We run regular gaming events at all our stores, for more details just give us a call, we'd love to tell you about them :) We want to meet other people who feel the same and people who are just curious!

Travelling Man sells things like comics, clothing, and games. It's a nice shop and whoever is working there is normally helpful, as I normally go in for a gift rather than for myself. Prices seem ok too and I just think it's a good shop as if you know anyone who loves comics/role play/games then you are bound to find something for them here.

Great company for nerdy things…

Great company for all things boardgames, D&D and manga! I used to enjoy visiting their shops in Leeds & York, having purchase a few games in person, but unfortunately moved away from the area. I'm happy to say ordering online from them has been a fantastic experience. Very fast shipping and tempted me back with more free shipping on a lower purchase. I ordered over the weekend and received my items today!

Date of experience : September 24, 2024

Value and service

As usual, a great price and prompt delivery from an easily navigated site. Can't see why you'd want anything more. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience, would happily buy from them again 🙂

First time buying from Travelling Man. It was a really good experience. The book was sent out super quickly, and the best part is, I couldn't find it anywhere else! Took a chance on Travelling Man and it seriously paid off 😊 book arrived sealed, no damage, fast shipping. Couldn't ask for more 👍 thank you 😊

Fantastic, Extra mile service!

I contacted Travelling man to enquire wether they had a planned restock on the first few issues of Combat Patrol, Unfortunately there was not one planned but Justin told me he would scour the Warehouse to ensure no copies had been missed. Upon having a look, sadly there were no copies remaining but I was told to give them a couple of days and see what they could do. After the weekend Justin contacted me again and informed me that he had sourced a copy of each and arranged to get them out to me! Absolutely fantastic service, Completely above and beyond, Take a bow guys!

Pokemon Advent Calendar

My son is Pokemon mad and it was super helpful to be notified when the Pokemon advent calendar was back in stock. Super fast delivery. Amazing service. Can't rate this company enough.

Date of experience : September 05, 2024

Easy smooth transaction…

Having been let down by another provider for the same item, the transaction was seamless, and arrived when it should. Wish I'd come here first!

My favourtie shop for manga and graphic novels!

This is a really great company! I've been to their stores and made several online orders and have always had a great experience. They have a really good range of manga and graphic novels, and they are almost always cheaper than buying them at other books stores. If anything is out of stock, they tend to come back in pretty quickly. They also have loads of board games. The stores are nicely laid out and always have friendly, helpful staff. When ordering online, delivery is quick. I've used their customer services before who were very helpful. I had a parcel arrived damaged (this was the fault of the courier), and Travelling Man's customer services team responded to my email quickly and were able to replace my order which was sent out promptly with no issues. I will be going back!

Another good experience with Travelling…

Another good experience with Travelling Man. Good prices and quick dispatches make them one of the first places I check when I'm looking to buy manga.

Date of experience : September 09, 2024

Amazing website

I think Travelling Man is an amazing place to get manga from, they sell manga bellow retail price and they dispatch the packages quickly.

Date of experience : September 03, 2024

Fantastic service

Next day delivery, great communication, competitive prices and quality books. I'm pleased you're able to support a local business via their delivery options as they have a huge range.

Site UX needs some work

Got the items I wanted at a reasonable price. Communications could be clearer - site offers in-store pick up but this is for the warehouse only, not the associated brick-and-mortar stores. The warehouse is then also only open Mon-Fi 9:30-4:30, so a little restricted for pick up times. Resolved pick up in the end but not before a wasted trip to the store! Staff there also did not mention the limited warehouse open hours at the time, nor did the email manager when I expressed my intent to pick up on a Saturday.

Date of experience : August 26, 2024

A look inside the indictment accusing New York City's mayor of taking bribes

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams has never been shy about his globetrotting ways. But he’s not always said how he bankrolled years' worth of overseas adventures.

Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment Thursday saying the Democrat took trips to France, China, Sri Lanka, India, Hungary, Ghana and Turkey that were partly or fully paid for by people looking to buy his influence in city government.

The gifts, prosecutors said, included free hotel rooms, seat upgrades worth thousands of dollars, expensive meals, entertainment — even a trip to a Turkish bath. All told, the perks were worth more than $100,000, prosecutors said.

The indictment also accuses Adams of conspiring to collect illegal donations to his campaigns, partly by funneling them through straw donors who hadn’t actually contributed the money.

Adams says he didn’t do anything wrong and has no plans to resign. His lawyer, Alex Spiro, criticized the charges as a jumble of innuendo meant to mislead the public and tarnish the mayor.

Here are highlights from the 57-page indictment:

Key allegations against Adams

Adams is accused of exploiting a yearslong relationship with people tied to Turkey, who funded his travel and fueled his run for mayor with donations that helped him qualify for more than $10 million in public campaign funds. People who are not U.S. citizens are banned by law from donating to U.S. political candidates.

Prosecutors say Adams returned the favor in September 2021 by ensuring that Turkey's newly built diplomatic tower in Manhattan wouldn't be subject to a fire inspection, which it was certain to fail.

At one point, a Turkish official praised Adams as a “true friend of Turkey,” according to the indictment. Adams allegedly responded: ”Yes even more a true friend of yours. You are my brother. I am hear (sic) to help."

The indictment said Adams also agreed not to release a statement on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day that would reflect poorly on Turkey.

Adams is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bribery and receiving campaign contributions from a foreign national.

Who is named in the indictment?

Adams is the only person charged and the only person identified by name — but there are lots of other characters who factor prominently in the indictment.

There's the “Turkish Official,” a senior official in the Turkish diplomatic establishment said to have arranged Adams' travel perks and facilitated straw donations to his campaign; “The Promoter,” a Turkish entrepreneur who prosecutors say organized events to introduce Adams to Turkish businesspeople; and the “Airline Manager,” a New York City-based general manager for Turkish Airlines who booked Adams' free and heavily discounted flights and business class upgrades.

There were also “Businessman-1,” the owner of a Turkish University who prosecutors say was considering a business venture in Brooklyn; the “Businesswoman,” who gave Adams free or steeply discounted stays in opulent suites at the St. Regis Istanbul, a luxury hotel she owned; plus “Businessman-2,” “Businessman-3,” “Businessman-4,” and “Businessman-5,” all of whom were accused of being involved in straw donations.

‘The Promoter’

Prosecutors said the person they identified as “The Promoter” concocted a plan — personally approved by Adams — to funnel up to $100,000 in banned campaign contributions to him through U.S. employees of a Turkish university, the indictment alleges.

At one point, an Adams staffer tried to discourage the idea, saying Adams likely wouldn’t be interested in “such games” because it “might cause a big stink later on," according to the indictment. But prosecutors said Adams liked the idea and directed his staffer to pursue it.

“The Promoter” purportedly told associates that Adams was worth supporting because he could become president someday.

'This is how things work in this country'

At one point, the indictment says, a construction company owner tried to recruit others in industry and the Turkish community to back Adams with campaign contributions and gifts, writing, in part, this “may feel like swimming against the current but unfortunately this is how things work in this country.”

What does Adams’ lawyer say?

Spiro told reports the conduct described in the indictment wasn’t illegal or didn’t involve the mayor.

The Turkish consulate was asking for “a courtesy,” not payback, when it wanted Adams’ help in skipping a fire inspection, Spiro said, adding: “New Yorkers do this all the time.” Adams said he’d see what he could do and, a few days later, ignored a follow up phone call from the consulate, Spiro asserted.

“There is no corruption. This is not a real case,” Spiro said.

Spiro said Adams sent emails telling his staff never to accept foreign donations.

As for the free flights and upgrades, Spiro said there’s nothing illegal or unusual about that.

“When you actually look at this -- if you just take a second to step back and look at this -- look at the flights they talk about, the travel, the expenses,” Spiro said. “The flight they talk about, that free flight was in 2017 -- seven years ago, five years before he’s the mayor. There’s nothing illegal or improper about that.”

Adams’ flight upgrades put him in otherwise open seats, the defense attorney said, contending that such arrangements are a common practice in the airline industry.

“That’s what airlines do,” Spiro said. “They do it every day. They do it for VIPs. They do it for congresspeople. They’re empty seats that cost the airlines nothing.”

Alleged cover up

The indictment claims that Adams and co-conspirators took steps to cover their tracks, including making a false paper trail to make it appear as if he had fully paid for flights that were free or deeply discounted.

The indictment also accused the mayor and others of making it difficult for investigators.

FBI agents seized electronic devices from Adams last November as he left an event. According to the indictment, the mayor produced two phones but not the personal phone. Adams later turned over that phone in response to a subpoena, but it was locked and required a password.

Adams claimed to have forgotten it, the indictment said.

According to the indictment, an Adams staffer who met with FBI agents excused herself at one point, went to a bathroom and deleted the encrypted messaging app she had used to communicate with the mayor, the Turkish official, the Turkish airline contact and others.

Aces and Liberty set to meet in the WNBA semifinals after playing for the title last year

NEW YORK – The Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty met for the title last season. Now they are playing in the postseason one round earlier, vying for the opportunity to reach the WNBA Finals.

The Liberty have said they are using last season's loss as motivation this year, but aren't dwelling on the defeat in four games.

Recommended Videos

“We’ve got some unfinished business,” New York guard Sabrina Ionescu said. “We’re going to play our best basketball because we’ve got a lot of basketball left in us.”

The Aces were only the No. 4 seed but have been playing a lot better over the last month, winning nine of 10 heading into the postseason and sweeping Seattle in the first round.

The lone loss in that stretch came against New York, but league MVP A'ja Wilson didn't play in that contest while she was resting her foot. The Aces rallied from a 20-point deficit in that contest to almost stun the Liberty.

Neither team is taking much from that game.

This is the first time in the history of the league that the finals participants met in the semifinals. It wasn't possible until 2016, when the league changed its format to go to the top eight teams regardless of conference affiliation making the postseason.

“Obviously the goal isn't just to win in the semifinals, so that's something that's I think kind of weird because we're in a rematch of the final series, which is a little bit unheard of,” Ionescu said. “This is a team we have to get through in order to get to a finals again.”

Minnesota and Los Angeles played in the 2018 opening round after meeting in the finals the year before. The Lynx won the title in 2017 but lost to the Sparks in 2018.

Here are a few things to look for in the series:

Marquee matchup

Wilson and Breanna Stewart have been friendly off the court for years, playing together with USA Basketball at the Olympics and World Championship level. Stewart won the MVP last year and Wilson raised her game this season, breaking the single-season record for scoring average as well as becoming the first player to score more than 1,000 points in a season. Whichever one of the two has a more dominant series should help her team advance.

Liberty players have said all season that they are more connected this year after playing as a unit last season for the first time. New York added rookie Leonie Fiebich to the mix and she was stellar throughout the regular season. The 6-foot-4 wing gives New York more size and shooting. Las Vegas added Tiffany Hayes in the middle of the season, convincing her to come out of retirement. She earned the AP’s Sixth Woman of the Year honors.

Home-court advantage

New York captured the No. 1 seed this year and will play the first two games at home in the best-of-five series. Last season in the WNBA Finals, the Liberty had to go to Las Vegas and returned home facing elimination. New York has had a boisterous crowd all season at home and games have become a place to be for some celebrities.

Ratings and attendance boon

The WNBA delivered its most-watched regular season since 2000 and had the highest attendance in 22 years. The league averaged 9,807 fans, up 48% from last season. The Fever led the way with a single-season record 340,715 fans coming to home games. The Indiana-Connecticut series clinching game for the Sun averaged 2.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched WNBA game ever on cable. The second game of the doubleheader that saw Minnesota beat Phoenix had 1.2 million viewers on average.

Breaking news, man tied to company suspected of supplying explosive pagers to hezbollah declared missing.

The Norwegian-Indian man allegedly tied to the company that helped supply the explosive pagers to Hezbollah has gone missing after traveling to the US, officials said.

Rinson Jose, 39, disappeared while on a trip to Boston last week on the heels of the pager and walkie-talkie explosions that left 39 people dead and more than 3,000 injured in Lebanon in a suspected Israeli attack targeting Hezbollah, Norwegian police said.

“Yesterday, September 25, the Oslo police district received a missing person report in connection with the pager case,” Oslo police told Reuters. “A missing persons case has been opened, and we have sent out an international warrant for the person.”

Jose was identified as a person of interest in the case following reports that his Bulgarian-based company, Norta Global Ltd., had helped the pagers reach Hezbollah.

Rinson, who founded the company in 2022, has not been seen since leaving for a conference in Boston on Sept. 17, the same day the pagers were detonated.

Reporters were able to briefly contact him over the phone following the attack, with Rinson declining to comment before going completely dark the following day.

His colleagues at the DN Media Group, where he was listed as an employee in the sales department on LinkedIn, said they last heard from him on Sept. 18 via email, according to Norwegian media.  

Bulgarian officials said they have investigated the claims against Norta Global and found no evidence that the company had a role in making or exporting the booby-trapped pagers.

The search for Jose comes as Taiwan is also investigating the case following reports that Gold Apollo, based in the Asian nation, manufactured the pagers used in the attack.

Taiwan has refuted the claims and has so far questioned four people in the ongoing investigation, including Gold Apollo’s president and founder, Hsu Ching-kuang, and Teresa Wu, the sole employee of a company called Apollo Systems.

“We are processing this case expeditiously and seeking resolution as soon as possible,” said a spokesperson for the Shilin District Prosecutors Office in Taipei.

Following the deadly pager attacks and follow-up walkie-talkie explosions, reports emerged that the Israeli spy agency Mossad had intercepted the shipment of communication devices five months ago and rigged them with pentaerythritol tetranitrate, a highly explosive material.

They were implanted with as little as 1 to 2 ounces of the explosive, allegedly placed next to each battery along with a switch that could be triggered remotely,  sources told the New York Times .
