Customer Reviews
A really great place to go to get presents or just find something for yourself. There were a lot of things to suit my interests and I've noticed, especially for the manga section, that they've changed the layout and some manga aren't there/on display which is a shame because there's only so much I want to get currently. Really great deal of the 3 for 2 on any manga sale and if you're buying any normal item then you can use your student ID to get 10% off purchase.
Anywhere that stocks up to date aew figures and not just the standard unwanted pegwarmers is always a plus to me. Even though they didnt have the exact figures i was after from that wave (not their fault, some figures will always be in higher demand and had sold out) Either way, great selection in store, especially if you are after horror figures, anime memorabilia or rarer or more unique funko pops. Only let down was the bare bones comics and graphic novel selection and presentation, felt fairly slim and weak compared to other fpi and worlds apart stores. But not marking down for that as i was their for the figures and other stores within a few minutes had me covered for bound paper with drawings in them.
A great place to find gems. Bought things I never knew merch of it existed. Kind and passionate staff, really informative and overall had great vibes. A must-visit.
