TWO things!

[pyat]

First, I said in my previous entry that Hamilton Hobby Specialties was closing after 40 years. I was wrong. They're closing after 61 years. (Gosh.)

Second... the missing RPG stuff?

THEY BROUGHT IT OUT. THE VAULTS WERE OPENED!

It was in storage all this time! I was there! I saw it! Treasures fine and rare! Timeship modules! Star Frontiers adventures! Stuff for Chill! 2nd edition Gamma World GM screens! A bin full of Ral Partha figs!

I didn't see anything newer than 1988. Everything is shrinkwrapped and pristine. All books are $10, flat, no matter the cover price. Minis are $5 a pack, or $20 for 5 packs. The one snag - there don't appear to be any core rulesets left, or at least none are currently on display.


*runs around* I bought.. I bought things! I don't even know what they are!

Hamilton Hobby Specialities! 236 Kenilworth Ave North! Apparently, they will continue bring up old stock over the next few weeks until the building is sold.

I for one will be going back every Saturday.

Gamma World and Star Frontiers??? Duuuuuude.......

Last I recall, Star Frontiers actually had some decent mechanics. Gamma World, not so much, though I always thought the mutant cyborg riding wolverine on the cover was kinda cool.

Sounds like 3rd ed, which had very different mechanices from any other variation of the game, IIRC. And yes, an awesome cover.
