@@BillsWargameWorld My dad and I took a trip to Gettysburg the other year and visited BOTH of those places. They are both great stores. Here in NoVA there are a couple of places that sell Warhammer and Warlord but nothing I would call a Hobby Store, or like this...may need to do a road trip.
Very true. They are a disappearing breed. Here in Toronto they are vanishing like Bison on the prairie. Hang on to them and keep them close to your heart's.
Great store! All of the hobby stores like this in my area of NJ are gone now. I loved perusing the the old stores when they were here and ALWAYS walked out with something. Thanks for the tour Bill. Be well
I live in Pittsburgh and it kills me that the best game store in western PA is in Ligonier! Good on him though. His store is a gem and such a throwback to what you'd find 30 years ago.
Oh god, I could spend hours in that shop going through the stock... That stock of vintage hex and counter games... My wallet is happy there's an ocean between it and the shop :-)
Have always admired Norm's painted figures at the HMGS East conventions (and purchased a few). Fantastic looking store. Thanks for that great look-see video. I gotta visit there some day!
I have a shop up the road from me about a 35 minuet walk from my house, it sell several brands of model kits and soldiers. I would love to go to this store.
Nice little video. You showed that he had a lot of varied stock, and highlighted some beautifully painted items. There will always be people who complain that you didn't focus on certain things enough, but honestly despite how small the store is you could have spent half an hour in there and not covered everything. Heck you could have spent half an hour just focusing on the painted items. That is the kind of place where you either go into knowing exactly what you are looking for, or spend an hour or so checking everything out and poking in all the corners.
I just picked up The Forts of Colonial North America from osprey includes Fort Frederic,Fort Ligonier, Fort Bedford, Fort Pitt,Fort Necessity, Fort Augusta and others
Have never been there but suspect its the Lads behind the Counter that make the place. You'd start talking about paint or figures and before long you are swapping stories and the afternoon has just gone.
I love the shop. But I haven't visited, let alone bought something. Your video will prompt me to do both. And I'm thinking that if I mention your name, Bill, I'll get a 10% discount.
Ligioner is on the very very far outskirts of the Pittsburgh area, and is kind of a destination for weekend trips/camping etc for lots of Pittsburghers. A great little town
Why are the most well stocked hobby stores in the most remote places ? I would kill for shop like this in downtown Philly. Most places in big cities end up being Magic card /board game shops with a few other products added.
Wow! What a throwback to the golden era of gaming!
This is the hobby shop of my childhood --you just don't see these anymore.
this and the Gettysburg miniature shop and tommy Gilberts in Gettysburg

@@BillsWargameWorldWOW! Nothing and I mean nothing like that in the Pacific NW, at least not anymore. 😢
@@khyronkravshera7774sadly blue states are over flowing with woke people who thing this stuff is to white and masculine.
Grew up vising Norm's shop, great guy always been a saint and a friend.
Stores like these bring back so many wonderful memories. Thank you for uploading this and shoutout to the wonderful Toy Soldier Gallery.

Thanks for the tour Bill.
Be well
i’m up in Erie… looks like i’ll definitely be making a day trip once the miniature fund is replenished! thanks for sharing
This is a kind of store that if I died and gone to heaven this is it. All it needs is a section to play games.
Nice Store.
Thx for posting.
Excellent, a store like the good old days. Bravo sir. cheers

What an amazing shop! I would love to visit and shop.
Like a dream to a hobbyist like myself.
Great town, great shop and great guy!

This is an amazing shop. My dad actually grew up near New Florence and went to Laurel Valley HS. Not far away.
Wow. Looks like a Grognard's paradise in there.
Gotta make a trip there someday.
Great store and a great owner. I grew up not far from Ligonier and try to make it here about once a year.
What a gem of a store, thank you for sharing!!
what a terrific store..........has it all.
Great video of a really cool store
Love shopping here and talking with Norm. So much to see and Norm and his wife are great to get painting tips from too!
Amazing store! I hope to be able to visit some day.
1/72 soldier goodness. Amazing stuff that looks good for filling out an army.
Have always admired Norm's painted figures at the HMGS East conventions (and purchased a few). Fantastic looking store. Thanks for that great look-see video. I gotta visit there some day!
Wow! Finally! A place to visit in Ligonier! Next time I visit relatives there I will stop in!
GREAT love to have a store like that in uk
I have a shop up the road from me about a 35 minuet walk from my house, it sell several brands of model kits and soldiers. I would love to go to this store.
Awesome store!!!!!! Just like the good old days.
Great video! Wish I could have made the trip but you guys did like 700-800 miles - hard for me to make that! Thanks again!

Great store
oh hey you were in my town glad that shop go the attention it deserved
Awesome shop! Love it.
What an amazing store
Looks like a road trip
man what a cool store
Really cool.
wow, what a store!
I often make the trip out from Pittsburgh on the weekends just to hit this place up.
great vid, in a great shop ,cheers
I'm movin' to PA!
It's so hard to find a store with such eclectic offerings. Most newer game stores sell GW stuff exclusively, which is a real shame.
I just picked up The Forts of Colonial North America from osprey includes Fort Frederic,Fort Ligonier, Fort Bedford, Fort Pitt,Fort Necessity, Fort Augusta and others
You hear that, that is my C card crying if i lived in PA...
Never seen so much flames of war in one US shop.
Reminds me of Frank’s Trains and Hobbies in Oldsmar, FLA.
Пещера с сокровищами!!🎉

awesome indeed.
Theres a store like this in gettysburg pa as well
Yes and I make a video of it each month
I’ve been here. Last of its kind.
@@BillHarpster awesome store
Dammit I am in Delaware and I feel a road trip coming.
magnificent
Wow! Im 52 and you can't find this anymore out west. Do you have an online?
My kind of store!
Ligonier PA has a population of around 2000. How on earth are there enough hobbyists and gamers to keep this store in business??
They do
@@BillsWargameWorld It looks like a great store that I'd visit every day, I just don't see where the customers come from.
Feck it ! I was born in the wrong country 😂😂😂
He's really in a Decent Location. Lots of people travel to and visit Fort Necessity and Braddock 's Grave.
Ligioner is on the very very far outskirts of the Pittsburgh area, and is kind of a destination for weekend trips/camping etc for lots of Pittsburghers. A great little town
No way I live in Ligonier Pensilvania I went there I that is crazy
Wow!!!!!!!!
Any painted western figures? Any customers that are selling figures they have painted?
Norm can answer
So weird seeing a video about this little shop
You have obviously not made a stop at "The Hobbit" on Yadkin Blvd in Fayetteville, N.C.. 😁
Why are the most well stocked hobby stores in the most remote places ? I would kill for shop like this in downtown Philly. Most places in big cities end up being Magic card /board game shops with a few other products added.
do they sell online to other states???
I think he does mail order
Next Time I go back to Fort Necessity you bet I'm stopping here.
Does he stock 10mm painted civil war figures?
@@williamhempsteadjr. I do not know you can call him
@@BillsWargameWorld thank you I will
I live here pls contact with me I’m not kidding the ligonier cremery has 5 chocolates butter pecan and all kinds of flavors like diamond vanilla
address would be great
It is on the video bussines Card
Dude. You’re panning way too fast. Stop, take an item out and show it to the camera.
@@shanesauve1721 so sorry I made this video 8 months ago I will try better
I’m not kidding i will tell you the ligonier Cremery
❤😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😮😮😅😅
