Gamers' Paradise

Store Setting

By Randy Paulin


Gamers' Paradise opened on 2 June 2000, and it is indeed a shoestring operation. However the shoestring is a bit sturdier than it looks. I currently stock Old Glory Command Decision, Simtac/Collectair 1/300 aircraft, Figurehead/Hallmark 1/6000 ships, Battlefront 15mm, and a small but growing selection from the Minifigs line. I have dealer agreements with ALL the major miniatures distributors/manufacturers which still offer dealer terms. Sadly several manufacturers no longer offer dealer terms-- they sell exclusively on-line.

I also carry board wargames-- I have over 300 in stock. In addition I have three 4'x6' linkable tables, and a similar number of 30"x50" tables for gamers' use, and a snack bar. I will also be running and/or sponsoring numerous tournaments, campaigns, and leagues of a large number of different games on a regular basis.

I will do special orders, but that misses the point. One of my goals for Gamers' Paradise is to provide the widest possible selection of historical miniatures in stock at the best prices consistent with staying in business, but it's not my main goal. The name for my shop was carefully chosen.

Gamers' Paradise is intended to provide a gathering place for gamers of all kinds to play games, talk games and generally hang out and have fun. I have every intention of continuing to expand my miniatures offerings, and I DO call Gamers' Paradise a historical miniatures shop--and a whole lot more! So if you're ever in Pullman I hope you'll stop and see for yourself-maybe even get into a game.

My summer hours are W/Th/Sun noon-6, and F/Sat noon-10. My website (see below) includes photos of the store and an events calendar. Feel free to give me a call anytime on the toll-free line if you have questions about Gamers' Paradise
