Gaming Shops in Berlin?
« on: August 11, 2019, 03:45:10 PM »
Probably asked and answered before but are there any decent gaming/ modelling shops in Berlin? Places that sell model railroad terrain definitely considered too.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio năo tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeăo mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

First and foremost, of course, Battlefield Berlin on Gneisenaustrasse.

https://shop.battlefield-berlin.de/?

An excellent selection of miniatures, games and accessories far beyond the common run of GW and co.

Another favourite of mine, more modelling- and books-oriented, is Berliner Zinnfiguren on Knesebeckstrasse. Just around the corner from Kurfürstendamm and the Zoo.

https://www.zinnfigur.com/index.php?cl=start&lang=1

They've got a fine selection of proper model kits and (mainly historic) miniatures in larger scales (i.e. 54mm and above).

Useful. Thanks Chris. I’m off there for a long weekend in October. While it’s still easy ;)

I lived for 13 years in Berlin and there is definitely no better place than the Battlefield!

I've visited Battlefield Berlin last week while on vacation and I love the shop and the employees were very friendly and helpful.
Totally recommend - will be there each time in Berlin :)

You can see what they have in stock in their web store and the stocks are spot on if a little chaotic at the times (but what you can expect from the wall of Reaper DHL models that are examined by customers (I was browsing for one code for 10 minutes before I found her :)

And Its close to the metro station

Don’t forget to get one of the excellent curry wursts from the Curry 36 at the subway stop Mehringdamm, just a few minutes by foot from Gneisenaustraße!

Battlefield Berlin is great! Thanks for the heads up. Friendly staff and a really impressive collection of minis Picked up some Kromlech Poles and some Crooked Dice figures. Were price and weight not a limit I could have gone nuts in there.

Glad, you’re happy. It was my favorite place to spend cash. And what I found particularly impressive was that even in the internet age they often had minis I hadn’t heard about.
