I'll be in London for four days from July 7th to 10th and I plan to drop
into the Leicester Square store. For all the locals, are there any store exclusives
I should pick up while I'm there? Feel free to mention your BL stores as
well if you're willing to meet up at the store on July 8th or 9th.

Thanks!
Mike

I was really disappointed there wasn't more in the way of exclusive stuff.
The min figure IIRC was a City Business man type. The Palace Guardsman was available
in Hamleys (massive toy shop on Regent Street, good if you want other non-Lego
brand toys too).

When going to the Lego store itself on a Sat or Sun earlier in the day the better,
the queue can get very long outside the shop.

Enjoy the trip.

This is a downside of the no regional exclusives policy. Nothing interesting
worth looking for. It is a shame. I t would be great if every store had something
simple, like an exclusive tile or brick with the store name and maybe a stereotypical
minifigure.

The exclusive guard polybag is worth picking up if Hamleys still do it. The rest
of their LEGO is usually over RRP and best avoided.
