Theres a TRU in Glasgow that i wanted to check out since ancient days since TMNT got sold there back in the day, i might go just to wear a raincoat and give the worst impressions of our kind to the peasant folk out there that might be watching.
She’s got a kid? She probably does need the money.

oh shit, other people played vectorman at toys r us as well? nice!
i always had fond magical memories of going there as a kid. i think something todays kids will definitely miss out on. i know you can shop that shit online but its not the same feeling. unfortunately, i stopped going to toys r us after i grew up, because i didnt want people to think i was some pedo, kinda like how there are lego toy lands you cant go to if you dont have a kid with you

I remember Toys R Us being the shit during the SNES and Genesis days. It was pretty awesome seeing every new release and all the top sellers take up a huge row of store space. I think the genesis section alone was bigger than most gamestops today. I still get a little bit of feels thinking back to those days.

I remember a couple of days before Thanksgiving 1986. My mom took me to TRU to make a list for Santa Claus. the magic Toys R Us had during the holidays, as a child, was something to behold. I swear walking into that was like walking into a storybook magical palace. They were setting up for Black Friday. I went down that G.I. Joe aisle and almost had a heart attack. So I started conducting my list. My mom was like Santa can’t get all of that thru the balcony door. So I had to trim my list. LOL!!! Interesting, Christmas 1986 is when I found out there was not Santa Claus but that’s a very short story. LOL!!

Playing Mario 64 at TRU a month or so before the N64 out was probably my greatest memory of TRU. I would go there for hours just to play it.
I also remember when the TRU opened up the street from me and on it’s grand opening they were offering $10 off video games, and my dad took me there to pick out one game for my birthday, and I picked Actraiser. Game owned but I beat it in 2 days.

toys r us sales are trash. only up to 30% off here.
I made a post about one thing at Toys R Us that we can use.
Arcade Stick Storage and Travel Bags $4.48 at Toys R Us
I picked up the few that were at my local stores. These pretty much fit any arcade stick within the TE, TE2, Razer and Hori RAP4 specs.
The biggest thing that we will lose out on are accidental discovery of games and toys we did not know even existed but ended up being enormous worthwhile investments. I guess Target and Walmart will now have to become the next Toys R Us. Hopefully they do expand their store space and shelves for more toys
probability the best thing to come out of this mess
I can count on one hand the amount of times ive been in a TRU

agreed with the clearance trash. I walked in and saw the sign for 30% off. Most of the “cool” stuff was only 5-10%. Fuck that I can probably find it cheaper online still.

Now that shit’s 30% off, I racked up. Picked up the SH Figuarts Chun Li, Tamashii Sailor Jupiter, and 4 Switch games. (Puyo Puyo Tetris, Wonderboy, Ittle Dew 2 and Nights of Azure 2).
YMMV, but it’s worth a shot if you got one in your area. Saw a bunch of other “desireable” Switch games there I’m just not interested in or already have on other systems, like Bayonetta 2, Axiom Verge and LA Noire.
Toys R Us in my area dropped down to 40% off. They don’t have anything interesting in the stores left. PS4 Pros are staying 10%. Lame as fuck
My local toys r us already closed so I didn’t get any good deals.
The Store near me advertising 40% off merchandise, but you can’t find it anywhere in the store.
Still, you can find much better deals elsewhere (online).

Was at a store recently that had everything in the store 20 percent off plus an extra 10 percent off of your total at check out. But I couldn’t find a fucking thing worth getting and ended up walking out with nothing. Lol
