Original Prop Blog in England: Journal Day Two
December 18, 2010 by Jason DeBord
England Journal: Day Two. This was a very busy day. Mario, Oz and I took the train to Prop Store, which was a first visit for me. While the weather was not terribly bad at our arrival, it soon began snowing and actually made a sharp turn for the worst. We cut our visit short so as to not get trapped out at the store (admittedly not the worst place in the world to be stuck).
In any event, sometime in the future I will publish a partial video tour of the business, with Stephen Lane as our guide. It was great to spend some time with Stephen off camera and catch up on the various goings on and developments in the hobby, as we had not seen each other since San Diego Comic Con this past summer.
Fortunately, the weather later cleared up and we further explored the city, visiting some famous areas and business, including the massive department store, Harrods.
Oz had to pick up a lot won in last week’s Bonhams sale, so we stopped by their facility as well.
We also paid visit to Carnaby Street…
Later in the evening, Oz, Mario, and I met up with fellow collector Dave Abberly of England at Planet Hollywood.

Another great and very full day (did not get back to my hotel until about 5am). Many thanks to Stephen, Oz, Mario, and Dave for making time in their schedules for our various activities.
