Every single Maplin store in the country closed down nearly 7 years ago
I was expecting no results, but apparently the stores are still there, unused.
They're still on Google maps, but the stores will have long since been turned into vapes shops and such.
The loss of maplins has made my Amazon boycott somewhat difficult, though not impossible, but there's just no way to get small parts and adapters same day now, always have to wait for delivery. PC world used to have some stuff, but now it's rolled into Currys you only get packaged stuff and peripheral cables and such. Sometimes Screwfix has what I need but it's somewhat rare. They did have a bunch of audio a networking stuff last I looked though.
Does CPC.co.uk still exist? Used to use them all the time
Yep, they're great. I used them to buy some LEDs and battery holders for my miniatures.
I've given up on PC world now. I went in once and asked and they don't even sell graphics cards anymore. What's the actual point in them?
All they do now printers and pre-built PCs. Which are always terrible value.
I miss Maplin, I still use stuff I bought from there
such a solid hobby shop, I feel like I've lost my budding early adult years
Aylesbury shut maybe a decade ago.
The one in Charlton became a Wilko.
That unit has a curse on it.
