  August 5th News!

  August 6, 2026

  It's a hot one outside today—but it's nice and cool deep inside Da' Bunka! The shop was super busy yesterday, and I'm expecting another full house of gamers tonight. Yesterday we had a very unusual customer. A young man from Indonesia stopped in looking for 1/32- and 1/30-scale Napoleonic toy soldiers to complete a diorama he was building for one of his clients. His client, you ask?

  We have another fantastic week planned here at Da' Bunka! The weather has finally improved, and Monday was one of the nicest days of the summer here in Wakefield! After returning from Historicon last Sunday, we spent Monday and Tuesday restocking the store and getting everything back in order. Between our Historicon haul and several in-store deliveries, we've received some great new arrivals. There's plenty more arriving throughout the week, so be sure to stop by and see what's new!

  We have another fantastic week planned here at Da' Bunka! It’s been a hot week here in Wakefield! Last Thursday, I returned from my trip to Europe, which included attending the Plastic Warrior Show on July 4. On Friday, we dove straight into packing and setting up at the Iron Weld Convention at the Sheraton in Wakefield. We all took turns "manning the booth" during the three-day convention. I worked straight through the weekend to catch up in the store and prepare for Historicon in Lancaster, PA. I leave tomorrow for the four-day convention. We have also recently added a bunch of new metal toy soldiers to the website, so scroll down the newsletter to find out more information. Tomorrow, we'll be restocking the shelves with a wide variety of hobby supplies, paints, and other essentials. Be sure to stop by and check out what's new!

  June News #3

  STORE NEWS! Greetings! We have had a busy week at Da' Bunka! Many people took advantage of our in-store sale. We also had a young man from North Carolina visit us three times, purchasing American Revolution W. Britains and scenery to create a large diorama for the 250th anniversary. He was in town with a church youth group, and they plan to display the diorama in their church’s glass cases. The launch of the Games Workshop 11th Edition 40K starter set was a great success! We opened early on Saturday and sold eight sets before the shop officially opened. Our local 40K expert, Spencer Connell, hosted a "Learn the Rules" day and brought some light refreshments for the group. We will be open on July 4th from 10:00 AM and will close around 4:00 PM. The large parade in Wakefield begins at 5:00 PM, and North Avenue will be closed for a few hours.
