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!

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.

Great experience today with my two kids (8yrs & 5yrs)…read more Both my kids were invited to a build a bear party. We arrived and kids greeted with a lovely welcome and given name stickers. They were then shown a choice of 3 bears to pick (this would be their own bear). They then (7 kids) did various activities as they moved across the store. (The party took place in the store whilst it was still open to the public which was a little odd but somehow worked). Kids then took in turns to pick a heart for their bear, stuff their bear and chose one top they could keep. After all bears were stuffed they then played hide and seek with the bears and the store mascot. At the end of the party they all got to keep their bears and received a 'birth certificate'. The party costs from £10 per child (£13 for this one which includes top), a bear for each guest & host. We have been to the store on numerous occasions and have always been greeted by polite staff who are happy to help and make the kids feel special. A lovely shop concept for all kids who still enjoy a traditional 'teddy bear' toy.
