Welcome to the Portal

For those of you not familiar with The Portal, we are a local gaming store located in Bethlehem. Established in 2004 by my partners and I, all of which have been die-hard gamers for years. The Portal is a gaming store by gamers for gamers.

Over the next few months The Portal will be bringing you a fresh new look to our web site, forums, lots of events and more web content. A complete restock of Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Magic the Gathering, Warmachine and Hordes provides an excellent selection for our customers to choose from and a reason for all gamers in the Lehigh Valley to check us out for the first time. A heartfelt thanks goes out to all our customers who have been with us from the beginning and the many who have joined us since. Thanks to all of you for nearly four years of business. Just remember one thing...

When it comes to games,
we don't play around!

New Hours

The change to our summer hours has been such a success that The Portal will keep its extended hours for the upcomming winter season. All our weekday hours (Monday-Thrusday) will remain extended to 9pm. Check the Hours menu on the left to see our new schedule and our Holiday closings.

New Forums

Our forums have been received very well, so well in fact that two additional ones have been added. A forum dedicated solely to Magic: the Gathering, complimenting our new pre-release events. Another more general forum to cover all other CCGs has also been added. If you have a topic or interest that would merit its own forum please send me an e-mail with your request to The Crew.

Graphic Novels & Trade Paperbacks

Don't forget we have the best deals on Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks in the Lehigh Vally. All of our trades and graphic novels are always 20% off the cover price. Once again, this is not a sale, simply the best deal around.

Urza's Saga Draft

Recently, through a stroke of luck, The Portal has come across some sealed boxes of Urza's Saga. To share the wealth with our patrons we will be holding a Urza's Saga FNM Draft on Friday August 28. What will you pull during the draft?

Fantasy 'Ard Boyz

After a great success with our 40K 'Ard Boyz Tournament, The Portal will be proudly hosting its first Fantasy 'Ard Boyz Tournament. Please note due to scheduling conflicts we will not be holding this event at the Nancy Run Fire Company. The top three (3) players from this event go on to the semi-finals. Check out our forums and Games-Workshop for more details on this event.

Planechase Launch Party

Planechase, the newest Wizards of the Coast product, will be introduced on Friday September 4. The Portal will be bringing you the new Planechase starter deck as part of our Friday Night Magic event. Check out our FNM page for more details.

Zendikar Game Day

Don't miss Zendikar Game Day the first time that this newest set will be playable in Standard format. Come celebrate this occasion with The Portal on Saturday October 31 at 1pm. In addition Wizards will be providing promo foil cards to those in attendance and those who are victorious.

More Power 9

Does anyone ever get sick of the Power 9, we don't. The Portal has acquired Mox Pearl, so we are offering this up as a prize on November 29th the winner of our Legacy Tournament. Join us once again at the Nancy Run Fire Company for food, prizes, and yes, a Mox Pearl.

MEPACON FALL 09

That time of year is fast upon us. Before you take your turkey for Thanksgiving, be sure to pay a visit to the boys at MEPACON FALL 09. Coming in November.
