I didn’t know Forbidden Planet was still going… think the one in Croydon closed a long time ago. Is the one in Southampton still going?
Edit: My mistake. Croydon branch is still going. It just moved location. Looks like Southampton one is still going strong.

The one in Cardiff is still active, although it looks a bit worse for wear these days.

Newcastle’s moved to a bigger shop and really smartened up - the expansion even meant they had room for a full room of comics again.
Its in the comics district with Travelling Man, Geek Retreat (it doesn’t smell as bad as you’d think) and a nearby Cex

I miss having a decent comic store nearby. Ray Gun in Richmond was a nice one.

There’s Universal Export in the indoor market next door too for boxes and boxes of old comics too. And obviously some action figure and merch stalls too.
We’re surprisingly well serviced here really.
There’s a second hand classic games stall too but for new games you’d have to go to the Funko Pop stand in Sports Direct that used to be Game.

God I would love a shop with boxes and boxes of old comics. All the good places in Brum are just merch/Manga shops now.

Yep I spent many a day flicking through the back issues boxes in FP Croydon. There was another shop in the indoor marketplace (think the market was called Trams or something). Think it was on Church Street? I should really remember it better as I got my first tattoo there...

I found a bunch of my old toys yesterday. I haven't seen these Episode 1 statues in well over 20 years. They still have the little leaflet inside. Mental.

I have two complete sets of Teenage Mutant HERO Turtle coins that you collected from Woolworths with tokens from the Sun or something during the early 90s peak of Turtlemania. I cannot wait for the day Mrs Shark finds them so I can say “You HATE me for having those coins!!!”

I think it was last week when I found out that Trebor is just Robert backwards and they did that on purpose for the brand.

I was so old when I realised what the wordplay was in that Simpsons episode where Lisa becomes Little Miss Springfield. “Look at that chewing gum walk, very wrigley”
