I am in Canada and I grew up in the 90's; I watched Thunderbirds a lot. I still own the Thunderbird Island play set to this day with all the vehicles and some 3.75" figures as well😂👍🤷♂️
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour that's great 👍. When I was a kid I'd spend a lot of time in toy shops, admiring the MOTU sections. After that I used to feel so satisfied, I'd literally be "full". I mean as if I had a meal or something.
I appreciate the tour of Forbidden Planet, David. I've heard quite a bit about it. It looks amazing. It's always been a dream of mine to one day visit London. Forbidden Planet would be my first stop before seeing any historical sites. Excellent video, good sir.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour I’ve never been to the one in London I have been to the ones in Liverpool, Manchester and Nottingham but I am planing on visiting the one in London and Cardiff someday
Good selection of marvel legends and gi joe. It’s probably an American thing, but its hard to find a by gi joes here in the stats at the store. Let alone the target exclusives. The neca alien and predator figures cost about $29.99 US dollars here, that should translate to just over 21 pounds, but i guess they charge extra to import it? Cool video, would like to see the Iron Maiden stuff they had in detail, next time.
Thanks bud, I think import costs might play a factor but also Forbidden Planet is well known for high prices. I'll definitely do a more in depth video soon!
Hi great video I use to go FP all the time mostly for comics on a Wednesday but since lockdown that couldn’t happen so I’m planning on a trip soon it was nice to see someone from 🇬🇧 doing a video not many of us around if u know what I mean mainly 🇺🇸 videos keep up the good work.. subscribed!!! 👍
New subscriber here. Loving your videos and thanks for this tour. Just like many others here in the US, I had heard of Forbidden Planet and had wondered how it looked. What amazes me the most is the selection and availability. All the stores where I live have either sold out of many of these figures, they were scalped, or they never showed up. Keep at it and can't wait for more videos.
Hey welcome to the channel bud, good to have you here! I think it's easy for us in the UK to take things like the availabilty of exclusives for granted. We're pretty lucky in that regard.
Dave! I just took a trip to London and went here! I thought it was amazing! The comic store that I usually go to in my hometown is kinda messy, but has lots of great stuff, so it was cool to check out this one as well.
man, this was part of my itinerary, when we planned to go to London last year, looked around toy shops..& yeah our tickets expired, even if we moved the travel date w/in one year grace period...appreciate it David, felt I got a couple of hundred dollars back ;)
Duuuuude, I'm so jealous if your toy store. There's NOTHING like that around Philadelphia that I know of! I've looked haah. I would LIVE in that store 😆😆💸💸💸💸
Looks fun it's a good thing there's only a couple stuff I collect and newer Marvel Legends on there so I won't spend all my money at that store if I were there unlike the stores I'm at
Hey David. The 1/6 (12 inch) figures are most likely from Hot Toys. I haven't gotten into the Storm Collectibles MK figures because I already started collecting the McFarlane ones along with another set from manufacturer called Jazzwares. I also have a set from Mezco.
My local fp had damaged box stuff on clearance so pick up the king slink for 15 pounds , they had pumpkin for 15 but missed he was gone next day. My fp does really good prices for damaged stock.
Thanks for the video. I live in Sydney, Australia and there aren't too many stores here that stock all those awesome collectables. So, if you are willing to brave the social anxiety again, I'd greatly appreciate a more thorough video. Thanking you. Oh! And we used to have the Thunderbirds on here as well. It was early on a Saturday morning.
It’s a shame in America we can’t walk in to stores and find inventory like that cause pricks are buying it all up and selling it on EBay. We have a Forbidden planet here in NY but it’s not stocked like yours that store has figures on the peg we only dream ours had, I’ve never seen so many McFarlane toys or Joe’s on a peg and exclusive’s. Our problems began when store’s like kay-bee’s, FAO Schwartz’s, Toys R’ Us, closed down and the Rise of Amazon and EBay
You're evolving as a collector now bro by not spending on figures that you're not 100 percent on👍 It takes a lot of will power but it really helps financiallyz
That's a cool little store it's always cool seeing figs and stores across the pond, Dan who? and his little friend we to a store three four hours away😁👍 you should of picked up the elder predator it's a really awesome figure the price is worth it, it's the same here in the states $40 and ultimate figures are pretty good nothing really breaks on them some times they fall, I have the first move predator he fell and his blade drone off but I was able to fix it but other than that there good, oh and my Freddy vs Jason, Jason fell back was leaning up against my pumpkin head his legs got loose. But ultimate figures are good don't really have a problem with them😁👍 and the eledr predator is one of my favorite NECAs.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour same dave, I'm from Wales and live here now, but I lived in vauxhall for 3 years and tbh you don't realise what you have on your door step in London, until you move home again 😭😭😭
Frankly I don't think the staff there are very bothered about stuff like filming They seem very laid back and prolly overworked You can get a good deal at Forbidden Planet but it pays to wait to see if things are reduced as you are well aware mate 👍🤘
HOLY SWEET BABY LORD AND FULL GROWN JESUS....THAT COLOSSUS IN THE FRONT WINDOW! Mr Dave thanks for the vid, I'm off to the local hospital so they can take out all non essential organs so I can go get that collosus!
One my favorite places to drop in on when I'm visiting my sister and brother-in-law. There were two Legends that I noticed I would have definitely purchased. Surprisingly I don't have one of them. Which I really need to pickup before he gets expensive. Nova still has not dropped in the States yet, at least where I am. Plus Spider-Mans biggest admirer J.Jonah. I grew up watching Thunderbirds and I also absolutely loved Battle of the Planets. Dave, seriously saw someone throw down $345 for an single Eternals Ikaris today. Can you please explain that insanity to me please?
David i recommend you to go to the restaurant pollo it's italian you have to go trust me search it up and do a review. Ok maybe the review was too much of a ask of me.
As cool as forbidden planet is, I’m still waiting on the generations selects nightbird my dad pre ordered for me in early December for Christmas The recent release date was mid May and I’m still waiting
Whoaaaaa dark crystal, talk about a throwback. Those lizard things freaked me out too
Dude me too!
I am in Canada and I grew up in the 90's; I watched Thunderbirds a lot. I still own the Thunderbird Island play set to this day with all the vehicles and some 3.75" figures as well😂👍🤷♂️
FAB! :) Thunderbirds were massive in the UK in the 90's.
I bloody love Forbidden Planet - spend a fortune every time I go
Oh I know that feeling well!
I used to go to the Forbidden Planet in NY.
Good times!
Ah man, I love to comic stores in NYC. Can't wait to go back!
Reading the comments I realise as a londoner I've taken being able to pop in here for granted
Oh I know man, we forget just how lucky we are.
By the way...love the nightmares on wax song in the background...you rock sir
Aw thanks man. Nightmares is perfect background music.
I've wondered for years what this store looked like. This was an amazing treat, thank you David. Wish I could visit there someday.
Hopefully one day!
There is nothing more fulfilling than a stroll through an action figure store. Thank you so much for this. Very satisfying watch 😀
You're very welcome, I will definitely make more of these videos.

Lol Comics store over Buckingham Palace every time!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t live near a forbidden planet so when ever I go there it’s always a fun treat
Yeah it's always a highlight of a London visit.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour I’ve never been to the one in London I have been to the ones in Liverpool, Manchester and Nottingham but I am planing on visiting the one in London and Cardiff someday
I used to watch Thunderbirds as a kid. I had the die-cast vehicles. I'm Canadian so we always had British shows.
Ah yes, our greatest export :)

This reminds me of toys r us if it was a collectibles store. If I ever end up in London I’ll be sure to go there
Man I miss Toys r us!

Honestly I'm amazed we got these so early over here!

Great video bro. I really enjoyed the tour. Pretty cool store
Thanks brother! :)
This is really cool! I’m in Canada and always wondered what Forbidden Planet looked like inside!
Thanks man, i'll definitely do a more in depth video tour soon!
Duuuuude, I'm so jealous if your toy store. There's NOTHING like that around Philadelphia that I know of! I've looked haah. I would LIVE in that store 😆😆💸💸💸💸
I'm lucky dude. It's one of my favourite places to visit.
Cool video Dave. I need to visit that store ASAP. 🤣👍
It's definitely an essential visit!
Looks fun it's a good thing there's only a couple stuff I collect and newer Marvel Legends on there so I won't spend all my money at that store if I were there unlike the stores I'm at
Oh man it's so easy to get carried away in this store when you decide that you want to treat yourself!
Hey David. The 1/6 (12 inch) figures are most likely from Hot Toys.
I haven't gotten into the Storm Collectibles MK figures because I already started collecting the McFarlane ones along with another set from manufacturer called Jazzwares. I also have a set from Mezco.
Ah yes I remember the Jazz wares ones. They're actually really fun looking!
My local fp had damaged box stuff on clearance so pick up the king slink for 15 pounds , they had pumpkin for 15 but missed he was gone next day. My fp does really good prices for damaged stock.
Occasionally you can get some real bargains there!

Hey Brad thanks for watching. I'll definitely go back soon and do a much more thorough in depth tour. There's lots more to see!
Omg that place is huge, nothing like the store I go to
That was just the first floor! I'll do a more detailed video tour soon!

Ah man thats so sad to hear. Forbidden Planet actually has a strict 1 per customer rule on many items and I think that helps a lot!
I'm the same with the dark crystal it use to scare the shit out of me, yet watching freddy, jason etc never did lol
Lol same with Never ending story!
Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
You should do more toy hunts. Those get the most views here on other peoples channel's and it's nice to see one from a different country.
I will definitely be repeating this, and in more detail soon!
God, I wish America had a store like this, guess a gotta go to London sometime.
Absolutely you do! :)
You're evolving as a collector now bro by not spending on figures that you're not 100 percent on👍 It takes a lot of will power but it really helps financiallyz
I'm very, very slowly learning!

Man that's another vote for the Elder Predator. Maybe i'll cave in a get him. Right now there are just so many other items demanding my money!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour yes man I hear you Hasbro been pumping out new figs as always 😳🙄🤦♂️ but loving that they are
😉👍
Holy moly...it looks so much better than the one here in ny....WOW WOW WOW WOW
And getting there is super easy, barely an inconvenience :)
In good old Iowa we have Jays CD and Hobby!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ah that's some local flavour :)
Great vid David ❤
Thanks Paul. I really enjoyed doing this. I’ll have to make it a more regular feature.
I go to the forbidden planets in Edinburgh and Glasgow, if you are ever in the area I recommend you head there,
I definitely need to make a trip up North soon!
I love shaftsbury avenue, all the best shops in London are with in 500m of that road
Oh yeah, I lived just off there for a short time. That was the crazy Summer of 2012!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour same dave, I'm from Wales and live here now, but I lived in vauxhall for 3 years and tbh you don't realise what you have on your door step in London, until you move home again 😭😭😭
I fell in love when I went first went there I get all my xmeb stuff
It's definitely my happy place!
I'm planning to go to London on Monday So I'm defiantly going there fingers cross that mortal kombat scorpion head statue is still there 🤣🤣🤣
Ooh let me know if you get it!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour absolutely 😁🔥👍
I've actually been there at that shop. Back in 2019
I think it's time for another visit!
I was going to go yesterday but the rain ☔️ in the afternoon was just too heavy 😎
Sometimes ya gotta brave the elements!
Practically home for me, can't wait to get my first pay from my new job so I can visit again.
That's what paycheques are for!
This is sooooo coool!!!!!
Thanks Bro!
Frankly I don't think the staff there are very bothered about stuff like filming They seem very laid back and prolly overworked You can get a good deal at Forbidden Planet but it pays to wait to see if things are reduced as you are well aware mate 👍🤘
HOLY SWEET BABY LORD AND FULL GROWN JESUS....THAT COLOSSUS IN THE FRONT WINDOW! Mr Dave thanks for the vid, I'm off to the local hospital so they can take out all non essential organs so I can go get that collosus!
Dude he looks incredible doesn't he!
Awee, i was hoping to see some WWE Figures there
Hmmm I don't think they had any at all which is actually quite surprising.
I went to Forbidden planet on thursday and it was packed,i got a manderorain and i was thinking of weapon X. Next time
Mando is a great figure!
We have a forbidden planet Comic book and collectible store in New York
I've been there near Time Square. Loved that place!
You should do a zombie defense team. No super powers like hulk or thor, no telepathy and no healing factors.
Ooh I kinda like that idea.
I love that video
Thanks man!
I was there last Monday lol.
Small world! :)

Dude not even I can explain that kind of insanity and I myself am completely bonkers!
I noticed a Harley Quinn statue I ordered from my local FPI back in 2018 at the start of the video...*goes to check FP website*
Man I could spend hours looking at the statues!
What happened to the marvel selects I was hoping to get the sandman one 😔
I'll try and do a more in depth video next time!
Thank you very much for that incursive excursion
My pleasure!
I was hoping to take a look at dragon ball behind the glass but you skipped it bro
Aw sorry man. Next time!
Hey is the great pumpkin!!!!
That's his name! :)
You should make more storm videos
I absolutely will be very soon!
Ugh funko pops!
I know right?!
David i recommend you to go to the restaurant pollo it's italian you have to go trust me search it up and do a review. Ok maybe the review was too much of a ask of me.
I'll check it out!
As cool as forbidden planet is, I’m still waiting on the generations selects nightbird my dad pre ordered for me in early December for Christmas
The recent release date was mid May and I’m still waiting
Ah man that's a shame, the waiting game is always killer!

I need to head up north!
Could someone tell me the name of the store that appears in the video please, greetings from Mexico 🤩👍
