Forbidden Planet, Birmingham

I have bought many birthday presents from here in the past as most items are pretty rare. This store boasts a very good selection of manga - and the cheapest around too. It’s worth a pop in as you will always be able to pick up a bargain!

Forbidden Planet in Birmingham is a great place for buying comic books, action figures, dvds, movie memorabilia and just about anything sci-fi or fantasy related.
Spread over two floors (toys downstairs, comics upstairs), it’s very easy to find you way around and get what you’re, and if there’s anything you can’t find then the friendly staff are always happy to lend a hand.
The prices are very reasonable although the more “collectable” items do naturally go for a little more.

Really nice staff and they have alot of comic and books and clothing, they are selling for really silly prices online and I see people actually buy them. Not many stores around. closest ones ive been too are wolverhampton and birmingham. Has a lot of sci fi and fantasy thing in a
The staff here will go out of their way to help you and make sure you have everything you came in for. Not may stores do this AND they are amazing they always have cheap posters :) always a good bargain! Find some extraordinary things in there so cool.

Forbidden Planet is the UK’s biggest chain of comic book/memorabilia stores. You’ll find all your latest merchandise from all geek/cult shows, from Family Guy to Star Trek to WWE, and whatnot. Action figures, posters, keyrings, statues, all sorts - even replica swords, if that’s what takes your fancy. The prices on these things are generally quite high because it is a specialist store selling imported goods. But if you want them, and you are wary of buying online, you don’t have many other options (although be sure to check the more standard stores like Woolworths, Argos and Toys R Us - when they do have the same items, they are usually a lot cheaper than you’d pay here).

The Birmingham branch is on two levels, upstairs is the books and comics and downstairs is all the film/TV memorabilia. The staff are friendly and approachable, though you might find them annoying.

I love this shop as it has all the latest comic books and memorabillia from great T.V such as The Simpsons and Family Guy.
I haven’t been in here recently but it had a refurb last year and looks better and more noticeable now. If your looking for rare and exclusive merchandise then you will certainly find it here with ease.
The staff are always waiting to help you and will almost always find what you need.
Its the shop for the inner geek in you! :D
