Miniatures Stores in Barcelona and London

Post by Mossbeard »

Hi, just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of good miniature gaming stores for fantasy football miniatures in the London area or Barcelona, Spain. I am going on holiday to the UK and Spain later this spring and as I don't have much chance to buy minis where I live in Canada, so I thought this would be a good chance to have a look.

In Barcelona there's a new one called "the curiosity shop" that stocks most of coximinios propucts.

Here you have their facebook I'm sure they have conexions with apostol and if you want to preorder before your trim something special they could have it for you ready.

Hi Mossbeard,

Txapo is right! If you visit Barcelona, don't forget to visit the Curiosity Shop. They're our partners, so you can find there all the items on sale on Comixininos. :wink:

It would be a very good idea that before you visit them you send them a message telling them the items you're interested in, to make sure that they will have them in stock when you will visit the store.

I stopped by twice, once in the early evening on Sunday and then again the next morning but the Curiosity Shop was closed both times. Not sure if they don't keep regular hours or if it was because of some festival or holiday. Was disappointing to not get to have a look around as it will likely be a long time before I return to Barcelona.

Comixininos has a banner saying they're on holiday until the 24th, so if the store is just a brick and mortar version of the web site, they might well be closed for that duration as well.

Soo, for London? Nothing?

I tried to find something downtown last year. Googled and read that Orc's Nest in Earlham Street would be one of my best options. They had plenty of games, but looking for miniatures, I wasn't very impressed.

Soo, is that all you UK people have to offer?

if you are flying to London, I would suggest instead flying to Southend Airport direct from Barcelona and visiting Wayland Games, huge gaming facility (tabletop nation) and they sell loads of stuff

Wayland doesn't have any fantasy football related toys unfortunately but it's got lots of other gaming stock for sure. It's based in Hockley in Essex.

Dark Sphere is in London and it has a big range of products. None fantasy football related again though.

I've worked in the city of London for the last 27 years and I live 30 minutes away from Wayland - I buy all my stuff online :roll:
