There are Toy Stores and then there are CHILD FRIENDLY Toy stores like this! Very good prices,…read morefrustratedly huge stock (so many choices and so little money) kindly staff helming an inviting store with a dozen small rooms of various toys. Loads of wooden toys and scientific games plus standbys like Elmer and Kidorable wellies/Macs. Kids can enjoy themselves here but buggies have to stay outside. Thankfully, as this is the Costwolds, it won't get nicked. Many toys are very inexpensive and with only about 45. I walked away with a huge haul of books, wooden toys, wellies and even plates and silverware.

What a great toy shop! This store stocks toys for children of all ages. They're mostly branded, and…read moremany are very heavily discounted. I've picked up so many bargains here in the past, and my daughters will be enjoying a half price Baby Born and a half price Whac-A-Mole game this Christmas, saving me a total of £27.50. They also sell TP climbing frames and garden toys. The staff seem very friendly and helpful. They seem to really enjoy their jobs. The website is very good, too and gives a good indication of the current offers and reductions.

I appreciate this place will only hold a small interest to the majority of people in Cardiff, but if you're a child of the 80s and resolutely deny the call to grow up that society places upon you, then this place is freaking ace-a-tron. So many memories are contained with its four dark walls. WWF figures, those tiny models of footballers with massive heads that rarely looked like the actual person, Simpson Figurines, Atari stuff, a Super Nintendo in the original Street Fighter II box that I received for Christmas when I was 9. There's a small section of girls toys, but really 80s Toy Shop is all about the boys. It's a tad pricey, but then this places saves you the time and effort of trawling eBay or trudging around boot sales. 80s Toy Shop is a must for any manboy between the ages of 21-40.

The 80's Toyshop actually stocks vintage collectible toys spanning the 70s, 80s and 90s, from…read moreAction Man figures and Star Wars ships to Ghostbusters memorabilia and even a fully restored Sinclair C5 Vehicle (although that will set you back £1,500!). Many of the products are boxed and in excellent condition, and when there is something incomplete the staff will point it out to you. Some of September's new products include a Mego Spiderman 12" play figure for the boys out there, or an Anastasia 'Fantasy in Paris' for the girls - then there's a Nintendo Nes Console for any retro gaming geeks, complete with controller and power supply! Although they run an online shop as well as their store in Canton, it's better to drop into the shop if you can because their online shop doesn't always show all of the latest stock (although they do update it regularly).

If they don't stock what you want you can get them to order it to your home address, but they do charge delivery, so it's not really any different to shopping online. They frequently have sales and 20% off deals, so it's usually possible to get a bargain. The display toys seem very popular - my children could spend hours there! The staff are friendly and helpful. Most of the toys are good quality. They only cater for 0-8 year olds, though, which is a shame.

We got our 4 year old son a little car that has a trailer on the back, and it even came with a tiny horse. The store was packed full of people, and so was the little exhibition! Really cool if you like that sort of stuff. And kind of cool if you don't.

Model Railway Exhibition is quite good. I think the price (£2.50 for an adult being the maximum…read moreentry) is very good. The Exhibition is quite small but there are lots of buttons to press to make the trains go. One of the trains being Thomas the Tank Engine. There is also a wonderful scene at the beginning which goes in cycles from day to night. My little boy was fascinated by the lights and the detail. It's not very big but it's certainlt good value.

I think Toys r Us is amazing and this is my favourite branch - barely a week goes by without us…read morevisiting. Toys R Us's are all very similar to look at, and have the same layout. They always have plenty of stock, and lots of special offers. The Basingstoke branch doesn't have a toilet and baby changing facility, which is worth knowing as most branches have, but thats the only downside. Staff will go out of their way to help you. If what you want isn't on the shelves, they will go and check the warehouse: and last year when everywhere was sold out of pink DS Lites they weren't allowed to reserve stock for people but would call you as soon as the item came into stock.

Well, they've quite a lot (if you crane your neck to look up as well as down) and the prices are pretty competitive. If only it wasn't so bright, garish, there was an opportunity to rest your feet (the store's pretty big). Anyway, I still exited lighter of wallet, lighter of heart (got what I was looking for) and pleased that I, a father who has precious little time to go to real shops, managed to contribute to my little ones happiness.
