I visited that store like 15 years ago 😁 they got more toys now than back then. Grogu is always a good pickup 🤘

I remember this use to be the only place to go for this stuff. Before the Internet days. But yes the toys have become more and more.

Excellent London Forbidden Planet tour video, Aaron. They certainly have a ton of modern action figures, some at great sale prices. Nice Grogu pick up, too.

In the pre-Covid era I always liked travelling to Forbidden Planet in London, to be fair now I think they are trailing a bit behind the online retailers, their prices at Forbidden Planet are either far too expensive or quite decent strangely, I'm a big GI Joe Classified collector so I tend to go there now if they have them in, but the prices are just too high, when they are so much more reasonable online.

Online doesn't have the costs of running a physical store. Can't imagine it's cheap to be on Shaftsbury avenue. But do agree the prices can reflect this.

@@Empiretoys1138that’s definitely true Aaron, ☺️ I used to love going there, I still like it, I just wish they stocked more GI Joe Classified more regularly 👍

So much TVC and Black Series! Confession: suffering serious Star Wars fatigue atm. Pretty much stopped collecting it for now. Instead, I'm having heaps of fun picking up random stuff from my childhood again. Exhibit A: plush Ernie from Sesame Street - my guy is actually a pyjama bag, lol...

Yeah man, there is a lot of it. I think it long overdue an updated card back to fresh it up. My focus on SW now is only to do with the Mandalorian and any knights of the old Republic. Got to kep it contained

25 Years ago the OG Forbbidden Planet had everything no one else did cheaper and was amazing... Todays puts a £2 Hike on most items & only one member of staff (If shes still there) whos polite and has a laugh with customers I Am Groot she knows whom she is... Its no longer a must hit

I loved going there as a kid and still love going there now. Physical store vs online is always going to have online being cheaper.

Hi Aaron I have followed you a very long time and have subscribed to you but never thought to comment as some youtubers that I have commented, never replied back. I really enjoy your videos and I collect Movie diecast Cars.
