  • New Dragon Club Cards!!

We have started three new club discount cards, one each for Magic, Games Workshop and Board Game Pub!

For the Magic Club Card you can earn stamps when you come to the store for Thursday Night Magic. It takes three Thursdays to activate your card and after that for every four Thursdays you play you get a one time purchase of boosters, however many you want, at $4 each tax included instead of $4.50! Also, if you come out to play five in store tournaments between each new Magic set you can get and extra 5% off your next booster box purchase. Currently we sell booster boxes for 15% off the regular pack price so that will be a box at 20% off!

The Games Workshop card is similar, for playing four games in store each month you will get 15% off your next purchase. This discount is only available once a month, but for every six games you play in store you will get your next GW Tournament entry for $15.

Lastly, for all you board gamers, each time you come out for a Board Game Pub at Frank and Stein's you can get a stamp good for 10% off your next board or card game purchase (excluding Magic and Games Workshop products). This discount is not cumulative but can be used on a purchase of more than one item.

We will keep all the cards in the store and bring them to Board Game Pub with us. So come in and ask staff for your new card and start saving!

SUBSCRIPTION LISTS:

IMMEDIATE POLICY CHANGE:
The Dragon has changed it's subscription policy. Please note that subscribers MUST contact the Dragon EVERY month to maintain their sub list. If we do not hear from you at least once a month we will stop your subscriptions and your books will be shelved the following month.

If you have a change in phone number or address you MUST CONTACT US to let us know. If you do not have an active phone number we will come to the conclusion that you have moved and no longer want your comics. They will be shelved, and all of your subscriptions will be stopped.

You can contact us by email to orders@thedragonweb.com, by phone at 519-763-5544 or in person. If you will be away for longer than a month's time just let us know and we will mark your file accordingly.

We appreciate your cooperation and hope these changes will foster a more active role for all subscribers in regards to their comic lists.

We're having a sale on GW stock!

This sale is indefinite until we run out of the things on sale!!
