It's right next to the Universal Mega Store (Summer) and right across from the Sanrio Smile shop! This store has lots of merchandise for BT21, K-Pop, and LINE friends icons! When my family and I went into the store, the team members greeted us! It was our first time inside! It's such an immersive experience. There are so many different items from accessories, apparel, customizable COLLER bags with NBCUniversal character pins, and crossover collections from movies such as Minions, Trolls and so much more! There are so many photo opportunities inside the store too! We bought a few items like keychains and a plush from the store and it wasn't too expensive! We had a great time at Line Friends Store!

This is the newest location of Line Friends in LA. Located in CityWalk across from the Hello Kitty…read moreCafe, it's a little smaller than their store across from Grauman's Chinese Theatre. This location focuses more on the BTS created characters BT21 and includes a small offering of product from the core Line Friends assortment and some items from the New Jeans collection. They had a good amount of options from blind boxes, to tees, to exclusives for the Hollywood store. I did notice when I came on Monday that the stock was a little picked over in terms of sizes and some characters being available. (I had looked at tees for the Hollywood store and they didn't have all of the sizes for all of the characters.) There are some fun photo ops in there for free - definitely check them out if you get a chance. Like all of the CityWalk businesses, you park either in one of the structures or pay extra for the closer parking options. I believe if you see a movie or are a passholder with a high level, you can get free parking.

LATEST & GREATEST USH MERCH! Production Central is a gift shop found near CityWalk's entrance that…read moreoffers USH merch outside of the park! You can expect to find the same buzzy memorabilia that's currently trending inside the park. For instance, I visited Production Central while I was waiting to enter USH for FanFest and they had 90% of the same items you'll find at the shops during the event. Scooby Doo, Universal Monsters, and FanFest were the most common items as that what's on everyone's minds. The quality of the items are excellent, you'll find everything from button-ups, tees, mugs, to full-on costumes. I'd highly recommend visiting especially if you're not planning on entering the park. Staff are not pushy and they let you window shop. Most items are on the pricier side but what isn't at a theme park? I'll be back! I especially loved the enamel pins sold here!

Production Central is a store that has all Transformers themed items! It's located at the Lower Lot in Universal Studios Hollywood. Some of the Apparel include the Cartoon T-Shirts of the Transformers and some of the characters such as Bumblebee from the more recent movies! In the middle of the store, you'll see Collectible Transformers figurines on sale. There was this Gold Optimus Prime on display that was quite expensive, but beautiful to look at! There were some Transformers plushies and toys offered at Production Central. You could even purchase a Collectible Sipper for $20.00 that was Bumblebee themed! This was a fun store to shop at, especially after the Transformers 3D ride! It wasn't busy at all, which was nice for a change!

The shop has another location in Hudson, NY. [Parking]: Metered parking in Atwater Village, but luckily I found a metered parking spot across from the shop at 5 PM on Saturday. [Selection]: Very organized shop as pens are ordered by rainbow color. The shop sells a decent selection of Valentine's Day cards. The staff was friendly and even asked customers on what they were looking for. In addition to greeting cards and stationery, they also have candles, tote bags, etc. The shop also offers gift wrapping service and apparently they even sell red rose bouquets during Valentine week. [Gift wrapping service]: The service is only available at brick & mortar locations. Materials are purchased separately and holiday rush fees may be applied. The shop offers complimentary gift wrap on all in-store purchases (customer's choice of kraft box or kraft wrap with twine). During the busy holiday season, the staff may asks customers to drop off gifts and pick up at a later determined time. * Small (e.g. Small Book, Journal, Pen Box, Candle) = $8 * Medium (e.g. Shoe Box, iPad, Shirt Box) = $10 * Large (e.g. Oversized Books, Laptop, Coat) = $12 * Extra Large (oversized) (e.g. Oversized Kids Toys, Bedding Sets, Large Framed Art, TV) = $20+ [Conclusion]: The shop has a more diverse selection and is not limited to just Japanese style cute stationery. This is really a one-stop shop for anyone looking for a last minute gift.

The shop has a small curated selection of Sanrio and Miffy plushies, but in general about half of the store is geared toward children and kids. [Parking]: Easy metered street parking is available with free metered parking on Sundays. [Conclusion]: As a children's shop, this is a 5-star store. At the same time, the store may not be everyone's cup of tea depending on what they are looking for.

Super kawaii, technicolor gift shop! Yatta!…read more Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Eagle Rock is a candy-colored store with a heavy focus on Japanese merch. There's plenty of cute stickers and books for children and plenty of collectibles, gachapon and other goodies for adult Nipponophiles. The store also features a variety of artists whose rainbow Lisa Frank style seems to effortlessly blend in to its surroundings. I know, I know...I sound like I don't like this place. That's not true. While it's not my aesthetic, it's clearly very well curated with lots of fun things to browse through. And the staff was very nice Definitely a place to bring children and adult fans of anime and manga.

It is very clean and organized. Each of the franchise sections are easily recognizable in the store. After spending the whole day in the park, on our way to exit we stopped by here. I noticed the back side of the store they had a small clearance section that had up to 40% discounts. The Harry Potter section was the biggest section in the store. The Super Mario World was also big. Product types included apparels, toys, dolls, magnets, stickers, key rings, stationary and many more varieties. There were plenty of staff members throughout the store. Few of the assisted us with finding the apparel sizes we were looking for. Checkout on both days were quick and easy. I also did a return at the store that was swiftly processed. As a big shopper, I loved spending time in this store, going thru each of the sections and looking thru the merchandise products one by one.

The design of this store is fun and the people were nice. They have different merchandise for Harry Potter or The Simpsons, etc...and a lot of dinosaur Jurassic Park stuff. Overall, a fun store.

The staff was great and they knew pretty much right off the bat what the cost with discounted would be since the tags have the regular price on it. Today everything was 70% off. I got a shirt from last year's HHN I kind of wanted to get one since it was my first HHN so I paid a total of $2.51 for this with the 70% off and with my AP discount on top. Overall a great store to look at either before or after going to park or just if shopping in City Walk.

I would primarily recommend using the metro or a bus to get here but if you have to drive, park somewhere that isn't Citywalk parking which is extremely exorbitant. I opted to park on a small side street of Ventura Blvd and then walk to the bridge crossing, cross via the bridge, and take the Universal Studios / Citywalk free tram. Once you get off the tram, walk through the gap between the Jansport and Dodgers shop and turn right. You will keep walking until you see the sign for the parking lot and then keep to the left. Take 2 is located across from the Escape room experience here. They have highly discounted merchandise from both Universal Studios park merch to franchise merch. Of the franchise merch I spotted this includes; Harry Potter, Transformers, Mario, Dungeons and Dragons, Fast and Furious, Star Trek, and a few more. The shop itself is not very large but it carries deals STARTING at 70% off when I went so this alone is worth it. I got a previously tagged $60 sweatshirt for an insane $6.50 so I was very happy to have come by! The employees were also very nice and looked in the back for another size for me as well as let me try on the sweatshirt by a mirror in the shop.

This store has toys from board games, to balls, dolls (mostly Barbie Dolls), vintage toys for all ages, robots (small action figures), wind up toys, plush animals, kaleidoscopes, marbles, pick up sticks, puzzles of every kind, trucks, small racing cars and a lot more. Every toy/item varies on the prices. Prices were not that expensive, nor were they cheap. Good quality store, clean, street parking only and is a family owned business. Established back in 1989. I wasn't really looking for anything in particular, but will definitely be back if and when I need to purchase something for anyone and for any occasion. They also do gift wrapping free of charge..

Total scam company when you need to make a return within the return window…read more 1. When the item is returned they dont give you a full refund even though it says they do. 2.

Item was suppose to be cancelled before it shipped but they were too lazy to cancel it. Avoid anything loungefly or funko as all they do is scam people now.
