Reviews

Wow so many books and collectibles. My teens wanted to sleep over there. Good wide range of books and comics. Good pricing. Lovely friendly staff. Low ceiling not for the claustrophobic. Behaved dogs allowed. Quick line for payment. No parking. Paid £23 for parking.

Very bright, spacious store with a good range of stuff to browse.  There are more comics than merchandise, but there’s still a good range of stuff.  There tends to be a good price range of items for a particular subject, meaning if you’re looking for a specific shows merch you’ll likely find something on the cheaper and more expensive ends of the scale.

Wow, I was surprised how much there is to see here. Tons of comics and books but also a lot of fun items on display and people watching here is great. Check it out! Good prices too with lots of things on sale if you keep an eye out.

Far too many to mention but Dr Who, Star Wars and all the mainstream SciFi is well represented but also lots of more niche items and characters get a look in. Upstairs ground floor for figures, posters, statues and t-shirts, downstairs basement for books, games and comics. Good prices, lots of variety. Does get crowded though.

I was expecting something on the scale of Portland, Oregon's Powells Books but the store isn't that big. Also, the way the books and items were displayed was very utilitarian and conventional. It's still a cool geek space, though.

If you're a bit of a nerd this place will be your mecca. Has absolutely everything nerd culture that you'd ever want. And the staff are cool too. Had a chat with one staff member and he was very up to date with the section he was working trading cards.

The shop It's a heaven of comic books very big variety of books available. I'm looking forward to seeing the shop again. You can spend there 2 or 3 hours immediately.

THE place to go for nerds. If you are into comics, get some of the 2 £ grab bags in the basement. Great value. Also go to the sales corner. You can get great books for up to 80% off.

Forbidden planet is a massive collectables store that needs to be visited at least once! I normally go there every month, they have everything comic, manga and movies related, and if you have some nerd friends, trust me, they'll love anything from here!!!

Best place to get gifts for your nerd friends, or just treat yourself! Cards, comics, mangas, statues, gadgets from tv series/movies and anything you want for roleplay games!
