Wants to sell the stuff and get you out rather than being interested in his customers as some shop owners are. However, he does sell what we wanted, so this is where we went when hubby wanted to buy first of all a team Losey Micro car, and then a few weeks later a bumper for another car - this time a 1/18th scale Team associated model. Prices aren't bad for what we wanted, although I think some of what he sells like the dolls house furniture is rather pricey to be honest.

This was a great place to go at the weekend if I had a few quid for a new kit proct. I bought my…read morefirst Tamiya kit there at the age of21/22 It was a Tamiya XR311 plus radio kit (Acoms c ch) and chargers, batteries etc. I always believed his shop was in Coventry Road. Maybe my memory messed up on that. I recently heard that the shop was closed as Bob passed away a fw years ago. Very sad. That as well as Jum Davis Models in Marsh Lane Erdington was among my favourite places

For anybody who loves train models, car models or aircraft models, then Bob's is definitely the…read moreplace to be for you. In Birmingham, there are few and far between shops that sell such a wide scope as of collectors items, and this dwindling number is more than likely the result of a rise in internet sales in this area; So it's great that a place like Bob's has managed to exist throughout this climate. The store is surprisingly big inside, as appose to the small appearance from the street, and it literally stocks every toy/building hobby imaginable. There are boat building kits, train sets, die cast cars and tanks. Bob's also caters for niche collectors too, and there's a great selection of Star Wars models sold inside, such as star fighter ships. I bought my first scalextric from Bob's, and I used to have great fun playing with it as a young'n. (Writing this really makes me want to retrieve my set from the loft actually) Prices for scalextric cars aren't cheap, and tend to reach around £30 per car. But then again, the models are so detailed and delicate, it's definitely worth paying the cash.
