    Hi All - wondering if I can get a bit of help.
    Does anyone remember the name of the toy shop that used to be in the omni shopping centre, before the big extension?

    The one just inside the entrance on the left in the 90s? That was Tommy's - full title Tommy's Wonderland of Value. There was one in Northside too.

    Is it the one that used to be outside where the multi-storey car park is, (where the extension is now), used to be beside the outside post office?

    I think it was a Tesco/Crazy Prices toy shop.. Can’t remember the name..

    Or the other one inside the door to the left was Tommys (Permanent TSB now).

    Thanks for the move, wasn't sure which applied ^^;
    No, this one had it's own entrance, as far as I can remember (though I was a young child at the time so I don't have a lot to go off). As another user asked I believe it was where the car park extension is now. I just know it wasn't a Smyth's or Banba so it's been wrecking my head trying to determine what else it could've been!

    I remember it myself, although I was younger too. :P I’ve asked my mother and she reckons that it belonged to Tesco/Crazyprices anyway!

    I’m sure it wasn’t a Toymaster/Smyths branded toy shop... hopefully someone else can remember!

    The row of outdoor shops used to be where the extension starts at New Look.

    I think it was called Toy Crazy, it ran adjacent to the carpark at the left side of the front entrance and has it own independent door with a covered walkway
