Found this one to be much better than the Wolverhampton branch I visited last month. 2 whole floors of interesting pop culture items. Still a lot of things that can be found cheaper online though. It's my daughter's absolute favourite shop so I've been in a couple of times now, and will no doubt be back many more times at her request. Very easy to get to on public transport, as it has a Metro tram stop right in front (Bull Street).

I’ll give 1 star because even though I love the items and stuff that they have there but I’m not happy with a tall skinny older guy with glasses. He is so rude and unprofessional. If there was a English/Caucasian girl there he would give best customer service to her which happened before he served my sister but when me or my sister who is clearly not a standard image for him that’s when he treats you like dirt. I don’t know how he works in a cool store like that where everyone should be welcomed. He needs to be reported.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Selection seems smaller than it used to be, and it often takes a long time for new stock to filter in (though this isn't the store's fault, stuff is widely available in the US for months before shipping elsewhere). Upstairs is mainly toys, downstairs is mainly books. The 3 for 2 on manga has saved me so much money over the years.

Great store - staff are friendly (more than happy to offer recommendations), and there was a great variety of stock in the store. We stayed for around 40 mins just looking around and admiring all the nerdy displays! They had a great selection of books, comics and board games upstairs. Would definitely recommend going in and having a look if you're in the areas and interested in games or comics!

Staff members ignorant of hidden disabilities and refused use of toilet despite presenting a can't wait card. Was told it was due to being for Staff only, despite being a medical issue, and despite previous staff members allowing use. (Female manager declined use , maybe one day shel know what it's like to suffer a horrible illness and need help and be refused)

Really cool place, as a massive Star Wars and Star Trek fan they have everything you could want. Also they have a really good selection of Sci Fi and Fantasy books as well.Have brought a few books from them would highly recommend.

Loved this shop. An abundance of merchandise and great selection of manga and comic books. Staff really helpful and the shop floor upstairs and downstairs very clean. Some good deals eg 3 for 2 on selected manga and generally well priced. Brilliant

It’s clean and bright. Has a good selection of items across all genres and is generally well priced. It’s all set out very well and it’s easy to find what you need. Staff are on hand to help if needed and are knowledgeable and friendly. They also stock more unusual and hard to find items. All in all a good place to shop for all sorts of fan items from all genres

Forbidden Planet New Street is an absolute paradise for any sci-fi and fantasy lover! The selection of merchandise is mind-blowing, with shelves filled with comics, action figures, collectibles, and my personal fav the manga. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help you find exactly what you're looking for. You can spend hours exploring the store without getting bored. This place truly caters to fans of all ages and offers a truly immersive experience. Forbidden Planet New Street is a must-visit for any pop culture enthusiast such as myself! Without a doubt I'll be back again to buy another book of berserk!
