Awesome that store looks so cute and its made that entrance even more gorgeous

No Sing merch? No Hello Kitty parody of Get Out? They still think Scooby Doo is worth licensing?

1/10. The 1 is for the Build-A-Bow section.

I get Hogsmeade vibes when I see the Hello Kitty shop. Very tight space but super well themed. It doesn't need to be any bigger or smaller. It's a nice fit.

Inside the store, guests can find merchandise from Illumination Entertainment, Sanrio, and DreamWorks Animation.

The store was open for people to go in yesterday! Really nice store, though it never had that many people in it compared to the other places (went once in the morning and once in the evening)

The store has been open, although the times I've been (aside from the "official" preview), it's been sans Hello Kitty. Also, the courtyard next door is still being worked out. Based on a peek behind the construction scrim, there does appear to be a nice fountain in the center of it. I imagine it'll mostly be seating in that area.

It also makes me think that there's a lot of retail all down that entry way. Maybe too much? Is there any sort of hint maybe something else may go away in the future?

I haven't heard of anything specific, but taking out WaterWorld, Hollywood & Dine, and Feature Presentation would free up a pretty solid amount of space. Feature Presentation always seemed a little excessive to me; like it was just a place for all the extra stuff they couldn't fit into USS. Of course, I can't remember a time when it didn't have Harry Potter merch, so take that with a grain of salt.

Those all just got renovated. Only one i see gone is Waterworld

Very beautiful store and building. Glad USH's entrance row is now (mostly) complete.

Universal is highly under-using the Hello Kitty brand... I'm just going to leave this here...

The First-Ever Hello Kitty Grand Cafe Is Opening, And My Inner Child CAN'T EVEN

Scroll down to the last part... Universal should redo the A.S.S. to include a "Bow Room Bar" haha

Agreed....and every time I've walked into the massive HelloKitty store at USF's entrance, it's as empty, or emptier, than the Lucy display (which I really enjoyed) that was there previously.

 

[Wesker69]

Oh yea.. forgot about this... it was posted yesterday.

BREAKING NEWS:
"The Bride of Franken-Kitty" will make her debut at Universal Hollywood on monday!
(at least that is the plan)

 

[Viator]

ASS is beginning to receive merchandise oriented to the Illumination rendition of The Grinch.

 

[Wesker69]

Here's that neon 50th Anniversary window signage... unfortunately it was still twilight out, so yay reflections. Also the doors were open because guests gotta spend that money on the way out....




Didn't get a pic, BUT they are definitely making an effort to keep the Hello Kitty Chucky merch in stock. So I'm glad that has remained a permanent section.
