Comics at US Cover Prices!

L.A. Mood's is the first London comic store to sell their comics at US Cover prices! The dollar has been so good that 3 weeks ago we went ahead and did it. All new comics and trade paperbacks coming from Diamond Comic Distributors are priced at US cover price regardless of any suggested Canadian cover price!

From the London Free Press, Gord is described "Holding a Wolverine Evolution graphic novel in his hands, it lists for $19.99US and $32.00 Canadian, meaning shoppers can buy it for $20 Canadian at his store"

Of course, our trade paperbacks have been coming down in price for many months, but now you can enjoy the savings on your new issues too! Shop Canadian!, Shop Downtown! Shop L.A. Mood's!

Statue Sale

30% off all in stock
Statues!

November 9 - 25
(Sorry, no holds or layaways)

This will be our only Statue sale before Christmas! At 30% off, there is no need to go to the US for these hard to find items! Thinking of buying these from others on-line? Think again. International shipping is expensive, statues being bulky and heavy, and what if it arrives damaged? Replacements and refunds can take so long. Visit L.A. Mood's, see what you are buying, go home satisfied!

D&D Day, A Success!
Saturday, November 3rd

We had our biggest crowd ever for D&D Day, more arrived after the photos had been taken! This year we didn't have many of the female persuasion but it was good to see so many young folk taking part! We divided it into 2 sessions 11AM and 2PM. We celebrated with snacks, door prizes and all D&D books were on sale!



Thanks to our DM's: Jeff, Paul, Dylan, and Charles! Good job!

Closed October 31st, due to Power Outage!

Downtown London sinks into hole in ground! Aaaaaaaaagh! I am blogging from home to inform all of you that we are closed due to power failure! Egads! Apparently a water main burst at Dundas and Wellington and power is out throughout the downtown core. Here are a few of the signs sighted on our walkabout.


There were a few chuckles as the City of London calls it a special event! Yes, very special, indeed. Remind me to bring up repairing infrastructure as a priority to our City Hall the next time they bring up spending millions of dollars on a performing arts centre!


I remember the winter, a few years ago, when the power went out when the sewer blew up downtown. sheesh. Here are some of the scenes from downtown London. There were cops at all the Richmond Street intersections directing traffic and the buses were totally screwed up. Nobody knew where to catch their bus.


The comics have come in and have been counted, we will be open tomorrow as long as possible even if the power is not back on. Bring cash just in case! We can do credit card (members only) or cash if there is no power but not debit.

Hope things are somewhat back to normal tomorrow, Happy Halloween!

Links to Free Press here, and here, and here if you want to blog with Dan,

or here is the A Channel with video of the water in the sinkhole. ugh.

Wizards has sent us some great goodies, including an incredible prize foil, which will be given to participants, while supplies last.

The tournament will be run in standard sealed format, with no cut to top 8. Prizes will be given to the best finishers, as well as to others who win door prizes.

Once the main event is over, we will host sanctioned drafts for as long as people want to stay and draft. The entry fee for each draft will be ten dollars.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them, or stop by the store and chat with Justin.

See you all then!

Let's talk about the Canadian Dollar!

As many of you know the Canadian Loon is really doing well against the American Buck. Headlines on the news indicate an on par Dollar. However, the reality is never so simple. We have yet to pay this "on par dollar" with Diamond. Lately, however, each week is a lower rate than the last. We have resisted repricing the Canadian suggested retail on the hundreds of comics we receive each week; for the 20 cents you would save, it would cost us more in labour, bags and price stickers, and talk about time consuming! We have continued to lower the prices of our graphic novels and trade paperbacks. We feel we have the best prices in town for these!

But the Canadian dollar is getting stronger each week and we want to pass these savings on to you , so we offer the following:

For members only!
An extra 10% off your membership discount if you pick up your new comics on Wednesdays only, after noon
From now until October 31st.

After that we will review the situation and if the dollar holds steady to par, then we will sell the new comics at the US cover price in Canadian Dollars!!

Ladies, gentlemen, children of all ages!
