| I thought it might be useful to make a thread like this. ^_^ I'll start off with some of the more well known places: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/home.do http://www.borders.co.uk/ http://hmv.com/hmvweb/home.do http://www.zavvi.co.uk/zavvi/home.dept http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ http://www.up1.co.uk/ Feel free to add more if you know of any. :) |
| Book depository is amaze. www.play.com as well dude. They sometimes have bargains on DVD/Manga, plus there's playtrade. But Book depository is the tits for manga. Lol. |
 |
| I usually use www.play.com too as they are cheaper than what they are in shops. There is also a collecters shop in Glasgow I go to called Forbidden Planet. The site is http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/ If I cant find a series then I order it at http://www.justmanga.com/ where it is delivered straight from Japan |
 |
| http://skyjapan.net/ former ebay seller now operating their own site, decent prices on the whole and free delivery, mostly japanese imported stock do HMV still have an anime section? i've picked up some movies for next to nothing in the past, but last time i looked the section had gone |

| There's a chain called Travelling Man who are quite good, at least the one in Newcastle is. I don't know where any others are apart from York and Leeds. The Forbidden Planet in Newcastle is different to the one in Edinburgh too. www.forbiddenplanet.com www.travellingman.com |
 |
| If you live in London then there are 2 stores to look out for: - Orbital Manga - Forbidden Planet. Both stores are around the Charing Cross/Tottenham Court area. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| there's also an forbidden planet in Middlesbrough in the town center pretty small but still really good |
| www.tokyotoys.com - UK-based store, have a shop in the Trocadero in Picadilly, London. There are a few Forbidden Planets around, such as Croydon and Southampton too. CEX can be useful if you can find something you want. There's also a place called Dave's Comics in the North Lanes in Brighton not too far from the station, they sell a few figures really cheap sometimes and have a decent selection of often hard to find manga (Uzumaki & BLAME! ♥). |
| There are Forbidden PLanet stores all over the place, but the manga prices there have shot up recently, bought Parasyte vol. 6 the other day for £9 o__O Better to go online and order them from places like Amazon and Play, they also have some good deals sometimes and it's usually always cheaper. |

Master_M2K said: If you live in London then there are 2 stores to look out for: - Orbital Manga - Forbidden Planet. Both stores are around the Charing Cross/Tottenham Court area. Yup, Orbital used to be pretty competative price wise until Viz started putting UK RRP's on their manga. You could give Gosh a try. It's just of Tottenham Court Road. There's a place in Nottingham called Page 45 and according to Rebellion (publishers of 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine) it's one of the top stores in the country when it comes to manga and comics. |
| I'd recommend Gosh. Their prices are pretty good and they stock more unknown manga as well as the popular stuff, so there is a few good discoveries to be made there. I don't really think too highly of Orbital - they never seem to have full series in or first volumes of things. Forbidden Planet of course have amazing stock but their prices are something else. All three stores are very near each other though so I guess it's worth visiting all three. Gosh is down on Great Russell Street. Fopp on Earlham Street is a pretty good place to buy anime, but half of the stuff is overpriced. Nevertheless, a few bargins here and there. It's near Gosh, Orbital and Forbidden Planet as well. Convenient. |
| Are the DVDs that SkyJapan sell bootlegs? I can see that this thread was started a while back, so I hope to hear back from someone, but I will understand if I don't. ^_^ |
| Of all the listed sites in this thread, the cheapest to get fairy tail mangas seems to be book depository. But its still around £5.50 per volume, meaning if i were to get all the english released volumes, id have to pay 160 pounds. Thats ALOT to me. Does anyone know someplace else to get mangas for cheap. Btw, i went into waterstones the other day and they were selling em for £7 a volume, thats like £209 for 29 vols. damn. |

ONLINE ANIME STORE, FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE iigears.com |
| I've been buying anime and manga for more than five years, so thought I would chip in with some of my preferred online shops for anime (or at least the ones that haven't been mentioned yet): Anime-On-Line - This store is owned by the guys who run MVM, so you will find their BluRays and DVDs at great prices here. They sell other distributors products too, along with manga/novels and some merchandise. Top notch customer service. They send everything by first class Royal Mail. Payments by card or PayPal. All the Anime - The official webstore of Anime Limited. They occasionally have limited time 'Early Bird' deals for their upcoming releases. They only sell their own products. The best customer service you will find anywhere. They will send everything by first class Royal Mail, but often you won't get a dispatch email until after the postie has delivered it. If you order something really expensive (like £100+) then they might use UPS instead. Payment by card or PayPal. And some for manga/novels: SpeedyHen - Their prices can often be the best you can find for light novels. They also sell DVDs and BluRays but at slightly high prices. Small items will be sent through Royal Mail second class, and anything bigger by Yodel courier. Payment by card or PayPal. Wordery - Their prices fluctuate a lot, so it's worth keeping an eye on whatever it is you want for a few weeks until you see it at a good price, assuming you have the patience for that. Superb customer service in my experience. They normally use second class Royal Mail, though for a few quid extra you can get faster delivery if they have it in stock at their warehouse. Payment by card or PayPal. |
| Lowplex has really good prices, but there isn't much of a selection. |
