Toys R Us

Toys R Us is not long for our universe. Back in 2005, few saw what coming. Well, I did predict the demise of many companies. Hey, Toys R Us is preparing to enter liquidation and shut down forever and ever. I will say it now. For this firm, it is game over.

Sad day for America indeed.

It sucks, I remember growing up in the 80's and more so in the 90's visiting Toys'R'us. My NES / SNES / Sega Nomad + a plethora of games came from my (then) local Toys'R'us. I was fortunate enough to visit that very same Toys'R'us back in August of last year when I returned state side for a visit.

It was a bit eerie but in a good way. A lot of things were the same, but also different. For example, the game isle looked exactly the same but with newer games in those little card holders. Bicycle section still looked like it always did. I wish I knew that was the last time I'd be in Toys'R'us because I'd have grabbed a picture or two.
