I see The Entertainer is opening its first Scottish shop this month, in Glasgow. Good news for those north of the border. www.toyworldmag.co.uk/?p=17444 |

Another toy shop in Glasgow? Excellent news for everyone except me and the two branches of Toys'r'us.

In what way would it be bad for you young Nick?
Isn't there also a Smyths in Glasgow now? So that's 5 toy shops in Glasgow to my knowledge.

Town centre, one bus.
We've got a TRU on the outskirts of town but given Swindon's size I'm really surprised that neither Smyths or the Entertainer have tried here before since the only other toy retailers are Argos (x2), Asda (x2), Tescos and one of the Sainsburys

You're probably pronouncing it wrong Phil, Smyths sounds like Smiths, not Smythes.

There's one Smiths and they sell Newspapers.....
.... which is maybe why Smyths won't come to Swindon as WHS has a distribution centre and offices here

The Smyths in Charlton is in a retail park with a WHSmiths, most people can tell the difference.
I think the main reason for not opening a Smyths in Swindon would be economic, but give them time, they've expanded a lot since they opened and TRU are hardly competition these days.

Swindon Entertainer officially opens today. Off down there with Jonathan so he can meet the Red Power Ranger

Hope you have a great time. And hopefully no Sentai Monsters will attack whilst you are there. (Does Swindon have a handy abandoned warehouse district just in case?)

Between a veteran Red and a fine young Grey Ranger it looks like Swindon was well and truly safe.

The one in Glasgow is a bit rubbish, it's too small.
Had my first trip to Smyths at the Fort last week. It was brilliant, almost took me back to being a boy walking round the Jolly Giant store in Glasgow.
We spent 2 and a half hours in it and that was with an 11 month old who didn't really know what was going on and couldn't ask for anything. When he gets old enough to ask for stuff it's going to cost me a fortune.

Didn't have time.
Was working today, and had some other things to do as I have a party to head to tonight.
