Ok internet it is confession time; I love geek stuff. I love nerd stuff. While I have never quite been into the comic book scene I have always enjoyed other aspects of the nerd persona; computers, video games, the occasional fantasy novel. I was looking for a shop that catered to my tastes; a place that sold the kind of merchandise I would want to buy. Referential stuff; stuff that’s not obviously nerdy or geeky but is subtle enough that only a select few “super fans” would get it.
So I found Forbidden Planet. A shop that caters to the entire range of nerds; ranging from classic Star Wars figurines and posters all the way to the more obscure of the Japanese anime world. There’s figures, there’s manga, there’s comic books, t shirts, toys and anything you could possibly imagine or want. With a friendly atmosphere, nice staff a the huge range on offer it’s a great place to express yourself.
