    Ordered a funko pop via click & collect from this store, within about 10-15 minutes of ordering it was available to pick up. No fuss, no hassle, it was a very quick and easy process. I will definitely be shopping here again. They have a great selection of toys, probably just as good as Smiths or Toys R Us though obviously a lot smaller, easier to visit as it's inside the Metrocentre.

    Popped here with my 6 year old son. He wanted to look at the Sonic toys as we'd just been to the cinema to see the movie. They had limited range of Sonic toys (just plenty of Shadow and Eggman) but that's understandable with the popularity of the movie. The shop was tidy and well stocked of a huge range of toys.

    Superb toy shop in the Metro Centre. Staff were lovely and it has a massive massive selection of toys, puzzle, dolls, games and more for birthdays, events and for Christmas of course. I'll be back as Arnie says.

    Hell! Tightly packed aisles full of toys. You get round the place only to realise that you have to go back to the entrance to join the queue as essentially the shop is one big queue which takes forever.

    I went in for a wrestling figure and even though the one I was after was not there, the staff were so helpful and I did get one eventually. One man who was very tall was great at simply talking about it and made actually going in to the shop so much better. Also one lady at the till went through the entire wrestling figure list to help me look for what they had. So thank you to them. 🤘

    Better place for toys, very busy place. Got most of the brand's LOL, Barbie, Peppa pig, Paw Patrol, PJ masks, Avengers, squishmallows, lego

  • 5/5 Adina B. 4 years ago on Google
    My 4 years old son wanted a Paw Patrol toy so the only thing I can complain is about my limited budget available. The selection of toys is impressive

    Had a certain Funko Pop head that my daughter wanted. But it was £8 cheaper than the shop next door, which is a big plus for me. Also has friendly staff, who seem happy to help.

    As much as any parent enjoys going to a toy shop for their kids. Can be nightmare. The girls both received money from their relatives to spend. Pleasant clean good selection certainly ready for birthdays Christmas etc....
