Valhalla Games & Hobbies has been in existence as a retail store in Perth, Western Australia, since early 1991. Its beginnings were back in 1976, though, under the name "Simulations" (see History).
We have an amazing array of goods, current and not, new and secondhand, and people browse for hours here. We're not a virtual shop operating out of a cupboard somewhere, but a real place (see Photos)! If you're ever in Perth, Western Australia, come visit us!!
If you can't visit our real shop personally, we intend that you'll find this a great website to keep on visiting and to recommend to everyone you know! Word-of-mouth has always been our best advertising, and the site will be a great place to shop. After a few hiccups, we're expecting to do regular updates of information in future, Visit often!!
Our website isn't going to be a magnificent glossy-brochure presentation, it will be mainly text, with some pics when required. While it would be "nice" to have lots of pics, they take up space, they take time to download. We hope details and being able to find things easily are more important to you. Any constructive suggestions are welcome.
On prices, we are in Australia, in the remote west at that, so remember that prices can vary from one country to another and, in a country this size, from one part of the country to another. Please don't expect us to "match prices" with every other retailer in the world - we just have to price goods on whatever prices are right here.
We always HAVE done mail order anywhere (see How to Order) and, although our ISP doesn't yet provide "shopping cart" facilities, ordering procedure isn't difficult. If you like the look of us and what we have to offer, recommend us to everyone you know with any interest of any or all the goods we carry (and don't forget to also tell those people you may know who don't have 'Net access just what we have), and do become one of our members with its HUGE advantages (see Membership).
We do take orders for various old and collectible items.
A list featuring some recently arrived products and other items of interest is available; this will be updated as often as possible.
We have added a list of useful links (see Links) to online gaming resources and companies involved in the gaming industry (across many genres). Online you can find everything from free gaming materials available for download, gaming accessories (and systems) developed by enthusiasts, and forums for the discussion of games, modelling, and miniatures (such as mailing lists and usenet 'newsgroups'). Please mention our site on these!
We intend to arrange some inventory lists so they can be searched through easily (searchable CGI data-base coming soon !).
If you're a supplier (or potential supplier) to us, make sure you keep us up-to-date with goods available and expected dates for new releases.
Contact us if you have anything to sell!
Most of the types of goods we sell we also buy from our customers (usually for Valhalla Credits for use here rather than cash, no restrictions on what you spend the Credit). We have a lot of old difficult-to-get items and, if you're looking for that sort of thing in the lines of goods we have, you can let us know and we will advise you when it comes in.
