BIG ONES: The hottest things at TLPS right now
Hey all… There are some things in stock at The Last Picture Show right now that are flying out of the shop as fast as we can get them in for you.
What are they? Rather unsurprisingly, Michael Jackson posters are proving to be massively popular in the wake of the superstar’s death, but we’ve also just had in a dumpbin of new Robert Pattinson posters too, which are proving very...

Comic book geeks doing comic book geek things
I am repeatedly amused as well as pleased by the enthusiasm of my colleagues every day. Believe me, running a shop isn’t easy, and it humbles me that we can stay so into the stuff we do every day. We still look forward to the latest deliveries of movie collectibles, comics and graphic novels. We’re still thrilled when someone adds us on the Starstore Myspace page or on the Starstore...

Watching the Watchmen
We’re blessed here, we really are. With our shop located directly underneath one of the biggest cinema complexes in the north of England, we are always a first stop for many film fans who want to come and geek out about what they’ve just seen. Of course, right now that is even more fun, thanks to a little film with a yellow logo.
Yeah, the Watchmen movie figures have been flying out,...

At our Best
This really is the perfect time to come over and say hi at The Last Picture Show, as the Christmas debris has been swept up, the shop restocked, the staff shaved and showered, and the place generally sorted out. The shop hasn’t looked this good in months, largely down to the chaos of Christmas. We did try and keep up with everything over the festive period, but all that tinsel was liable to...
Supplies!
Remember folks, if you need comic bags, magazine bags, comic boxes, boards or whatever in the way of supplies to keep your collectiuons safe, we can order them in for you. Keeping comics and magazines in premium condition is important to all collectors, and you can do iut perfectly with acid-free bags and purpose-made comic boxes, which are available in two sizes. Come to the counter if...
The Perfect Time
Just a quick heads-up to anyone wanting information or pointers on the big things for the year ahead, as well as movies, merchandise, comics, TV and everything else. This is the perfect time of year to come in and ask us whatever you want to know! So don’t be a stranger, just BE stranger!

This is gonna be big.
Catching up with stock is a tricky business at this time fo year. While many of our suppliers have been taking a (rather well-earned) holiday over the festive period and new year, we’ve been soldiering on. Thus, there’s a ton of stuff being reordered and restocked this week and next, and things can get back to as normal as they can ‘round these parts.
It’s gonna be huge...
The joys of printed matter
Just when we were feeling the burn of a New Year’s Eve shift (equal parts busy and quiet), Rich and I were treated to the sight oif eight boxes bearing the Diamond logo being wheeled into our humble emporium. Bleh, did I type emporium? Sorry, bit of a lapse into being quirky. Sorry. Eight boxes of unexpected goodness had been delivered, and thus the afternon became a whirl of unpacking,...

The Grand Shuffle
As the dust settles following Christmas, the shop needs a move-around. Thus here is the Grand Shuffle- that bit of the year where we get the place looking good in time for the next batch of merchandise to arrive. I do this sort of thing regularly, probably on a weekly basis here, just to keep things interesting for us and you, and I have grown to love doing so. Why? Because you never know what...
Welcome to The Last Picture Show: Do You Grok?
Klaatu Barrada Nitko! Yeah, you know it baby. We are the comics and collectibles shop in the Meadowhall Centre in Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping Centre. You may have visited our Starstore movie and TV collectibles site, or our famous Starstore blog. This Tumblr blog is for us, the staff of The Last Picture Show, to bring you the latest news from the shop itself. There’s a ton of stuff...
