Sometime secondhand specialised collectors shops like these fail on the organisation front and can feel a bit dusty and stale, but this is not a problem for Atomic Collectables.

Calling all comic book and action hero fans!…read more If you haven't been here, where have you been! This place really is great. They have anything and everything you could want relating to Comics, action movies and even some Simpson's and Family Guy memorabilia! Downstairs is dedicated to figurines, posters and gadgets, whilst upstairs boasts a huge selection of comics, novels and collectible figurines! If you have a friend or kid who is really into this stuff its a great place to come for some gift shopping! I also noticed they've jumped on the Twilight bandwagon (like everywhere else) and sell some pretty cool Twilight memorabilia too! Some rather nice posters of R-Patz are available...swoon!

The stuff in here is perfect for stocking up on great gifts for birthday presents or Christmas! And they also have a whole range of costumes and toys in here too. If you come n here with a child be prepared for a long stretch as the store is jam packed and kids just love it! It's pretty cheap too which is always good as people do tend to rip the arse out of kids shops as they know tantrums could result in a child not getting what they want and parents looking for the easy life begrudgingly giving in. Ahh, the joys of what I have to look forward to.

I like shops like this. I think the kid in me is just attracted to glitter!…read more I'm also a big fan of hand-making cards for friends and family, so I do spend a good bit of time in shops like Art & Hobby, agonising over which thickness of card to get (seriously. I've been known to have to leave the shop to have a think before I buy!). The Art & Hobby shop is in a great location, probably the best location of all the crafty shops in town, so I end up going in simply because I'm passing it. It's not my favourite though. I find it a little more expensive than its rivals and it is a lot more focused on kids toys and crafts, which can make it hard when you want to make a card for someone over the age of 5!

I'm not really a DJ-ing guy! But I do go into this shop for something else, Sisha pipes. I was recently in London with the other half and whilst visiting my old haunts we happened upon some really cool Sisha bars and I've become a little obsessed with it! When back home, I went hunting for a Sisha Pipe of my own. I was wondering around town looking for a hippy, free world type place and never expected to find them at a DJ equipment shop! They were really friendly and a bit a fan themselves so were more than happy to help me out in my first purchase!

It's wear I go when I want to dress like an ejit on Halloween or a fancy dress party. This store is filled with all the things you need to dress up as a soldier, fire man or police man for an occasion where you want to impress with the detail of your costume. You do find quite a few strange characters (who just might really be preparing for the bomb drop) wondering around through the aisles but they are harmless enough. They also stock a range of Air-soft guns; an out-door activity where people shoot pellets at each other across a field (yeah...really). The clothes are all very cheap, although the Air-soft equipment is quite expensive.

This place is really cool!…read more I have an impending 80's action hero party this weekend and we were really stumped for somewhere to get stuff that doesn't look cheap and perhaps might host replica guns of some sort. I was told that this place would be the best bet so off we went! It had it all. The most surprising thing has to be the prices. They're pretty good! We managed to get combats, belts, pistol holders and my partner got some kind of air soft pellet gun thing. So cool, it was only £25 too! They really have everything you would need to dress up as an army officer or police officer, or Action Hero! It's great! The staff are super helpful too, especially the two old lady's they're beyond cool!

Easily the worst customer experience I have ever had with any store. I ordered an item back when…read morethe pandemic hit. I was not aware of it at the time, but the store had price hiked this item from €35 to €150 (!?). The item never arrived. Waited 2 weeks and Romek promised to follow up with the courie, but I never heard back. I contact them again, they stall and say they are still waiting to hear from courier. 3 weeks after purchase and after numerous attempt at contact, I ask for a refund and they finally respond saying they will refund "once they receive the items back". Obviously I have no idea where the item is and cannot return it. Had to file claims with the bank, PayPal and track down the courier myself without any help from the store. They outright lied about contacting the courier, who informed me that they had never been in touch.This issue caused a lot of stress, which is why I am hoping this review might serve as a warning for those who plan to do business with them.

I've never really been a big fan of these types of games, as there are such things as Playstations that make such things a little more entertaining (and I'm rubbish at any type of strategy game). But I have a lot of friends who spend a lot of time and money on these games and love nothing better than putting together an unbeatable deck. The staff here are really nice, friendly guys who would help any newcomer get into the fantasy game of his/her choice. A lot of these shops can be filled with pretentious ejits who scorn 'newbes' or however its spelt.
