AN ISLE of Wight vintage hobby and game shop has announced it is moving as it seeks to expand its stock and offer further services to its customers.

Retro Hobby & Game, on Regent Street in Shanklin, buys and sells all vintage toys, records and almost anything and everything retro.

The shop will soon move into a bigger home, the old Lloyds bank – which closed in July last year – at the very far end of Regent Street, just off the High Street.

This will give the business more space to stock further items, like the return of the retro console arcade, and will allow the store to install additional tables for customers to play Pokémon, Magic, Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and more.

A post on the Retro Hobby & Game Facebook page said: “We buy and sell all things vintage. From Lego to Pokémon, Hornby to RC, anything vintage considered.

“We will also start to stock Magic: The Gathering, Dungeon and Dragons and other cool stuff. We should have Lego within a few months.”
