FLGS Perth Australia

Once again the US Navy is taking me to parts unknown - this time to Perth. Are there any good places to shop for RPGs. Four months away from my homeport FLGS has gotten me anxious to do some serious shopping.

Thanks

im interested to find out as well. there's a good chance that i would be migrating to perth within a few years, and it would be good to know if i can still get my favourite rpgs at a good FLGS there...

Well, I got my shipboard internet to work, did a quick search, and came up with the following:

Perth Hobby Center
396 Murray Street, Perth
Phone: (08) 9322 3376

Tactics
London Court, Perth
Phone: (08) 9325 7081

Gamesity
Shop A51a Harbour Town Shopping Centre
840 Wellington Street, Perth
Phone: (08) 9321 0755

Gotham Collectables

Now, I’m wondering…. How do these places rate? Which ones carry a good selection of RPGs (D&D, RIFTS, Rolemaster, etc.), the availability of current products, and their customer service?

Thanks

As a Perth native I heartily recommend Tactics. Currently the best RPG shop in the city. There are other shops around with more limited games/supplies selections, but Tactics has the best range.

It can be a little hard to find. London Court runs north-south between St Georges Terrace and the Hay Street Mall in the middle of Perth's central business district. Tactics is in the basement at the St Georges Terrace (southern) end.

Ask any cab driver to drop you off at the St Georges Terrace end of London Court and you'll find it easily.

No, I don't work there.

Edit - Re. Customer service etc: I've always found the staff very friendly and helpful. Although it has the best range of products and games it is a fairly small store so you might be out of luck looking for the newest, most popular products (locals like me tend to order them in advance).

If I can track down their email address I'll post it, but I think I've lost their business card.
