That's a really useful list Tim, thanks But since when has Southampton been in the West Country?!

 

That list was from a comic trade site, a bit old, and seems to misplace several shops lol.

 

ace comics,southend on sea... my home away from home!

 

There's a (fairly new) Forbidden Planet megastore at the Triangle in Bristol. Only a couple of minutes from my department at uni.

 

*smacks head*
I was just at Bristol, not only is there a FP Megastore, but also a Travelling Man further down the road, I'll add them asap.

You missed the Fantasy Events in Bristol Princess, there were a few of us there

 

I was in Milton Keynes at the time. I'm studying in Bristol, so I'm only there during term time.

 

And you'll be in Bristol when the MK event is on lol, I think the events are dodging you
The walk up to the Triangle from the centre of Bristol was fun, though I bet the others who were there don't agree with me lol. *runs away from Welshguy and Nige*

 

Ah, the hill on Park Street?

 

Nooo you forgot Krackers in Taunton!

http://www.krackers.com/index.php

 

The shop name suits at least one person who shops there then

Princess, that's the one, the Hill of Doom? as it will now be known

 

On my holiday I discovered a nice little Sci-Fi and Fantasy shop in broadstairs called Time & Space.
Looks like a good place to go if you like Dr Who and Lord of the Rings.

They weren't particually well stocked on Star wars things, but I found a couple of good items.

Also a good place to go if you like things like Warhammer.

The Shopkeeper there was at LFCC as part of the 501st.



I have also given them a couple of South Posters and Fliers, which may help the South recruit some people from that area.



Time and Space
82 High Street
Broadstairs

 

I think this thread should be made sticky.

 

WE HAVE FINALY GOT A SCI FI SHOP!!!!!!!!!

Never did I think I would see the day that the Isle of wight would get a half decent Sci Fi shop but its happened. Still being fitted out and it aint that big but never the less its here. More details will follow soon.

 

Let me know dude, and I'll add to the top list
