Planning a trip to Stockholm in the near future, could someone recomend a good store in the area, mainly looking for stores with good discounts, selling used armies and generally keeping good stocks avalible or somewhere inbetween those?

My two latest trips to Sweden merly netted me some half empty blue shelfs hidden in the darkest depths in some toy store, ive tried using the store finder but its a little vague what the stores in question can offer.

I merly ask since I live on a island some distance away, wich nets very little time for actual shopping since most of the day goes to actual travelling.

It has been a while since I was there, but:
SF Bokhandeln
Västerlånggatan 48
Stockholm

http://www.sfbok.se/

(from the dakka store finder) was excellent a couple of years ago. General nerdy bookstore downstairs, but great wargaming and board game selection upstairs.

Cant recall stockholm having any discount stores and ive lived there for 2 years

It is the SF bookstore that is the best and easiest to find (mentioned above).
But second hand armies won't be found here.

Otherwise your left to leave the inner city and take a trip to the suburbs.

(best use google translate if your Swedish studies is falling behind).

I also can recommend SF Bokhandeln as a store (on central island Gamla Stan). But then again I also like the books, board games and RPGs.
There is an official GW store in the store finder.
The third one in the store finder is Dragon's Lair, but is disappointing for everything except online gaming (a dozen or so computers).

Seems Ill be going for alphaspel, better prices of the alternatives and appears to have larger stocks in their store over SF

I definitely recommend Alphaspel. They moved house recently and I haven't yet been to their new store, but their old store was the tops, and so is their webstore. Good guys, alright prices and a massive stock.

Just keep in mind it isn't in central Stockholm, so you'll have to travel a little.
