The Toy Shop calls a spade a spade...i.e. it sells toys! For those of you who like jigsaws (I…read morecertainly do!) this seems to be The Toy Shop's favourite product as much of their shop is dedicated to quite a wide range of different jigsaws at reasonable prices. There are plenty of little fun trinkets that would be perfect party bag fillers as well as outdoor games, toy cars and trucks, some beading/ craft type sets and a few dollies among other items. This would be a good place to stock up on last minute birthday presents for the youngsters in your life as there is something to suit most ages and tastes. There isn't a huge range though, but bearing in mind it is a reasonably small market stall it covers most bases well.

In a market room packed and filled to the brim with shops selling useful things ranging from…read morehardware stalls to things related to clothing and hobbies or crafts, and of course foodstuffs, there is very little focus on children, other than stalls in hope of rotting their teeth with confectionary! Therefore, The Toy Shop is a great little store, and whilst it may not focus on the latest games and action figures plastered all over our television screens, there are still a lot of boxes and figurines to buy here. Toys that wont cost you the earth, but with keep the kids distracted for at least 5 minutes, and will satisfy them if you have dragged them out with you to go shopping!

Since the sad demise of the city centre Disney Store this remains as Leeds standing sole survivor…read more It's a shame really something I've always relied on in moments of kidlet present fury is the option to dip into the Disney Store on Commercial Street and spend far too much money on this industry giant of a brand. Walt and his relatives have made plenty of brass out of me over the years, but I don't resent it, as small kidlets and big kidlets alike still light up when you chuck an oversized stuffed animal of film appropriate characters at them. It may be a sad fact but it is true. From the cashing in of the newborn babies super cute baby grows and birth momentos, to the ever so cute toddler clothes and pyjamas, right the way through to the themed character costumes, and then beyond this to Disney's selection of toys, stationary, trinkets and other cartoon gifts, this is a kid's dream store. Like I said, I've never failed to make a kidlet smile when packing various items in a Disney box, complete with Disney fairy dust, and just watch the excitement unravel. Granted this may be a tad indulgent, and many things are overpriced, especially the DVDs, but for treats of special occasion magnitude, then I think it's totally worth it. White Rose's offering may now be a bit out of the way than the convenience of the Commercial Street store, but it's got most of the same things, and the staff are super happy to help. Extra perky is sprinkled on their cornflakes. Fact.

I found the shop to be a little cramped however this was the first weekend the Trinity opened so it was always bound to be full to the brim. the pick and mix is a fantastic facility for anyone who is missing a few bits of any set however it is just standard blocks specialist pieces weren't there. The other great thing is for £3.50 you can make three minifigures up with an accessory and hair from a separate pick and mix, my kids could have spent an age just looking through the various heads and bodies available. The staff are friendly and helpful and the range of sets available is very impressive indeed. For my little boy it was a pleasure to see him take it all in and rush about deciding which set he wants next, however I cant help feel this will become a Jessops type arrangement with customers going into the store having a look to see what they want then buying it cheaper elsewhere.

I took my 5 years old child to buy a few toys he really wanted. The store was very far from my home…read morebut I thought I would treat my boy during summer holidays. So He found what he wanted - 4 Skylanders Swap Force, £14.99 each- and each toy in store was around £6 more expensive than I could get them from Amazon. But I promised my boy that I would buy them on that day so I did. So I bought the toys and we had a look round on the ground floor. Before we left the store, my son left one Skylander at the store. He was only 5, he had it in his hands and left it perhaps being distracted by other toy.He could not remember where he put it. I looked everywhere in the store and followed where he went trying to find the toy. I could not see it and the toy could be picked up by staff and put back on the shelf. I was sent to the store manager. He checked CCTV and said that he saw me having all 4 toys and after that - it was my fault that I lost one. He's got a sale- the rest does not matter! I only thought that my boys' age could be taken into consideration but it was not. I was very upset and wish I would not drive that far and bought the toys online. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEDED!!!!!! No need to say that they won' t get my money anymore.

It's hard to tell whether this shop is called 'Happy Happy Toy Shop', 'Harry's Harry's Toy Shop',…read moreor was once called 'Happy Harry's Toy Shop' but whoever was replacing some of the worn out letters got very, very confused. I thought 'Harry's harry's Toy Shop' was just too downright crazy so tentatively opted for the more believable 'Harry's Toy Shop'. Despite the rather incomprehensible name, the sign is actually rather cute, with brightly coloured lettering on a background of rolling green hills, blue sky and cartoon clouds. This shop has the stereotypical-market-toy-stall obligatory wind up/battery powered moving toys with a crawling baby and a hamster in a ball moving repetitively back and forth and making a mechanical churning noise. How the stall holders put up with the incessant noise I can't imagine...maybe they no longer hear it at all! The range of toys covers most areas including dolls, prams, trucks and cars, board games, jigsaws, toy guns and cowboy hats, toy swords, plastic jewellery sets, miniature umbrellas, tea sets, battery-powered talking parrots, superhero figurines...the list goes on. Prices are generally quite cheap and there's something for everyone so it's a good place to stock up on last minute Christmas or birthday presents for the kiddies in your life (until they get to the age where its iPhones and laptops or tantrums...is that about 6 these days?).

They have a very large range of comics, t-shirts and books and their supplier on speed-dial. Their loyalty card, SUPER CARD GO!, is worth buying for £3 as it offers discount on selected books (I've already saved over the price of the card in my first transaction) and you also collect loyalty card points. Downstairs are board games and card games (Magic The Gathering etc), and they have frequent signing events - I recently met one of my favourite artists, Becky Cloonan, at a signing there. It was awesome.

It is a total geek fest that makes me giddy when I walk through the doors. The ground floor is wall-to-wall lined with comics, graphic novels and books - with such esteemed publishers as Marvel, Dark Knight and Tokyo Pop and many more. They also have a large selection of t-shirts, for both genders, with quirky cool cartoons on, such as a fire-breathing dinosaur with stick people running away from it, or a crocodile/dragon type creature that says "Ra." The downstairs is gamesville. They have hoards and hoards of different board games for any number of different players. My absolute favourite is 'Settlers of Catan'. This is a brilliant strategy game that you can play with your friends - I'd recommend at least four players. They also have tables and seats for you to relax in and enjoy a hot drink. Finally, the staff are absolutely excellent. Once I went in to grab an add-on to a board game for that evening, we were having friends round and we all wanted to play a new version. I knew exactly which one I wanted and headed downstairs to grab it only to discover they didn't have that one in. I went to ask the guy that was working there if they had it in storage perhaps. They didn't have it, but he informed me that the manager of the shop was going to be coming back from the Newcastle branch later that day, so he said he'd ask him if he could pick one up and bring it back for me! Sure enough, he rang his manager who went and found one, and arranged for me to come and collect it a few hours later that day! They even promised to keep the shop open for an extra half hour if I couldn't be there in time. That is customer service.
