The Burbank store would also be of interest to TC members perhaps, with its 1950's B-movie theme. (A bit off topic, but bear with me) The small description above doesn't do it justice:

*There is a giant flying saucer crashing into the building above the front door.
*Inside a full-blown martian invasion is in progress
*The whole store is like a large 1950's town: there is a "service station" which is the returns counter, the check out area is made up like a large diner, and in the back is a small cafe which is made up like a drive-in theatre with real 1950's cars in it, that you sit in while you drink your latte and eat your muffin or burrito
*The tops of all the "buildings" are festooned with "little green men" in space suits, holding ray guns and blasting people
*Statues of a highway patrol officer on a motorcycle freaking out, and a full size Army jeep being cut in half by a laser beam
*An even bigger "flying saucer" with revolving lights at the back of the store, which is actually the high-end audio demonstration room
*There's a giant Gort-esque robot holding a large-breasted blonde in his arms

  • Finally, at the computer department, there's a 20-foot tall octupus monster breaking through the walls and the floor. His giant tentacles hold up the computer display tables, which look like chunks of floor being pushed up by the tentacles.

Yowch.
