Rainbow Plaza

The only other shop in Llantwit Major’s Pound Plaza alongside the mighty Filco is Rainbow Plaza. And what a freaking awesome shop it is. The ground floor is nothing too exciting, just newspapers, magazines, gift cards, stationery, chocolate bars, that kind of thing, but if you head up the stairs to the right, then boy does it get good.
Up here you’ll find a proper toy shop alongside a DVD rental operation and the only place in Llantwit Major to sell CDs and DVDs. The selection of CDs is a bit rubbish but the toy side of things is frankly brilliant. I’ve never seen so many box fresh board games. They’ve got both Cardiff and Swansea editions of Monopoly (surely they’re all brown squares in Swansea? Boom! Take that Jacks!). They even have the table top cricket game that I always wanted as a kid.
With an impressive array of Lego toys, huge cuddly toys, a Games Workshop section, and some toys for girls (phhmp! Whatever…), Rainbow Bargains is a cracking little shop that is very difficult to leave without whipping your wallet out.
