When did you first find it?  How much did you buy from it?  What kinds of stories do you have about browsing it?

I remember that it was REALLY big into pushing Magic: The Gathering and had a deal that was like 2 starter packs and 2 boosters for nearly half off if I'm remembering correctly.  My buddy and I did that one.

I also remember they were really into WEG products, particularly the Front Tank Leader games.

Wow!  I thought it was a national treasure of the early days for folks who didn't have access to FLGS'!

Apparently not!

I had a by-mail catalog that I bought minis from. Might have been it.
Board games, I had to see to buy usually.

They used to do a bit of everything.  Minis from GW ( back before GW decided they hated their customers), Reaper, Citadel, etc. all with full page pictures.  RPGs, Card games, and Wargames.  They were based out of the ABQ in New Mexico.

Don't remember any of those companies in it. I know they had Ral Partha,
but I wasn't interested in paying those prices. Bought some cheap medievals
from an unknown (may have been citadel - name sounds familiar; or maybe that
was the name of the catalog).

They had some non-minis stuff, but I could order more from my local store.
They didn't carry SPI - the only thing I had trouble getting near me.
