We'd found a model shop and some comic shops, but is there anything else to check out in the city centre area? Any decent FLGS or the like?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8073277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8073277.page GMT Things for nerds to do in Manchester for the day? GW store, it has a scale sized emperor titan which is about nine feet tall.

Can listen to the stories about how the IRA bombed the last store, and gave the life size space marines actual battle damage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8073900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8073900.page GMT Things for nerds to do in Manchester for the day?

Relapse - some of the older GW stores have all sorts of cool random things like gaming boards. The new ones seem a lot more clinical - nothing you can't buy from GW currently.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8074773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8074773.page GMT Things for nerds to do in Manchester for the day?

Having never been to an US GW shop, I can't answer that. But some of older stores do have a lot of character.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8076037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8076037.page GMT Things for nerds to do in Manchester for the day?

As got UK gaming stores, they're usually tiny, poky places, with little space for cool stuff.
Some do, but they'll be the bigger ones, in cities.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8080117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661231/8080117.page GMT
