Hobby Herd

Meet Kevin

Kevin is a Great Pyrenees that has a passion for eating, sitting, and laying down. He loves meeting new people, but don’t be surprised if he suddenly sits. Sitting makes his brain cell work faster!

…and his Emporium

Kevin’s Emporium is run by his (human) business partners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our website is still under construction, but we will launch in April 2026. Kevin will stock a range of products related to tabletop war games, hobby supplies, and general nerdery. You will be able to find Kevin’s wares on this website, Shopify, and eBay. Please note that some of our product lines may not be sold on all outlets.

Yes, there are a lot of online hobby retailers already fighting for your hard earned dollar. So, why did Kevin throw his collar into the ring? Here are a few things that separate Kevin from the pack.

Lower overhead = lower prices

Kevin’s (human) business partner has two degrees in business economics and a background in logistics for the United States Air Force. The Emporium is built from the ground up to minimize our internal costs. Lower internal costs mean we can offer more competitive prices. Here are a couple of ways we do this.

  • No debt - Our business is 100% self funded.

  • Smarter inventory control - We are purchasing more inventory of fewer product lines than other outlets similar to our size. For example, 10 models from a certain brand vs 25.

Kevin hates free shipping - and so should you!

Free Shipping isn’t free. Businesses that offer free shipping embed the cost into each item to some degree. In the end, this artificially raises the price you pay for online purchases the closer you live to a distribution center.

Instead, Kevin offers volume discounts the more you purchase from the Emporium. Buy enough and these volume discounts can exceed your shipping costs!

This keeps Kevin’s pricing fairer for all customers. You are always getting the best price Kevin can offer, regardless of where you live.
