Nice store. A variety of gaming items to buy, standard forbidden planet.

Great comic and manga store situated opposite the castle in Cardiff. Easily the best one in the city. Friendly staff but you have to really search to find what your looking for. There's lots of stuff packed into a small location but that does mean it's a treasure trove of items.
It's always worth a visit when you're in Cardiff and like your manga/comic heroes.

Great store for every comic book needs you have. A bonus has been the cosplaying staff - being served by an imagination of Harley Quinn was a change.

Lots of choice of Sci-fi products. So many Pop vinyls, books, comics, posters, t-shirt and much more. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The only downside is the stairs to the first floor as there is no lift.

Fantastic shop with lots of great products but the shop itself desperately needs refurbishing and heavily smelt of damp so much so I couldn't spend much time in the shop and is potentially very dangerous to other customers, staff and the products themselves.

Very busy little place, but when you visit, it's understandable. Although tight and crammed floor to ceiling, you are bound to find what you are after. If not, I'm sure the staff will be more than willing to help. I had been searching many places for a certain volume of manga, to no avail, found what I was looking for when I visited.

A great location for movie, anime and general collectibles! There are many special goodies around the shop and I recommend taking a look around if you’re a nerd like me 😉 The only criticism I can supply is that I wish there were full sets of funko pops - sometimes when looking, there are many from the series however missing the one wanted but I will definitely be back either way! Thanks!

Got served by a really nice girl on the counter and the young fella working alongside her was really cool. However, I was in the shop with my 9 year old autistic son, he pointed towards a toy he wanted and I handed it to him, then this older, skinny gentleman with grey hair a beard shouted at him for 'touching'. This man is an absolute shame on a company I grew up visiting. Whenever we pass the store, my son points at the window and shouts 'Ugly beard man' it always raises a smile.
