Hawkins Bazaar is in the Old Market Centre. It is next to a surf shop and Card Warehouse. This shop…read moresells all types of toys; new, old and not too expensive either. It is quite a large store. The staff are helpful. The small gifts they sell inside are good for party bags or just small gifts to give to people. They have some books at the back which are good. At the front of the shop they have interesting gadgets that are good to look at. All the products inside are good quality and very fun. I would recommend visiting this shop if you want a gag, a joke or a funny book for someone.

It is good size store, that always seems well stocked. The staff are friendly, knowledgable and very helpful. The smaller pocket money gifts are ideal for party bags/stocking fillers! I have found that some of the products are cheeper online but it's worth taking a look.

Its massive inside and has a range of stock to suit everyone from babies to teenagers. What i've always loved is that they have lots of toys on display too so you can see what things are like out of the box and I always remember skating down an aisle or my brother n a little bike trying to mow me down! It makes it fun for the children and adults as well.

Toy's R Us is arguably one of the biggest toy companies in the world. Since the old Toy's R Us got…read moreknocked down in Cardiff a few years ago, a sad day was had by all. No longer would we go to the store to pick up a lightsaber and pretend to be in Star Wars and no longer would we experience the joy and happiness that filled our hearts.... Until now! Toys R Us is back and better in a new location down Cardiff Bay I must admit that I was never a big fan of the other Toy's R Us because it seemed dark and unfriendly. But now there have been some big changes to the current store filled with the brightest lights and the bubbliest of people. This is a gigantic store that a child could get lost in for months. It has such a fantastic variety of toys and I can live my dream once again and pretend to have a lightsaber fight in order to defeat the dark side. The number of aisles are staggering but there is always an assistant prepared to help if you need some help about an item or just finding your way around the store. Toy's R Us has the renovation it needed. It is now a happy and bright place that is filled with all the toys in the world along with excellent service. What more could you need from your favourite toy store?

This is a pretty big store, full of toys!…read more Pretty much everything a child could wish for, I guess. And lots more. I've only come here a few times because I found that I could get the same thing for less else where. The staff seem more interested in conversing with each other, which was another deterrent. But if you can't find what you want, it's bound to be here.

Inside the toys are separated out into sections for easy navigation although if you are lost don't hesitate to ask someone everyone is very helpful. Prices are normally around the RRP so average really but with a lot of choice it is easy to buy all you need in one place Be prepared for it to get busy near Christmas though.

The variety of toys and equipment is excellent and the discovery design of the whole store is one that encourages you to explore further. I wonder what is round the next corner is constantly in ones mind. It is bright, cheerful, friendly and just a wonderful experience. The range of toys etc is quite comprehensive too and the staff very friendly and interactive with customers. Do recommend you give it a visit. Global Nomad

No-one seems to mind an hour's bouncing followed by only spending £1 on a packet of crayons. There are also chickens to feed and eggs to buy and you can pick up windfall apples in the orchard in the autumn.

I appreciate this place will only hold a small interest to the majority of people in Cardiff, but if you're a child of the 80s and resolutely deny the call to grow up that society places upon you, then this place is freaking ace-a-tron. So many memories are contained with its four dark walls. WWF figures, those tiny models of footballers with massive heads that rarely looked like the actual person, Simpson Figurines, Atari stuff, a Super Nintendo in the original Street Fighter II box that I received for Christmas when I was 9. There's a small section of girls toys, but really 80s Toy Shop is all about the boys. It's a tad pricey, but then this places saves you the time and effort of trawling eBay or trudging around boot sales. 80s Toy Shop is a must for any manboy between the ages of 21-40.

Many of the products are boxed and in excellent condition, and when there is something incomplete the staff will point it out to you. Some of September's new products include a Mego Spiderman 12" play figure for the boys out there, or an Anastasia 'Fantasy in Paris' for the girls - then there's a Nintendo Nes Console for any retro gaming geeks, complete with controller and power supply! Although they run an online shop as well as their store in Canton, it's better to drop into the shop if you can because their online shop doesn't always show all of the latest stock (although they do update it regularly).

Given the quality of the items on sale, the toys here are relatively cheap and you'll be able to find a present to suit your budget.
