Hey guys! After numerous requests from people to get this going again, we have decided to do a few game nights this fall. So for all of you who are interested, here is the 2011 game night schedule.

2011 Game Night #1 – Tuesday, October 4th 2011

2011 Game Night #2 – Tuesday, October 18th 2011

2011 Game Night #3 – Tuesday, November 1st 2011

2011 Game Night #4 – Tuesday, November 15th 2011

2011 Game Night #5 – Tuesday, November 29th 2011

Time: 6:30pm – 10:30pm (Extended Store Hours)

Games: We bring a different selection of games every night and also encourage attendees to bring in some of their games that they would like to get played. The is always a wide variety of options.

Food / Drink: We have cold cans of pop and water bottles available for purchase as well as a large selection of assorted candy/gum for those who don’t want to bring their own snacks.

Bring Friends! Please invite friends and tell others about these events. We always love to see new faces and want to develop the size of the gaming community in Ottawa.

One final note: While we want as many people to play the games they want to play as possible, it does mean we may not have either enough interest or players to play certain games. If you come with the intention of playing a specific game, please do not be discouraged if we do not play it this time. We want everyone to have an open mind about trying new games they haven’t played before.

Hope to see you all There!
Also a special thank you to those of you who show up regularly and help others to play games!

This show keeps getting bigger and better each year with an increasingly growing number of attendees and A-list special guests. Look out Anime North because we have got the makings of a future contender here!

The Ultimate Beyblade Champion!

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Well this past Sunday was the final game in the 2010/11 season of Beyblade Tournaments, so we invited all our champions from each game of the season to compete against each other!  Everyone fought valiantly, and I think everyone there had a great time!  A big congrats goes out to our four finalists:  Elias Sakkay, Christopher Oconnor, Samuel Ryan, and the #1 toys on Fire Beyblade Champion Matthew Castrucci, who now has a plaque in his honour mounted here in the store for everyone to see!  Great Job guys, and thanks for coming in and spending time with us here at Toys on Fire!

Now the fun isn’t all over, oh no.  We’ll be announcing more tournaments in June, so don’t worry, but for now we’re just so busy with all the other stuff going on this month. Stuff like our upcoming Tranformers 3 Movie Party, CanGames, Anime North, and the Ottawa Children’s Festival, not to mention the plans we’re working on for this summers’ anniversary event on July 16th (which will include a Beyblade tournament too, as well as the ever awesome guys from the Star Wars 501st Legion, who just might stop in in time to congratulate the winners!)
