At the front of the Store was a pink golf cart with a big "SE" for Sharpey Evans on the front, and it was autographed by the kids from HSM!!!! Ok, geeky. They had loads of Nightmare, PotC, Cars and Tinkerbell Fairies merchandise, and some unique pieces. I had a long conversation with the lead, and she said they will be introducing pin trading at the Store in the new year. And they even had adult clothes!!! I couldn't believe it. After I left the store, I walked down regent street and ended up in Soho. While there I bumped into Patrick Stewart on his way to McBeth. And also bumped into Kelly Osborne hobbling along. For the brits here, also bumped into Jennifer Ellison and Charlie from Big Brother (busy evening). Ended up in a Japanese restaurant where I was the only white guy, and the menu was in Japanese 1st and English second. It was awesome - Gyoza, YakiSabo and Green Tea for £10 ($20). A bargain by Soho standards. Walked to Picadilly Circus and enjoyed the lights before catching the tube to Kings Cross where I was stuck for an hour due to train break downs. It was an interesting evening.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Pirate Princess, I would agree with you on the Old Regent Street property, it used to be on par with the San Francisco Union Square location. The new flagship store is sadly about the size of a New Orlean's Square Store and usually has the charm of a character warehouse - that's why I was so pleasantly surprised.

Cyber Candy have a store round there as well! I was at the Disney Store in Dundee last weekend and they do indeed have some very cool NBC stuff at the moment!!!
