Wandering Adventures

Walking into a game store for the first time can feel a little intimidating. There are walls of products you might not recognize, people mid-game at the tables, and a whole vocabulary you haven't learned yet. I get it. So here's what to expect when you come visit us in Woodbridge.What we carryWe're a full hobby and tabletop gaming store. On the card side, that means Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Flesh and Blood, Riftbound, and the Gundam Card Game, both sealed product and singles. On the miniatures side, we carry Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team and Blood Bowl, plus Gundam Assemble. We also stock paints, brushes and hobby supplies, D&D books, dice, and accessories like sleeves and deck boxes.You don't need to know anythingSeriously. Half of the people who walk through our door are brand new to the hobby, or shopping for someone who isn't. Ask us anything. We'd much rather spend five minutes helping you pick the right starter product than have you guess.Events every weekThe best way to get into any game is to play it with other people. We run organized play every week, including Pokémon Weekly Play, Riftbound Nexus Nights, Gundam Assemble nights and Warhammer events. Check our events calendar to see what's on and when.Painting advice from someone who's been thereI've been painting miniatures for 20 years, and I'm always happy to talk paint. If you're stuck on a colour scheme, not sure which primer to use, or just starting out, bring your questions to the counter.Shop online, pick up in storeEverything on our website can be picked up in store with local pickup, or shipped across Canada.Visit usWandering Adventures is located at 7766 Martin Grove Road, Unit 5, in Woodbridge, Vaughan. We're open Monday to Friday 12pm to 8pm, Saturday 11am to 6pm, and Sunday 11am to 4pm. Come say hi.

Every December, the same thing happens at the counter. Someone walks in, looks around at the walls of cards, paints and miniatures, and says "my son/daughter/husband/friend is into this stuff, and I have no idea what to buy." If that's you, don't worry. You're in the right place, and this guide will make it easy.For the Pokémon fanBooster packs and Elite Trainer Boxes are the safe bet, and this year the 30th anniversary product makes it an especially good time to gift Pokémon. If they already play, a pack of Dragon Shield sleeves and a deck box are the gifts players actually use every week. If they're new, consider pairing a gift with a trip to one of our Pokémon Weekly Play nights. Entry includes product, and it's the best way for a new player to learn.For the Warhammer playerThe golden rule: don't guess at a new army. Ask what they already collect, then buy a box that adds to it. If you can't find out, faction dice and a White Dwarf issue are great stocking stuffers that every Warhammer player appreciates. Paints and tools are also a guaranteed win, which brings us to...For the miniature painterI've been painting miniatures for 20 years, and I can tell you nobody ever has enough paint. A paint set is a great starting point for a beginner. For someone who already paints, quality brushes, a good set of clippers, hobby glue, or basing supplies are things they'll reach for every single session. We carry Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter and AK Interactive, so tell us what they use and we'll help you pick.For the D&D and RPG playerDice are the classic RPG gift, and every player wants another set. We stock Chessex and more. Sourcebooks are the bigger gift, and with D&D: World of Warcraft on the way, this is a fun year to be an RPG fan.When you really don't knowGet a gift card. Seriously. Gamers know exactly what they want, and a gift card lets them pick it out themselves. You can grab one in store or online.Shop local this holiday seasonWandering Adventures is located at 7766 Martin Grove Road, Unit 5, in Woodbridge, Vaughan. Our staff are happy to help you find the right gift, and if you're shopping online, we ship across Canada and offer local pickup. Keep an eye on our Black Friday sale too, because it's the best time of year to stock up.

Gundam Assemble: Bandai's New Miniatures Game Lands This Fall For years, Gunpla builders have finished a kit, set it on a shelf, and wished there was more to do with it. Gundam Assemble is Bandai's answer. It is a brand new competitive miniatures game that takes the mobile suits you love, shrinks them to roughly 5 cm, and sends them into fast, tactical tabletop battles. Launching in October 2026, it is one of the most exciting tabletop debuts of the year. Here is the pitch. You assemble and paint small-scale Gunpla-style miniatures, then command them in squad-based combat across a board full of terrain. Games start at a minimum of 3 units per side and scale up from there, and the rules are built for short, decisive matches rather than all-day affairs. Every unit has its own stats and abilities drawn from its role in the Mobile Suit Gundam series, so a Barbatos plays nothing like a Zaku. What makes this launch special is how many hobbies it satisfies at once. If you love building and painting, these are proper multi-part kits with Bandai's famous engineering behind them, so the assembly is a joy on its own. If you love strategy, the squad and terrain systems reward smart positioning and planning. And if you are already deep in Gundam through the card game, the miniatures even double as 3D tokens for the Gundam Card Game, so the two hobbies feed each other. There is also a real cost advantage worth naming. Compared to many established miniatures games, Gundam Assemble is a gentle place to start. The Starter Set gives two players everything needed to begin, while the Deluxe Set steps up to larger, story-driven scenarios with a bigger roster of unpainted miniatures for players who want the full experience out of the gate. Bandai plans a steady stream of expansions after launch, so the game will keep growing. With 20 years of painting behind our counter, this is exactly the kind of release we love, and we are planning organized play so you have opponents from day one. Come build a squad, get some paint on it, and put those mobile suits to work.
