    I can remember there being a store in Newcastle that sold Mcfarlane figures and the like, and when you get shops that sell things like that you almost allways have anime acompanying them.Howver this was ages ago, I didn't go in and its probably the one you are talking about.

    Other than that, there is A comic store In Carlisle, I would say they have Anime but Ive never been In there either. It might be worth a try.

    Best Place was a shop Called Buckles, Bangles & Bobs. He had a wall full of comics but I never paid them much attention. I wasmore interested in the old Kenner Star Wars figures He had.
    But one day they had to close down, and it was the end of an era :waah:

    Oh how I love you, Jabba the Hutt Playset :baby:


    Dunno if thats much use to you....


    Gawd, Im revealing my rather Nerdy past here...... Oh the Shame, The Shame :waah: :waah:

    yeah it was probably forbidden planet, thats the only anime store in newcastle. I usualy order from japan but on the last few orders I have been getting charged loads of tax Hence finding somewhere descent in the UK.

    Cheers for the info.

    Wish my mate had a website... He just got me FLCL (aka FoolyCooly), such a fantastic, surreal anime :)

    FuriKuri is very excellent, it will warp your mind by the end.

    If you like Furikrui, I'd recommend Puni Puni Poemi, and Excel Saga. I should note however, that Puni Puni Poemi is very, very, very horribly screwed up.

    Hooray for my X.... Yay...... and all my anime... I love Japanese television....... Even though I'm in Canada....:worried: I hope the mods don't see this.....

    I've had those far longer than I've had FLCL. They're on a different level to be honest ;)

    They are on a different level, but still I find those that enjoy Furikuri enjoy those as well.... Also, what oter anime has the hero chopping up a fish to turn it into a weapon of mass destruction?:D
