Planet Consoles

PlanetConsoles is a gaming and collectibles shop in Birkirkara, one of the busiest towns in the centre of Malta. It sells video game consoles and games, Funko Pop! figures, high-end collectible statues, televisions and audio equipment, vinyl records and trading card games, and it also runs an online shop. In our directory it is listed under both toy shops in Malta and electronics shops in Malta.

For a UK gamer or collector, it covers much of the ground you would expect from a specialist games shop at home, with a Maltese address and euro prices that include VAT. The shop imports the brands it sells and works to a simple line: quality products with service to follow. Its website also carries a news section on the gaming world in Malta, a Beyond the Shelf page and an Our Brands page, so it is worth a browse before you visit.

Gaming: consoles, games and accessories

The gaming section is organised by platform. PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox each have their own areas for consoles, games and accessories, and Nintendo Switch has a section of its own. There is a retro consoles and games range, a pre-order section for upcoming releases, and sections for gaming monitors, desks and chairs, and cables and electronics.

Retro and nostalgia products appear among the featured items, for example the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Anniversary Edition at €149.99, and a white edition of The Spectrum at €149.99, a streamlined take on the classic home computer.

Funko Pop! and collectibles

Funko Pop! is a headline range, split into standard figures, exclusives, special editions, convention items, super-sized pieces, Pop! Moments, Rides and Deluxe, as well as advent calendars, Funko covers and pre-orders. Funko collectors will recognise the sections.

For bigger budgets, the collectibles area covers statues, mini statues and busts in scales from 1/10 up to 1:1 replicas, along with figures, lights, katanas, die-cast models, Hot Wheels, movie posters, frames and sticker albums. A Marvel Thanos desk light is shown at €29.99, reduced from €44.99. There is also a Protect Your Collection area for display and storage.

TV, audio, vinyl and trading cards

The TV and audio section includes televisions in a range of sizes, TV brackets and stands, sound systems and sound bars, and headphones. Music fans can browse vinyl LPs, turntables, record storage and cleaning kits.

Trading card games have their own section, with stickers, single cards, accessories, Disney Lorcana and booster boxes, as well as LEGO. Gift vouchers are sold for anyone unsure what a gamer would like.

Delivery, hours and finding the shop

Delivery is free when you spend over €50, and prices on the website are shown including VAT, which makes budgeting simple for a UK visitor used to tax-inclusive shelf prices. The shop's account form lists towns and villages across Malta and Gozo, from Valletta and Sliema to Mellieħa and Victoria. The address is Triq Tumas Fenech, Birkirkara. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 15:00 to 19:00 and Saturday 9:00 to 13:00, so a weekday visit needs to be in the afternoon, and the shop is closed on Sundays and public holidays.

Our Valletta guide and things to do in Malta guide are useful for the rest of the day. Nearby directory pages include the A-Store electronics shop and A4 Malta private tours and excursions. For an evening out, see 97Notes entertainment venue.
