About Us
A family run hobby store built around gaming, creativity, collecting and quality family time.
Our Story
How It Started
This journey started as an idea inspired by the hobbies and interests our family enjoys together.
We're a family of four—a husband, wife, son and daughter—who share a love of collecting, building, gaming and discovering new ways to spend quality time together. From opening Trading Card packs and building LEGO sets to gathering around a Board Game table, some of our favourite memories have been created through hobbies.
As parents, we know how important it is to find activities that bring people together, encourage creativity and create lasting memories. We wanted to build a business that reflects those values while sharing our passion for the hobbies we love.
That's how The Engineer Dad was born.
What We Believe
We believe hobbies are about more than just products.
A Trading Card collection tells a story.
A Board Game creates opportunities to laugh, learn and spend time together.
A LEGO set can inspire creativity, problem-solving and imagination.
Whether you're a collector searching for your next great addition, a parent looking for a new family game, or someone starting a new hobby, we want The Engineer Dad to be a place where everyone feels welcome.
