Along with the hockey cards I also ordered a box of Scourgewar cards from the World of Warcraft trading card game. It’s similar to Magic: the Gathering but I haven’t had a chance to play it so far. The big draw for these cards are the loot cards that you can find in [...]

Music Week in Yarmouth

Despite all the hubbub over the event, and the down town “planners” requesting that we stay open longer than normal hours in order to accommodate all the extra people who would surely be in town, we noticed hardly any extra business during the music week festivities. I’m sure the restaurants and hotels did much [...]

The 10th Anniversary Sale started just a few days ago.. and we only had ads put up on CJLS since we are pretty much your friendly neighbourhood video/games/computer/accessories store.
