The story

From Flights of Fantasy to Flights 2.

Over thirty years of cards and games in Albany, kept going by a long-time employee.

  1. 1993

    Flights of Fantasy opens

    A science-fiction and fantasy bookstore opens in Albany, first on Ontario St.

  2. Early on

    The games move in

    Magic: The Gathering, D&D and Warhammer join the science fiction on the shelves.

  3. 2021

    Flights 2

    The owner retires during the pandemic. Dave Sheedy, a long-time employee, takes over with his partner, and the shop reopens as Flights 2 at 381 Sand Creek Rd.

  4. Today

    Cards, RC, and a cat

    Magic from Alpha to this week, Pokémon, D&D, a full RC shop with a repair bench, four game nights a week, and BobToo at the door.

The repair bench: hands working on an RC crawler, parts drawers behind.

Behind the counter

Dave and the team.

Dave Sheedy worked at Flights of Fantasy for years. When the owner retired, he took the shop over with his partner and reopened it as Flights 2 in 2021.

He also has 30+ years of RC behind him, and the repair bench on the RC side is where that shows.

“The owner has knowledgeable staff very good selection and reasonable prices.”

Shop cat

Meet BobToo.

A big grey, long-haired Maine Coon, and the most regular regular in the shop. The shop made him his own card, and he comes with one house rule, taped by the door.
