TM Saved my interest in games and such…read more.. I went into the shop with a friend to try and get into gaming a little as have never really got it before. Liked it a lot in here, clean and friendly and has a much better atmosphere than the total BO fest that is Fanboy 3, a nearby store that perpetuates the stereotype that all Geeks smell. Had it not been for how nice and cool TM was, FB3 would have totally put me off and made me feel dirty even thinking about gaming.

Staff were very informative and polite. Enthusiastically helpful. Were honest about whether or not…read moreI would actually like a comic, based on the Information that I provided.

When I lived on Oldham Street many moons ago, I used to pop into Forbidden Planet on a weekly basis…read moreto pick up new copies of The Sandman, The Invisibles and other cool comics. These days, I only venture in now and again for something specific, like Reinhard Kleist's awesome graphic novel based on the life of Johnny Cash - I See A Darkness. For me, the layout and interior of Forbidden Planet lacks the ambience and wow factor of somewhere like Dave's Comics in Brighton but their range of comics, manga and graphic novels is faultless. For true fantatics and collectors, they also stock a massive range of cartoon, comic and pop culture memorabilia including tee-shirts, games, videos and toys. Personally, I have my eye on one of Frank Kozak's toy smoking rabbits complete with eye patch.

I love this shop being one for gaming and super heroes. i…read morewould have a lot of figures if i had the space but my tomb raider collection as taken over the only space i have. popped in here to see if i could order the lastest lara croft pre order statue but was told its only avaliable from their site so will order from there as they have a huge selection on the web but limited in the shop, also went for a thor mug as i had seen it on the web but wasnot in the shop which was dissappointing as it should of been avaliable unless they sold out. They didnot have what i wanted but enjoyed looking at the figures and books and will pop in again to see if stock as changed but it looks like most of there items are only avaliable from there web site which i suppose is ok but some times you would like to see before you buy especially if its going to cost a arm and a leg like mine is.

Great shop for games aimed at the more strategical minded person, and collecters…read more Bit expensive but then again its worth paying the extra, rather than play mindless video games The shop is small but the stock is well positioned so that it doesnt appear cramped. The staff are very enthusiastic and are obviously into playing the games as much as the customer. They offer very good advice on the games and I have found a few games recommended by them as being better than the games I were going to buy myself

To say I received poor service is the understatement of a lifetime! I have returned a package for a…read morerefund that I have still not received a month later, despite the tracking of the return showing that it was delivered back to lego 3 weeks ago. I have emailed and rang, and at first they just told me that it was taking longer than expected. Now they are just ignoring my emails. I cannot believe a company as big and as popular as Lego can give such poor service. I shall not buy from them again or recommend them to anyone.

I spent far too long in the Lego store today creating mini figures of my family from the shop's big…read morepots of Lego heads, bodies, legs and mini accessories. You can make 3 figures for a fiver, which makes a very unique and fun gift! I was making mini versions of my family to give to my dad for his birthday. So he can always have us near! I loved every minute of my visit to the Lego store (and it was probably heading towards the 70 minute mark too!) Even though towards the end I was getting a bit frustrated that they had a limited choice for female outfits and loads of stuff for the men. Shocking sexism Lego, sort it out! ;) It was great to see all the young kids running about the shop getting really excited about all the amazing Lego kits; it's so brightly coloured and the staff are VERY enthusiastic and helpful even if you're a big kid. So if you're like me and you grew up annoying your parents by littering the front room with Lego then you've definitely got to visit the Lego store.

Added to this the slightly out of the way location means its never too crowded, which due to the packed nature of the shop is a good thing. This shop is well worth hunting out

Although I haven't been there this year (all my friends' children are too old now!), I have been…read morevisiting here since it first opened. It is a truism that all men are still children at heart and we can't resist some toys. It saddened me when my own children became too old to use as an excuse (probably when they got to 'A-level' stage), so I went for resents for friends' children. The store is immense and caters for all toylovers, whatever age. Yes, there are children playing with things all over the place. Watch out for them, don't trip over them and you'll be alright! Whatever new toy is the current rage for Christmas, there will be some available here, for a limited time - you have been warned! Parking is very easy as there is an enormous carpark as part of the store. To find it, look out for the signs for IKEA - directly opposite.

I've been here on many occasions and the choice of toys is second to none. It is a very large store…read moreand the stock of toys is excellent. The children love going there and trying different toys and then it gives us ideas when myself and my wife go back ourselves. The staff have always been good with us and the car parking is good too. During the Christmas period they take on a lot of temporary workers, so if you are looking for a part time job - check it out!! The downside is that if you want any advice and you choose the wrong person of staff, at that time of year, the advice isn't always the best. Look for somebody more experienced.

MAJORLY dissapointed with this store…read more found every single member of staff rude, abusive, acting like the dont want to be there and not helpful in the slightest i wish i could say this was only once or twice but its every time we go in there. we had to buy all of our baby stuff from here as its nearest to our house and whilst attempting to open a store card we had to retuen several times, i was heavily pregnant and no chair was ever offered while we stood around waiting for the incompetant staff to try and work out what was wrong with their computer!! even the managers didnt know it turns out they had been trained wrongly/badly never have i ever recieved a smile or a friendly hello off anyone working their and when i tried to return a faulty item they didnt want to give me the time of day and sent me away and when i asked a lady who was stood around leaning on a cot and chatting to another member of staff for a demonstration for a pram i got a discuisted look as if i had interrupted her socialising and she grumpily showed me how to use it there are always large groups of staff stood talking to each other on the shop floor and never ever anough people on the tills. one if ure lucky!!!!

It is a great place just to go and browse, I could spend hours in there trying all the toys and testing the computer games! The staff are really friendly and willing to help. They are not the cheapest place for toys on the high street, but if you want to get everything for your children's Christmas in one place, it is ideal. They also have a baby section selling cots and bedding, and a bike section.

I went in searching for a small toy to give to a new-born relative. Upon entering, I couldn't believe how scary and overwhelming this place is! True, if you're a kid, this place is a flashing, brightly-coloured, magical dream. But for a normal adult, it's almost a bit too much. There are toys from floor to ceiling everywhere you look, massive models of famous Disney characters and huge Lego models. Wow. So many toys though. This place really does what it says on the tin.

The store is a nice decent size, not too big to be overwhelming but large enough to have a lot of stock without being cramped. the only downside is if you phone them, they have a very strange holding system that either cuts you off or plunges you into unknown depths of silence for an indeterminable amount of time!
