Hope this is the right area to post this.
So going to be in Irving, Ca in April for a wedding and wanted to see what kind of gaming stores are in the area while there?
Mainly interested in WarmaHordes, RPGs, and board games.
We will be right off of University Dr. and Ridgeline Dr.

Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove is your best bet for non GW gaming in Orange County.

Nuff said.
Your wallet will hate you.
Though don't expect any real gaming to be going on. For such a great selection, they are sorely lacking for table space.

If you don't mind a drive, GMI games in Riverside is the best place to play at down here.

He'd miss the wedding. And the flight home. And when he finally got to the store, they'd be closed.

I never said they were a convenient option, but they are very much the best store to play in.

Thanks for the suggestions. Brookhurst is probably going to be my best bet and just fine with not playing since I won't be taking that stuff with me.
I read the reviews for the place online and it sounds promising.

Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove.
Los Angeles Battle Bunker in Westminster.
The Realm in Brea.
Mercenary Market in Costa Mesa
If you get more time, there's Pegasus Hobbies in Ontario, Game Empire in Pasadena, and GMI Games in Riverside. These would definitely be a stretch. Most, if not all of these should have websites for you to check out.

Brookhurst is in Garden Grove, the Bunker is closing tomorrow, and Brea is in L.A.

Sorry about that, I don't know why Gardena came out when I meant Garden Grove. I'm not sure what you mean about the Battle Bunker closing tomorrow, since they have a posted tournament this weekend, and he'll be visiting in April. Brea, not La Brea, is just northeast of Fullerton, on the northern tip of Orange County.

I like game empire in Pasadena, Its a great place, has gak loads of tables.
Its a bit far though, so why dont you just go get leathered in the totally awesome British pub in Fullerton instead? (Ye Olde Ship!)

Yes, but it will only be closing for three days, according to the article posted in the News and Rumors section.
Someone has posted up a place called Mercinary Market in Costa Mesa, as well.
Edited my earlier post.

Unless you call a one man store a battle bunker, it is closing forever.
