Large selection. Pleasant Staff, Lots of Game tables.

Sci-Fi City has non-wargame minis (fantasy and/or space) as their main product inventory, and also carries board wargames, minis wargames, Eurogames, tabletop RPGs, collectible card games, general game accessories (dice, game mats, markers, etc), minis accessories (terrain, paint, etc), non-game hobby merchandise (RC vehicles, crafts, puzzles, etc) and a ton of comics and comic-related merchandise.
