Crikey, if you have a child (mine is 2 going on 30, the way he orders me around) you will have come across this place in one guise or another...
Where to start??!! It has everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING!!!
Toys are separated by brand and have huge displays to boot!! Thomas the tank engine and Ben 10 battle for shop floor supremacy. My little one goes absolutely bananas in this shop.
Even as an adult, you can get some sort of joy from bringing your child here. I have had a couple of strange episodes in here...
1) The first time, me and another dad happened to wonder into the WWE section and struck up a conversation about Wrestlemania 6 as we shifted through the 'classic' figures in search of Ric Flair. Another customer informed us that a few kids where waiting to have a look for Triple H and Rock dolls.. WHOOPS. I moved on quickly...
2) Last Christmas eve, I was sent out by the wife to pick up a Zingzilla doll. It was 6 in the evening and i was moody to say the least. On entering the premises a couple of 'refreshed' Aussie chaps threw a rugby ball at me. We proceeded to have inproptu game. I was collared by the store manager who informed me whilst laughing his head off "theres kids here, could be a bit dangerous"... I bought the monkey. Outside I tripped on the horrible ice. It was a bad fall. The Aussies who were loitering in the car park helped me up as; and I quote "Yer getting raped by a monkey".. They helped me to a bus stop. My boy never even played with the damn thing after all that. My arm has never been the same since...
It has it all. It loses a star as it can be a bit pricey. The staff are clued up and enjoy drunken yobs playing rugby. read more
