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!

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.

What a strange little shop! The list of things they sell is just bizarre! It's kind of like an up…read morescaled version of the strange little section in your local shop. There are loads of toys and games in shiny boxes and excessive packaging. There is also a very large collection of watches. The shop fittings, which appear to be straight out of the seventies and a little tired, don't exactly make the products look appealing. I must admit though I quite like the randomness of the displays, with dolls alongside padlocks, batteries and nasal hair clippers! Prices are very cheap. This is the kind of shop that would be perfect if you stumbled upon it on Christmas Eve with a long list of extremely last minute toys to buy, and had got to the point where anything would do...but otherwise I simply can't imagine thinking to make the trip there. However, due to their huge range of products I imagine they could become your shop of choice for, for example, watch batteries or nasal hair clippers...

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?).

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.

From cleaning products, kitchen items, DIY bits and bobs, cheap snacks, cards and so much more - they've got it covered. If you're a keen shopper/browser it's a veritable treasure chest to explore. My particular favourite is the upstairs section. Here's where the items get slightly less bargainous and become a little higher end... They've beds, lamps and all other kinds of home furnishings in a range of styles. Faux-antique right through to the more modern sleek look. I bought an awesome 'telephone box' lamp for my room at home, which is so kitsch and delightful and only set me back £15. (I can imagine it costing a ton more in a vintage shop!) My Mum was particularly overjoyed with a red painted vase that she picked up as well, of which they had many different shades! So, there's plenty to get excited about, and not too pricey as well. However, all that glitters is not gold. I did come away having purchased a few oil reed scent dispensers (the pots of oils with the wooden reeds) and they simply don't work at all. They were only a pound each, but I can see why they were so cheap as they give off no scent at all! Even so, I'm pleased as punch with my lamp so that more than makes up for it!

It was the first time I'd been in a shop which I cannot categorize by what it sells, IT SELLS EVERYTHING !! From bleach to crisps, rugs to xbox games, they have almost everything under one roof. The only thing I can say lets it down is a lack of electrical goods like TV's but if you're looking for a pack of brass tacks and a birthday card for auntie Mabel this is a good place to start........ and if you're feeling tired you can nip upstairs and pretend you're testing a bed out :)
