... imagine my surprise when I was strolling through Leeds City Centre on Tuesday past - and caught sight of this shop (opposite the Opera House):

Unfortunately nothing too exciting ... .

Some LW teams and some Zeugo stuff.

But, nice to see it.

Later, when I found my way to Games Workshop in Leeds and got into conversation with one of the members of staff, it turned out that he was aware of this 'Subbuteo' shop.

Pleasant surprise indeed. Very Happy

I suppose Subbuteo falls into the "Retro-Games" category that this shop deals with. Wink

Bet you got a bit excited before you crossed the road though Ian!!

I would have run across without any thought for my own safety!!

Yeah, disappointed when I did get right up close to that window - and discovered there were no HW Teams/figures Sad

Were the LW teams reasonably priced?

no looting took place in Leeds during the recent riots. Wonder if it will now Wink

seriously though, its nice to see it in a shop for a change. Hopefully there will be a lot more shops like this in the summer when the netcam stuff gets released Smile

£5 for each of them, apart from the Leeds LW that was priced at £10 Wink

Certainly would be terrific to see Subby back in the shops again.

Guy in the shop said that they don't often see much Subbuteo. Hit on a good week..... Very Happy
