Also picked up a pin badge, poster, and scarab beetle souvenir, but can't find any pics of those at the moment.

Ah nice, that looked a really interesting exhibition.

Wow was it good? Been thinking of going afterwork one evening as the gallery should be quieter than on weekends and cheaper tickets off peak. I was disappointed to find out that the death mask used on the advertisements is not there though.

It was amazing, i knew the death mask wouldn't be there though as it's not allowed to leave Egypt by law, though i will add that there is a replica of it on display in the gift shop.

Here's a closer look at the main exhibition...

Hobonichi Weeks 2020 diary/planner an and A6 square ruled notebook for college, as well as a free red/blue/black ink pen and pen clip. Usually import them directly from Japan but couldn't be strawberry floated with the import charges so I just went through a 3rd party on Facebook.

Thrilling stuff Maf

Paper is really, really good quality and doesn't bleed ink through.

Uniqlo now have Dragon Ball T-Shirts & Hoodies....picked up 2 along with 3 other tee's

I blame you guys for this!

Annoyingly, they have some Marvel ones I want but they are out of stock in my size Does Uniqlo not have a way to check if they stock the sizes in-store?

I need to wait for payday, but I'll definitely be snapping up a few DBTs (see what I did?) next week.

In related news, the Manchester store doesn't seem to be stocking the UT graphic collections anymore. I went to pick up my order yesterday, and when I asked where they were, a sales assistant said "No, sorry, we only have these ones here..." and pointed me to the Ukiyo-e line on sale. ):

Nope. Sizes will go and return as people are fickle and Uniqlo has a very healthy returns policy. So it's always worth keeping an eye on the site.
...maybe try calling a store up and asking if they stock the size you're after?

Good idea, I’ll check a few of the London stores as I’m up that way next week

This happened to me at Westfield, it seems to happen occasionally in some of their stores at this time of year as they concentrate on selling their winter gear instead.

Aye, suppose that makes sense.

Still, with three floors you'd think they could squeeze them in...

Yeah, but i've seen them do this before, then as spring comes around, the UT tees start popping up in store again ready for the summer.

The only Uniqlo i know of which doesn't do this is the Oxford St flagship (will pop in there before christmas myself at some point).

O cool thanks! I tried not to watch too much of the video though as want it to be a surprise when I go The gift shop sounds cool too!

Sold out on New Era so had to buy via Footshop I bet my accounts are being cleaned out as I type.

Uniqlo are having different offers every day for Black Friday week

I'll be skint no matter what happens.

Wish I had bought a proper one ages ago as its only 2.5p to run. I previous had those £1 disposable ones with beads in and also a mini electric compressor one which were hopeless. This proper one gathers like 2 litres of water in one night!

I bought this for £5 in Robert Dyas.
