    Yes, I remember the one in the Metro centre. I was terrified of going in there as they had Gremlin statues on the light fittings - I was a nervous child and the film freaked me out:D

    Wow, I never realised he was real. I thought it was something they made up for the film 'Clueless'! :o

    I'm sure there was one in Manchester Arndale a while ago. I think it's now some kind of "Teddy Factory". I might have been hallucinating at the time, though.

    Didn't they used to have one in Merry Hill? Or was that the Disney Store? I'm certain there was a Disney Store there, but I can't remember if there was a WarnerBrothers store there too. I haven't been since I was 9 or 10.

    There was one at Merry Hill, that's the one that I remember. There were huge statues of the Looney Tunes characters outside if I remember correctly. I used to love that shop.

    I have quite a collection of Marvin memorabilia from the WB stores. Including a couple of rather large statues.

    I remember the 1 in Buchanan St.I think there was a WB shop in the Buchanan Galleries also maybe 3-4 years ago.I'm sure the WB shop in Buchanan St had closed down by this time.

    I was sure there was! And the big statues definitely ring a bell. I remember going to Merry Hill when I was 7 or 8, spending ages in the Warner Brothers shop and then going to the McDonalds nearby with the big indoor play area and having a chicken and ketchup burger happy meal :D oh memories :sleep:

    YES

    I bought 2 figurines, one of Pinky and one of the Brain. Both got damaged and I have not been able to find them again.

    Still love them, would buy them again (but not the £80 each the USA eBayers are charging)

    When i was about 9 i once won a looney tunes denim jacket in a competition, it would have been my fave jacket too but sadly the size they sent me was an xxl so it was a tad too big unfortunately :(

    I didnt even know there used to be warner bros stores!

    The one in Glasgow didn't. I was only ever in it once though; was disappointed it was full of kids stuff and cartoon characters. Was hoping to get some decent WB movie memorabilia.

    Btw, OP, had to laugh at your post. I'm sure most people will remember the stores unless they're under 10 LOL. :D

    Used to love the one in the Metrocentre as well. It closed and then another reopened a year or so later, then that closed in 2004.
