Staff are happy, always helpful, Which is what you need when you go into a toy shop with kids wanting everything hahaa Shelffs are usually full of the item but if not can easily be ordered in. There are always deals throughout the store and you can pick up a bargain, specially before Christmass happy shopping!

I love this toys r us!! After dragging the kids round the rest of the shops for ages taking them…read morehere for a run around and look at the huge selection of toys always cheers them up! The only problem I ever have when we visit here is trying to convince the kids to leave, oh and there was the time my little sister got jammed in a ride on car and 3 members of staff ahd to help get her out lol but they were very nice about it!!

There are Toy Stores and then there are CHILD FRIENDLY Toy stores like this! Very good prices,…read morefrustratedly huge stock (so many choices and so little money) kindly staff helming an inviting store with a dozen small rooms of various toys. Loads of wooden toys and scientific games plus standbys like Elmer and Kidorable wellies/Macs. Kids can enjoy themselves here but buggies have to stay outside. Thankfully, as this is the Costwolds, it won't get nicked. Many toys are very inexpensive and with only about 45. I walked away with a huge haul of books, wooden toys, wellies and even plates and silverware.

I appreciate this place will only hold a small interest to the majority of people in Cardiff, but if you're a child of the 80s and resolutely deny the call to grow up that society places upon you, then this place is freaking ace-a-tron. So many memories are contained with its four dark walls. WWF figures, those tiny models of footballers with massive heads that rarely looked like the actual person, Simpson Figurines, Atari stuff, a Super Nintendo in the original Street Fighter II box that I received for Christmas when I was 9. There's a small section of girls toys, but really 80s Toy Shop is all about the boys. It's a tad pricey, but then this places saves you the time and effort of trawling eBay or trudging around boot sales. 80s Toy Shop is a must for any manboy between the ages of 21-40.

The 80's Toyshop actually stocks vintage collectible toys spanning the 70s, 80s and 90s, from…read moreAction Man figures and Star Wars ships to Ghostbusters memorabilia and even a fully restored Sinclair C5 Vehicle (although that will set you back £1,500!). Many of the products are boxed and in excellent condition, and when there is something incomplete the staff will point it out to you. Some of September's new products include a Mego Spiderman 12" play figure for the boys out there, or an Anastasia 'Fantasy in Paris' for the girls - then there's a Nintendo Nes Console for any retro gaming geeks, complete with controller and power supply! Although they run an online shop as well as their store in Canton, it's better to drop into the shop if you can because their online shop doesn't always show all of the latest stock (although they do update it regularly).

A delightful children's toy shop on a street lined with toy shops!…read more It doesn't take much imagination to guess what the toys are made of, and the wood they use is of the finest quality. Down to the Wood stocks everything from jigsaws to children's chairs so you're bound to find the perfect gift for the perfect little 'un. Given the quality of the items on sale, the toys here are relatively cheap and you'll be able to find a present to suit your budget. And for the grown ups there's also a limited range of household gifts, jewellery and kitchenware.

I think Toys r Us is amazing and this is my favourite branch - barely a week goes by without us…read morevisiting. Toys R Us's are all very similar to look at, and have the same layout. They always have plenty of stock, and lots of special offers. The Basingstoke branch doesn't have a toilet and baby changing facility, which is worth knowing as most branches have, but thats the only downside. Staff will go out of their way to help you. If what you want isn't on the shelves, they will go and check the warehouse: and last year when everywhere was sold out of pink DS Lites they weren't allowed to reserve stock for people but would call you as soon as the item came into stock.

Trek for me, stars for some…read more Yep, its Christmas again and I have kids who demand (actually, they ask pretty nicely and write letters to Santa etc) So, its off for a visit to ToysRUs who have everything don't they? Well, they've quite a lot (if you crane your neck to look up as well as down) and the prices are pretty competitive. If only it wasn't so bright, garish, there was an opportunity to rest your feet (the store's pretty big). Anyway, I still exited lighter of wallet, lighter of heart (got what I was looking for) and pleased that I, a father who has precious little time to go to real shops, managed to contribute to my little ones happiness.

This is a curious little shop - which advertises itself as a toy shop, but my eyes spied much more…read moreinteresting items in the shape of sewing paraphernalia adorning the entranceway! 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.

Then it is all overpriced branded bits of plastic piled high. The toys are separated into girls (PINK!) and boys (way more exciting), and then you have to walk through the nauseatingly smelling baby section to get to the tills. Thankfully the staff were nice and the exit was clearly marked....

Its massive inside and has a range of stock to suit everyone from babies to teenagers. What i've always loved is that they have lots of toys on display too so you can see what things are like out of the box and I always remember skating down an aisle or my brother n a little bike trying to mow me down! It makes it fun for the children and adults as well.

No longer would we go to the store to pick up a lightsaber and pretend to be in Star Wars and no longer would we experience the joy and happiness that filled our hearts.... Until now! Toys R Us is back and better in a new location down Cardiff Bay I must admit that I was never a big fan of the other Toy's R Us because it seemed dark and unfriendly. But now there have been some big changes to the current store filled with the brightest lights and the bubbliest of people. This is a gigantic store that a child could get lost in for months. It has such a fantastic variety of toys and I can live my dream once again and pretend to have a lightsaber fight in order to defeat the dark side. The number of aisles are staggering but there is always an assistant prepared to help if you need some help about an item or just finding your way around the store. Toy's R Us has the renovation it needed. It is now a happy and bright place that is filled with all the toys in the world along with excellent service.
