Terrific Scientific

Terrific Scientific, at 51 Booth Street, Annandale, is the sort of shop that would have made me pass out with excitement when I was a child. All toy shops should be like this. Here, Yoda rubs shoulders with the Tardis and a T-Rex; there are creepy crawlies, and bionic ears, and kites, and skeletons, and things that jiggle, squish, stretch, or glow in the dark. A cohort of miniaturised knights and evil horses stand ready for action; a mournful Chewbacca mask graces the wall; and a benign bear guards the door.
