Unfortunately this will be the only meet up in March! Hope to see you all back in April!
We now have full authorized retailer access to Gunpla and its associated products! Paints, kits, tools, you name it. Speak to Kevin or Pat for discounts off special orders
Last meetup, some members brought in their amazing work and we encourage anyone that is comfortable to bring in a kit to display or to even have reviewed. We think everyone has the opportunity to learn something new fro...m seeing these finished kits, even the veteran builders.
Also feel free to bring in any kits to work on, whether it be applying decals, snapping together or even some light weathering. Don’t feel pressured into bringing anything, if you would like to drop by and just see what everyone is working on, then come on down.

User

Got a couple more kits in this past weekend!

Very friendly and helpful staff, tasty food and very diverse selection of card games and board games.

User

The staff are very helpful and the players are always willing to help and teach the new ones. Our 6 y/o totally enjoyed his first SNM (Saturday Night Magic) and didn't get intimidated by older players 'cause everyone's so friendly. This is definitely a place worth going to on a regular basis.

I've been meaning to post this review for a while now.



I originally scoped out ShoeBox when looking for a new location to play MTG prerelease events at. What I found was a fun and welcoming atmosphere with a friendly (yet competitive!) player base.



The owners/employees are welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable.



Even though it is a bit out of the way for me, Shoebox has become my go-to location for playing in MTG events

Hey everybody! This is Trevor Ursulescu, owner of Monster Hobbies in High River Alberta Canada.



It is so nice to see that Brandon got his store up and running! Brandon is such an awesome guy and he really knows his card games!



I know that opening his store was a rough ride for him, but I am glad to see that he was successful in doing it!



So if anyone is looking to play Pokemon and get some awesome snacks from the Shoebox Kitchen, I will gladly send them from High River up to Shoebox Games!
