On November 3, 2017 Starbase Columbus opened the doors at its new location at Eastland Mall in Columbus, OH.  The store, which had been located near Westerville, OH for 25 years, is now offering an expanded line of Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who and other Sci-Fi shows.  The expanded space also offers a place for local Star Trek clubs and gaming groups to meet.

Big Changes in 2016

As of May 1, 2016 Starbase Columbus was purchased by "The Federation" a 501 (c) 3 charity organization co-founded by Russ Haslage and Gene Roddenberry, after former owner, BJ Mitias announced her retirement.  Ms. Mitias opened this iconic Sci-Fi Shop just south of Westerville, OH in November of 1992.  It has endured to the present day, when most brick and mortar stores have gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Blast from the Past

We recently ran across this photo circa 2004 - 2005 when the Knight made entirely of Lego blocks was on display in our store for several months.  We had entered a contest at the Toy Fair in NYC and won.  Just another little piece of Star Base history.

2014 Geek Street

In late summer of 2014 Bills Bricks and Toys merged with Star Base Columbus thus creating a fun hybrid Star Trek- Sci-fi and Lego store!  Moore comics moved into the former Bills Bricks location in the red building adjacent to Star Base.  The tiny plaza where these businesses reside in Del Park Square has recently been dubbed Geek Street.  On Saturday afternoons Moore Comics holds HEROCLIX gaming at their former location in the House on the Hill, now known as Quark's.  This facility provides gaming space as well as a meeting place for local Star Trek and Science Fiction clubs. 

So one can spend an entire Saturday perusing comic books, checking out the new Star Trek and Sci-Fi items, playing a game of HeroClix and attending meetings and activities sponsored by local clubs.  All are encouraged to come and check it out and be prepared for a day of AWESOME FUN!

2010

In 2010 Star Base held a Rockin Beach Bash luau party as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  All had a great time while supporting a worthy cause.
