My good friend, Tom from Texas, is going to fulfill a life-long dream of opening a mega hobby shop/wargaming store this coming Black Friday. Long in the making (no thanks to Covid-19!) but well worth the wait! Located on the northwest corner of Woodward Avenue and Long Lake, Bastion Games will bring a top-flight hobby store to northwest Metro Detroit. The shop will stock Games Workshop, Star Wars (all varieties) Reaper, and Dungeons and Dragons as well as a host of other product-lines. The address is 43239 Woodward Ave., Bloomfield Hills MI 48302. The phone number is 248 499 6888 and the website is Bastion Gaming
A stand-out feature is the availability of complete, fully painted armies that are available for sale. This shop also features a massive gaming hall and three smaller private rooms for specific themed games. Gamers wishing to try out new rules or armies can contact the store about having a game set up to play with their friends. Access to the store's large selection of ready-painted armies and extensive terrain collection makes it possible to run that campaign or mega-game that always seemed impossible.
I got a chance to take a sneak-peek as they were putting the final touches on. Let's take a look!
The Lobby
Here you will find the Featured Game, a display of the terrain and troops that will be used in the game that all will be invited to join in. These games will change on a regular basis and will feature the very best of miniatures and terrain.
The Sales Floor
Nearly a thousand square feet dedicated top bringing you the games and miniatures that you seek. Role-playing, Fantasy, Historical, Star Wars, 40K, Warhammer and deck-building card games will all be available.
Where is the bar? The store in Amsterdam had a bar.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! I wish him tremendous success.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really super. I wish it were opening 6 months from now, though. Does he plan to do any mail order/online sales as well?
ReplyDeleteYes, The intention is to offer most major lines via mail order as well as the painted minis/armies
DeleteGood, I think that's wise; I don't see how one could survive with just in person sales.
