This was a great place to go at the weekend if I had a few quid for a new kit proct. I bought my…read morefirst Tamiya kit there at the age of21/22 It was a Tamiya XR311 plus radio kit (Acoms c ch) and chargers, batteries etc. I always believed his shop was in Coventry Road. Maybe my memory messed up on that. I recently heard that the shop was closed as Bob passed away a fw years ago. Very sad. That as well as Jum Davis Models in Marsh Lane Erdington was among my favourite places

For anybody who loves train models, car models or aircraft models, then Bob's is definitely the…read moreplace to be for you. In Birmingham, there are few and far between shops that sell such a wide scope as of collectors items, and this dwindling number is more than likely the result of a rise in internet sales in this area; So it's great that a place like Bob's has managed to exist throughout this climate. The store is surprisingly big inside, as appose to the small appearance from the street, and it literally stocks every toy/building hobby imaginable. There are boat building kits, train sets, die cast cars and tanks. Bob's also caters for niche collectors too, and there's a great selection of Star Wars models sold inside, such as star fighter ships. I bought my first scalextric from Bob's, and I used to have great fun playing with it as a young'n. (Writing this really makes me want to retrieve my set from the loft actually) Prices for scalextric cars aren't cheap, and tend to reach around £30 per car. But then again, the models are so detailed and delicate, it's definitely worth paying the cash.

This store opened just as I started my first year at university and I have been a regular ever…read moresince I got into Warhammer 40,000: the prices are regularly a quarter of Games Workshop's and the atmosphere is much more welcoming (especially since GW is turning its back on gamers looking for tables to play on). The hard sell doesn't exist here as the prices speak for themselves, but the staff are friendly and passionate in all the right ways. It isn't just GW products, though, with many different systems on offer (including Privateer Press and Spartan Games). People in this store will always be willing to talk to you about your army and, as a result, the store enjoys links with a number of local gaming groups, including the university's Leicester Sabres. There is a great cross-section of gamers who play here on the days they open late (Tuesday and Wednesday at the time of writing). Another excellent feature is their online store, which is linked to from their website or available by searching for 'Gifts for Geeks'. You can see all their stock and pricing at a glance, and even place orders for collection!
