The 30th anniversary of Pokemon is on Wednesday, Sept 16th! We remember being in the second grade and hearing about Pokemon for the first time. Teachers banned it. We had underground trading clubs. We did trades like the KBG had intel drops. It was all very hush-hush.

✨To celebrate, BC Hobbies is having a 🎉DISCOUNT SALE EVENT🎉 on 30th Anniversary ETBs! Unheard of, we know. Check the pictures for details, but it involves lining up first thing in the morning. We're limiting 1 ETB per household because everyone in line deserves the discount, not just Nurse Joy and her 25 sisters.

The first person in line gets 50% off an ETB, the second person gets 49%, the third gets 48%, etc. The first 50 people in line get a percentage off their anniversary ETBs. Best of luck, and remember: play nice, play fair! Arceus it watching.

We have miniatures and paints for communal use. You can take home your miniature when you're done. This is in the spirit of Build Night - where fun and community are the focus, as well as gaining a basic understanding of your chosen hobbies... but with FRIENDS!
