I found Nexus Games almost completely by accident. We were in Gresham, early for a customer visit, and while we were heading to a coffee shop, I used my iPhone to find nearby stores, and Nexus popped up.
Nexus is a pretty neat little store. Their stock, and shelving area is pretty tiny, but they have dedicated rooms in the back for RPGs and War Games, and tables up front of card games and what not. They had a great selection of Magic singles, and their prices were a lot cheaper than what I found in other places. The guy who owns the collection was in the shop, and was very helpful.
The owner is an older fellow, and a bit gruff at first. But when we started talking D&D, he was very helpful; I was traveling with a colleague who hadn't played D&D in years, and he and the shop owner spoke for a while, talking about how the new rules work, how to get his kids interested in gaming, and some general gaming tips, etc.
While their stock wasn't very large, they had a little bit of everything, including lots of RPG rule books, paints and other supplies for miniatures, and all the usual suspects (GW, PP3, FoW), plus several board games. They also stocked a few specialty items - like unusual bases for miniatures, and had a small supply of Wings of War miniatures as cards.
For me, the Magic single selection and pricing is the main reason to visit this store if you're traveling through the area. It's definitely built to cater to local gamers, and give them a great place to play RPGs and such, but if you're passing through, and need to find a play-set of Magic cards, Nexus seems to have just about everything at very competitive prices.
