I went to Glasgow a couple of years ago...
Got to drop by a Forbidden Planet....
Cool Shop!
I grabbed a couple of Star Wars things that were not released in North America.

Just on a side note- what are you guys paying for regular TMP fig's in the UK?

Always dropping by FP london coz its so far the only toy shop i found
they did bring the Kaiyado trigun in this year which i gladly grabbed. sadly they sold out quickly as i wanted vash too.
TMP goes for around 9.99 - 12.99 for the regular stuff.
i try not to get em new here as they cost around 6.99 each back home.

about £12.99 to 14.99 at my closest toy store or £10 at a toy fair.
there was a collector mania toy fair about a month ago near london, or memorabilia every 3 months in birmingham. http://www.memorabilia.co.uk/

Thier Shipping was really cheap no more then places like Amazon etc and i have had no problems with them so far.

I went to the London Store just after they moved from one shop to the Bigger shop that they are in now Spent about 3 hours in their but i dont get to London that often so last time i went was about a year ago closest one to me is Cambridge and thats not very big.

G-Force have some of the best prices, like most normal figs cost £9.99, even Preds which usually cost like £13.99, it's only a few pounds less, but that all adds up. The FP in Glasgow is pretty pants though, as is A1, well for Spawn stuff anyway, they never have any of the older stuff, I'm gonna see if the Dream in Eastkilbride, just next to Glasgow, can order stuff in for me, cos I really want Spawn VII, it's so kewl.

Really argos sell that stuff, no way, I've never seen any in the catalogues, I'm goona have to check in there. The only thing I've ever bought from argos toy collecting related was a gundam model kit, a Heavy Arms one, but I'd never thought that Alien and Pred stuff would be in it.

Mandarin figures, no way, I've never, ever, ever seen one of those, like at all, but G-Force is in Glasgow, maybe it's just a one store kind of place, but they do a lot of computer games at good prices, and same for figures, Spawn vs Cy-gor for £25!!!

I saw this thing in FP, it's a Super Man graphic novel type thing, it's about how he really crashed in England and that he's a Brit!!! Looks quite funny, I might pick it up after one of my friends buy it and I read it from them.
