Rip off artist Close encounters

I ordered figures from there shop. It take month to come. Then I found Ebay invoice in the figure box. They sold it to me for �£150 and they brought it for �£10.99. Those Rip off Brothers. Cheaper games at Computer Exchange and better trade in prices.

Comic book store which will make you come back

This is probably the best comic book shop in Midlands, at least I don't know off a better one. It has a lot of comic books in stock, including the back issues. Owner of the store is a really nice person, always get a minute to have a chat and he is always there for help if you need it. You can sit down on comfortable armchair and read before buy. Really good feature is that when you are subscribing, you are informed when orders come in through e-mail. This is the shop that make you come back there every week - believe me.
