I just saw an unconfirmed report that my dream has come true and the Horror Makeup Show Telepods have shown up in the retro store!
Has anyone heard the same?

I'm really interested in what happens to this space post new store opening
Rumors here have point to a new food location, but we'll see
I'm also very interested in confiscating several of the IOA models in the store.

I hope it at least hangs around until November. I would very much like to get a photo with the Telepods (I'm a big fan of both THE FLY and the original USF Horror Makeup Show), and the last time they were displayed (in what is now the Bourne exit shop), it was between trips for me and they'd been removed by the time I got back there again!
I've also heard that apparently the shop is installing some kind of video presentation of old attraction preshow films (!), but I've yet to see specifics of what this might entail.
Think this will be two stores: The Universal Studios Store and the Universal Orlando Parks Store? I get the vibe any replacements that involve major construction won't happen for a year or two, at least.

I agree, Universal acknowledging its park history is such a new thing to me, I'm savoring every moment of it being around

It really seems to me that they are setting the place up as a Universal Parks Tribute Store/EU Preview Ctr. I mean a model of EU would be thematically consistant in a store decorated with IOA models. Kind of a Universal Parks Past, Present, and Future store.
Sell past attraction merchandise like Kongfrontation, BttF, Earthquake/Disaster!, Dueling Dragons, Jaws, Hitchcock, etc. Current attraction merch like Skull Island, Velocicoaster, and RotM. Along with EU attraction merch like Bowser's Challenge/ Yoshi's Adventure, and some of the other EU headliners.
They should also work on some "Collectibles". A working Caro-Seuss-Sel music box, a resin IOA Lighthouse, ride vehicle replicas, etc.

Anyone see the new crate setup in the store? Looks like it could be a possible new checkout area.

I’m more excited for this store than I am for the big new Studios store

I wish the “Legacy” on the main sign matched the centerline of Universal and Store instead of the baseline. It was probably easier this way, but it hurts the look a bit having this much height discrepancy IMO. Makes it more obvious that they added a new word to an old sign.

I love this store and I hope it's permanent.
I remember there was a thread a while ago asking if Universal was nostalgic and I think the answer is now yes.
@Alicia is posting some great stuff.

Looks like my article is already outdated.
