[QUOTE="farscapesg1, post: 2391235, member: 15234"] Personally, I would love to support a good LGS if there was one nearby :mad: When I was in college (in Oklahoma actually) we had a local shop that was great. The guy that owned it was extremly friendly. You could go in and look through the materials and just chat with him about gaming or hours. He also had a back room or two that he set up as gaming rooms (though I never had a chance to game back there). He carried some miniatures, very little wargaming stuff, a ton of RPG material, and music stuff (some instruments, lesson books, music composition books, etc.). I spent a lot of money during high school and college there. The only problem I remember is when he went into business with a comic book shop and the personality of the store seemed to go downhill. Since then I have moved to Houston (actually about 45 minutes north of Houston) and I honestly haven't been able to find any good shops. A new shop opened about a year ago nearby (in The Woodlands) and I got my hopes up. I went in several times and most of the store is either comic books, wargaming tables, or Warhammer. The carry a tiny section of Wizard's prepainted minis, and an even smaller section of Reaper miniatures. Their RPG section is about 1 bookshelf. I talked to the owner on several occasions and my biggest question was if they were going to carry more Reaper miniatures. For 6 months he kept saying that he was working on a contract with them or something. I'd check in a couple times a month, and pick up a couple minis letting him know that it would be great if they carried a bigger selection. Then they didn't get any new models in for about 3 months and I haven't been back. The guy is nice enough, but if the place is just going to cater to the wargaming crowd, then I just don't feel like spending my time there. [/QUOTE]
