    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!

    Indoor shopping malls/markets on local high streets are the best, you just never know what's going…read moreto be inside and what gems you may find. 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.

    There's millions of toys all under one roof. I don't know if they still use that slogan and I don't…read moreknow if there are actually millions of toys here, but there are enough to keep me occupied looking at 'em. There's pretty much every kind of (childrens) toy you can think of. They also have a wide range of computers and games consoles (and games), and were the first company in the UK to stock the innovative EEE pc. As far as I know, they are still the chief supplier of this brand. Festival Park is a great location for the branch, as Toys R Us and the cinema make for a good day out. There's also that waterpark there, though I've no interest meself. The last time I visited this Toys R Us, the opening hours went quite late (I think it closed at 8pm).

    Toys R Us on the Festival Park is probably the biggest toy store in the area and has a huge range…read moreof items from bikes to dolls and video games to baby things. Like most other stores on the Festival Park it is open until 8pm most nights. The prices are reasonable and the staff seem knowledgeable and are usually very helpful and friendly although it can sometimes be tricky to find someone because of the shear size of the store. The layout of the could be better It sometimes feels a little claustrophobic with the shelving towering high above you and because of this you can't see the signs to guide you to specific things but I suppose that is the only way that they could fit everything in.

    This place will take you back to your childhood…read more Toycraft is an exquisite toy shop, nestling in the middle of Chester. It's definitely a more upmarket toy shop than, say, Toys R Us -- the toys are 'top of the range' (many are made of high-quality wood) and are priced accordingly. ...well, this is Chester, after all! Quite a few of the toys seem to be original (at least, I've not seen them on sale anywhere else), and there is plenty to amuse and entertain youngsters of all ages. The staff are friendly and helpful, and shopping (or just browsing) there is a real pleasure. The only slight drawback is that it's in the middle of Chester and access for drivers is not especially easy. Because of the quaint old nature of Chester, the shop is not the easiest to get into if you've got a buggy (if I recall correctly there are some steps right by a narrow-ish entrance, with a sharp turn immediately you go in) -- and this is the only reason why it gets four stars rather than five. But if you can get there, and if you can get in, I doubt you'll regret it!

    We visited Toycraft Chester on Fri 3 May 13. Staff were very friendly and helpful which made…read moreshopping a pleasure. It is an excellent toy shop right in the middle of Chester. Toys are arranged in very good display cases and viewing/buying is made very easy. We did buy a number of items and were impresses with the service and the packing used. Over all I would recommend a visit.
