this, and found an Italian model kit that isn't even sold online, and at a good value - SOLD!
