This is a curious little shop - which advertises itself as a toy shop, but my eyes spied much more…read moreinteresting items in the shape of sewing paraphernalia adorning the entranceway! Yarn, needles, a few craft items are stocked here - but underneath you'll find a selection of vintage sewing and craft books for sale. I browsed this gleefully whilst my friend went and perved on the collectible toys at the back of the shop, and although I didn't buy any (I have a mild obsession with vintage craft books - and am trying desperately to wean myself off!) I was tempted by a couple, and may yet pop back in the hopes they're still there so I can get them as a present for my sew-a-holic mother. Good work, weird toy shop!

The shops inside the Plaza Mall are a bit odd as many shop units have two shops in one. Blue Crystal Collectables is no exception. To get to the toy fun you have to first navigate a tiny sewing shop, the juxtaposition of the two together is very odd when it's a sea of pastels and beige to a back drop of dark horror toy type fun. A lot of what they have on offer can be seen through the windows on the sides of the booth. If you are a toy geek missing that one toy from 10years ago but don't want to pay ebay prices then you may well find it here. The stock ranged from old 90's reboot Captain Scarlett toys to Buffy to Living Dead Dolls and the Masters of Horror toy line. Nothing was excessively priced but you did wonder where they found this diverse range of toys from and what car boots they were going to to stock their shelves. If anyone knows then let me know cause I want to go there now.

Staff are really lovely and friendly - they seem to know most of the customers who go in which I think is a good sign and they do sweets in those lovely plastic, screw top jars. The toy selection is also really impressive - I think they even sell jigsaws. There's a small freezer section and they also sell cigs, papers and the like. Based just over the road from The Court Oak pub and a few minutes away from Queen's Park, this is a lovely place that's well worth a visit.

Everything you want from a classic newsagents they have here under one roof. Can't fault it really. But it is a little tired and outdated. I have known the shop owner for a long time now having lived in the area for over 10 years. most of their regular customers are known by name so its very much a community shop.
