I remember a place called JB's in Mechanicsburg (just outside Harrisburg) that had a pretty good general run of supplies. If you can get there, there's a nice shop in Gettysberg that specializes in figures (mostly Civil War, but a good number of others as well) that were well priced. HTH,

Will you be passing through Milton, PA?

It is *THE* place for figures/miniatures. And Chuck has one of the finest collections of finished pieces, you will ever see. They are from the finest artists in the world, and many are one-of-a-kind originals.

Just bring along someone armed. The neighbourhood's gone downhill. :(

There used to be an Allied Hobby in the Harrisburg East mall but I haven't been there in a long time so my info is probably out of date. It's really almost a desert around here for shops unless you're in to model railroad stuff.
