I bought Robosen Grimlock from them as the store that I previously intended to buy from suddenly sold out just as I was about to buy. That was actually the best thing that could have happened, as Gobs... See more

Used this shop several times over the…

Used this shop several times over the years, but I never feel comfortable in his shop. Constantly name calling people that are politically right or who don't agree with his alignment. There used to be a time people were just more than their politics. I don't really interact with him because of this. If Forbidden Planet delivered safely me and my mate would never step foot in here.

Wow. I have just read the reply from Gobsmack and can honestly say I am Gobsmacked! 1, I Don't know you personally and I certainly don't follow your shop on any social media. 2 A targeted attack? When did you ever become so important that you think for one second that you have a more than a frustrating moment in my head. 3 I left the review because I am sick of coming in and listening to whoever it is, some guy with a bald head and glasses always piping on about Trump and that idiot Farage, or how people on the right are 'expletive' idiots or morons'.
I come in once or twice a month to pick up some comics and supplies, to a place i would expect a little freedom from that, and instead I get to feel uncomfortable and out of place. Last time was it so I wrote a review. No conspiracy here fella. Not everyone cares about politics the way you all do in that store

This is getting a bit ridiculous now my friend. My friend also wanted to write a review, but we agreed that it wasn't necessary for two of us to talk about the same thing. So if I did have it in for you, surely I would have encouraged him to do so. The fact that you are sitting there questioning whether or not this is a genuine review is in itself insulting. I left a review because I don't feel comfortable talking about it with you. What do you want me to do, come up to you and say 'hi there, I am one of those people you call idiots because I agree with Trumps Tariffs'. You seem to forget I have heard how you talk about it. And so to your last point, I don't care about a persons politics, it really doesn't bother me as long as you are not an extremist. But not caring about who supports who doesn't not mean that I don't feel uncomfortable when you tie everyone with the same brush. I felt uncomfortable, and no I never said everytime I am in there as you put it, but you know yourself it is spoken as much as comics are. Just because I am the only one to write a review, doesn't mean there aren't others who feel the same. So stop looking for a conspiracy, and just accept that this is how you have made two people feel, whether intentional or not

Reply from Gobsmackcomics

This is obviously now a targeted campaign against me personally. Everybody, no matter colour, creed, gender, sexual orientation, religion or politics is welcome at Gobsmack. I would like one single example of a time where we have personally interacted in my shop and you've felt uncomfortable. I'll wager you've never even spoken to me other than on Facebook. Trying to discredit my business, my hard working and dedicated staff because I didn't share your views on a Facebook post is as transparent as it is childish. Let me be perfectly clear after reading this *updated* review. It seems extremely coincidental, that this "review" popped up literally minutes afer I was having discourse on a Facebook post from my personal page, that had nothing to do with the shop at all. The fact that you sate that you have used the shop "several times over the years" Yet "Everyime" I am using expletives about Trump and Farage is laughable. So you and your mate are the ONLY people to have experienced his amoung 100's of reviews is interesting. Futhermore I don't swear on the shop floor, and if you don't care about politics, why would you care about these things. How about you come to he store and actually speak to me, then we will be able to see if this is a genuine experience or not. I suspect you wont though

One of the best prices online

This shop had my 1989 Batman by Hot Toys for one of THE best prices online - and it seems I lucked out because after I looked at the listing again (after linking my online friends to it) it was sold out!
The packaging was perfect - the model was nicely protected in there. They also don't mess about with Mickey Mouse couriers like Hermes or Yodel - they use Royal Mail - this got big bonus points alone. Rapid arrival from the time I ordered to them actioning it and getting it to me. Really happy with my purchase - the Batman looks incredible.
