RPG Stores in Anaheim, CA

[plop101]

Well, not to be out done by Secret Agents' real world traveling, on Tuesday I will be journeying from LA (Lower Arkansas) to Anaheim, California, for the purpose of worshiping at the TEMPLE OF THE MOUSE (aka Disneyland), and engaging in good old fashion American consumerism. ALL HAIL THE GODS OF SHOPPING!

I too, seek RPG Stores that sell Traveller materials. I see on the web that WOTC and Games Workshop have stores at something called "The Block at Orange." I don't suppose they might have Traveller stuff too? I also saw something called "Galacitic Archives," which at least sounds promising; anyone know if they have any Traveller stuff? If anyone out that way could give me any ideas about places to go with in reasonable driving distance from the Mouse Temple, I would be most appreciative.

The WOTC and GW stores at The Block are both crap. The former used to have a little Traveller stuff (a few GT books and one or two of the FFE reprints) but last time I went in there they seemed to have gutted their rpg section completely and were only selling boardgames and CCGs.

But there's a really great game/hobby store in Anaheim called Brookhurst Hobbies. It's on the corner of Brookhurst and Chapman, about 5 minutes by car from The Block, maybe 10 minutes from Mouseland. I'll try to look up the exact address and phone # for you. It's a great old-school store with tons of minis (and not just the GW crap everybody carries), rpgs, board/wargames, resin models, books and magazines, and a separate room of game-tables. I don't live very close by (in Hollywood, about an hour's drive away) but I still try and go there once or twice a year to pay homage.

OK, I found their website http://www.brookhursthobbies.com/ which includes address, phone & fax numbers, and even a map with directions!

Thanks T.Foster! I'm packing for the trip right now.

I've been buzzing the GURPS retailers site but the Brookhurst place seems to be the closest for me while I'm there.
