		Hamleys blamed flat sales in a depressed toy market, a fall in the number of tourists coming to London, and on the refitting work at its Regent Street shop for its poor performance.

	Net Vikings pillage Hamleys website \| The Register
		UK toy retailer Hamleys website was ransacked over the weekend after sharp-eyed web shoppers spotted "a glitch in a voucher scheme which allowed customers to claim a cumulative 60 per cent discount if they bought goods from the Hamleys online store", and moved in for the kill.
		The result was that by Sunday morning, Hamleys e-shelves were stripped of goods at a fraction of the original price "with more than half of the top-selling doll and toy ranges out of stock".
		Hamleys doesn't yet know how many people availed themselves of the opportunity and "since the store uses a central warehouse for both its actual store and its online store, the shortage [of goods] will affect both outlets".

		I guess Hamley's probably didn't lose all that much money, but I'm still not sure the people abusing the codes were doing something just.
		Although everyone got a decent deal on the hamleys site, their prices were quite high compared to their competition such as toys-r-us.

	SIMON BURKE - HAMLEYS PLC (HYL.L): TWST

		So, we made a decision in the early part of last year not just to open new stores under the Bear Factory brand, but also to convert around 11 of the Toy Stack stores into that format and we disposed of the balance of the stores during the first half of the last financial year.
		The position now is that apart from the Hamleys business, comprising Regent Street and the direct mail order and Internet operations, we also have Bear Factory, which currently has 22 stores distributed around the UK.
