Friendly and helpful

The team at Toy Planet have always been helpful and friendly when in store. The staff have a variety of expertise and will always point you in the right direction. I initially started off buying a few SNES games here and there and now visit a few times a week with my kids. Theyre excellent
at running clubs for children and understanding their customers needs.
I can only wish that they can continue to grow to fulfil their ever demanding customer base.

A feast of toys and games

A feast of toys and games! 3 of my top 5 Vintage Star Wars items have come from this shop. I’m not sure how he does it but Steve (manager) is like the toy whisperer! Outside of just Vintage Star Wars the shop has expanded and moved premises twice since I first shopped there due to their continued success and the demand for shops like this. I love the community vibe and his annual charity events. Top Marks!! I drive an hour for this shop, it’s worth it.

Very Disappointed with the dishonest…

Very Disappointed with the dishonest staff and advertising at this shop!

Bought some second hand lego mini figures that were priced in a cabinet, paid for them at the counter, as soon as the transaction was finished the staff removed a part of the mini figures and informed me it would cost extra for this part!!!!!

This was not stated anywhere in the shop and i was only informed after they took my money!!!!

I think this might even be illegal, false advertising.

I Felt this was absolutely not fair and would be awful to see a child ( the main clientele of this shop) disappointed in this way!!!!

Cannot recommend enough

Cannot recommend enough. Have purchased ps5's from them twice (for different family members). This time UPS temporarily misplaced them and Steve couldn't have been more helpful in resolving. They turned up a couple of days later but they were happy to refund (thankfully not necessary). Five star service, absolutely spot on.

Ordered online the item showed in stock. A week later hadn’t had a shipping notification so messaged them and was refunded. Waste of time.

AVOID LIKE COVID

If I could give 0 stars I would.

Pre ordered a ps5, assured me he could get them and then when he ‘secured more stock’ offered me another for my brother who was looking.

Release day - emailed at 3:15 to say it was cancelled, called him, he knew he wouldn’t get stock.

2 weeks on, he finally admits he hadn’t refunded me. Blamed the merchant, I’m £600 down but he can’t help. Tells me when it’s sorted, he’d transfer me (more lies) he never did. I’m sure he just didn’t have the money in the bank so it bounced. I got it eventually but not worth the stress.

Absolute nightmare chasing, I mean chasing as he hasn’t returned any of my calls, it’s all me calling him, to get my £600 back.

Finally sorted and in these uncertain times when we should all support local businesses, I wouldn’t ever ever support a local business again.

I located others who’d left reviews via Facebook. This experience wasn’t just me.

Great local business

Great local business. Steve and the team are always friendly and helpful and will welcome you to the shop.

Me and the kids often pop in on the weekends to have a look, the stock changes frequently so its always worth a browse.

Good prices and friendly staff.

They delete bad reviews on google. Dishonest business practices

This store deleted bad reviews from facebook and google!!! A lot of people were lied about PS5 preorders and only found out they were not getting them 24h before they were due. There are excuses about "how business works" but its false as they knew they are getting 20 PS5s in the first batch back in September and had opportunity to fix over selling. But chose not to, it is not how business works.

10/10 for a great service

10/10 for a great service, had no issues ordering and delivered exactly on time. People reviewing after missing out on PS5s are being very unfair on a fantastically run, decent local business who’s fault it was not. Hats off to the toy planet team and as soon as lockdown is finished my son is desperate for me to take him there too! Thank you guys, I’m glad to spend my money outside of the likes of Amazon.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service, pre ordered a ps5, they kept in regular contact, warned that stock wasn't guaranteed but they would try their best. Ps5 delivered on release day, i have a soon to be 7 year old boy who will be absolutely made up. Please ignore the negative reviews regarding pre order, really unfair given that there was a warning they were not guaranteed. To leave a poor review of a small business in this economic climate is a pretty shoddy thing to do. Not cool

Great Experience, give them a try

Such a great place to have available in Wantage.
A great team that is led by Steve.
Have purchased a few things from them but today was extra special as I picked up my PS5 and some extras.
I was kept informed throughout the pre order process and they responded quickly to all my really annoying “is it here yet” questions.
I recommend everyone to give the shop a try, I guarantee you will buy something.
Ignore the nay-sayers, try it for yourself.
Well done guys!
