00:00Hundreds of Bristolians have queued up for the new mini-store store in Cabot Circus.
00:05Let's find out just what makes the shop so special.
00:09I didn't really travel too far today. I kind of live with accommodations on campus, so I didn't travel too far.
00:15I don't know if the wait is worth it, to be honest.
00:19I heard that the first 300 people get the goodie bags, so I don't know if I'm going to actually make it with the goodie bags.
00:27I don't really know what I want. I haven't come in for anything in particular.
00:31I'm more of a buy what I see kind of thing, so hopefully I find some good things.
00:35They have these cute little blind boxes, and I was looking online and I want to get a cute little cat one.
00:44They have a lot of Sanrio stuff, so I'm going to have a little look at that as well.
00:48You said you were looking for something in particular, didn't you?
00:50Yeah, I was looking to see if they had any anime stuff, any one-piece stuff.
00:54Also, Sanrio as well. I can never remember the name of those realistic-looking cats with stupid hats on.
01:01I'm looking for those guys.
01:04We think it's fun just being part of a queue.
01:06I mean, if you're there with friends and everything, yeah, it just kind of makes it worth it.
01:09Even if you don't get any free stuff at the end or anything, you know you're going to look forward to what's at the end of it.
01:14It's just a good excuse to hang out with friends if you've got the time.
01:17Yeah, we're just socialising in the queue.
01:19Yeah, literally, yeah.
01:21See, I went to Spain once, to Miniso, and I wanted to go again because I like the cute stuff, really.
01:32I like the plushies and everything, like cuteness.
01:39I hope to buy some plushies or cups.
01:44Quite a long one, but I have time until they wake up.
01:52I've been to Comic-Con and seen them before, so it's something we've enjoyed going around.
01:58Hopefully it all dies down and then we can get a proper look around.
02:01It's very busy.
