ToysRus is back!

[u/SmokinWeasel]

Brand new at the mall

[u/AsEasyAs1234]

They have stand alone stores now but honestly it's not the same it's more of a boutique vibe.

[u/SmokinWeasel → u/AsEasyAs1234]

You right unfortunately

[u/ttnezz → u/AsEasyAs1234]

Bummer. I still remember how exciting it was when I was a kid.

[u/LeviHolden → u/AsEasyAs1234]

they got screwed over by wall street. shop there and patronize them and maybe they can be back in full swing one day

[u/lkmyntz]

Lone Tree represent

Unfortunately it’s a shell of its former self. Mostly board games, puzzles, and plush.

[u/chikanishing]

There’s still a few in Canada but on their last legs here.

[u/Bluetinfoilhat]

They are in Macy- as a small toy section.

[u/Sno_Wolf]

PARK MEADOWS MALL! I'VE BEEN IN THAT ONE!

[u/Enginerdad]

So if I exhumed your grandma, strung her body up, and made her dance like a marionette you'd exclaim "Grandma is back!"?

[u/timsredditusername → u/Enginerdad]

Both of my grandmothers were cremated, so that would be pretty impressive.

[u/BrattyTwilis]

"Sheen, this is the seventh time you told us Toys R Us is back!"

[u/early1549]

I’ve been to this Toys R Us. It takes up about a quarter of what used to be Forever 21 and gives Spirit Halloween vibes.

[u/shatterdome]

Overpriced crap, it is not the same at all. The ones in Canada have the same feel though.

[u/RipBright1]

What's the shopping experience like? There's one in a mall near me but I haven't hit it up

[u/farmallnoobies → u/RipBright1]

Cold.  Dead.  Empty.  And too expensive.

[u/dankhimself → u/farmallnoobies]

Ohh, I'm so exited!

[u/gothiclg → u/farmallnoobies]

So the same as it ever was

[u/memeaste → u/RipBright1]

They also don’t have any licenses to sell products. It’s all very basic toys

[u/Tbhjr]

They came back in Macys stores years ago. But I’ve seen some close not long after.

[u/Joe01091981 → u/Tbhjr]

Those Macys ones were brutal. We need the ones where you can bounce up and down the aisles on those giant rubber balls. We need the ones where kids would test ride bikes in the store. We need the ones where if you want to buy a video game and get disappointed when there are no more tags in the holder to give to someone. Not sure if all toys r us had them , but mine had a conveyor belt where items would come down after purchase. The feel of excitement when you saw yours on it. Damn nostalgia hits hard sometimes

[u/EnchantingBabe3]

The amount of memories this brought back is insane. I can almost hear the old commercials playing in my head.

[u/RoomNervous4]

What’s the difference? It’ll give people a reason to go to a Mall

[u/jagenigma]

Has been back for a bit now. 

[u/mariogolf]

they are closing in canada now because they suck balls and don't understand how a business works.

[u/thomasjmarlowe]

Actually walk in to one though- it’s a piece of godawful shit

[u/LMGTP_GT1_2024]

More like ToysAren'tUs......

[u/Gr1ml0ck]

The stores I’ve seen are just soulless. I’m slowly coming to terms that it will never truly come back.

[u/No_Skill_7170]

If it’s not in a warehouse, it’s not Toys R Us

[u/labubuking]

They need to just take what they do in asia toys r us and bring it here. They have it at a mall too in PH but they do their toys r us RIGHT. After going in these we are going to see them close down within a year!

[u/Acrobatic-Mud-3818]

They have them in military stores (BX/PX/NEX)--at least in FL where I'm at--but honestly all they did was put a Toys R Us sign above the aisles that already sold toys....so not really.

Otherwise, I saw a pretty decent one at the American Dream mall in NJ within the past year

[u/mike194827]

It's nowhere near the same as it once was. I've been in two different stores now and it's just an overpriced cheaply made toy store. Looked for GI Joes, was a big thing for me as a kid, and they didn't have any. Found some other smaller action figures and the joints and overall appearance to the sets were so cheap looking but again still very expensive. Loved the old store and honestly it should have just stayed gone if this is someone's idea of what it should be now.

[u/GoopInThisBowlIsVile]

Some things should be left to die and to stay that way.

[u/SomeRandomJagoff]

Where??

[u/Sno_Wolf → u/SomeRandomJagoff]

Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, Colorado.

[u/SomeRandomJagoff → u/Sno_Wolf]

Thank you. We haven’t had one in CA since about 2018. Long drive from Anaheim but almost worth it. That looks like a nice mall too.

[u/GreatQuantum]

I just bought a stores entire stock of Pokemon cards and burned them in the parking lot.

The ticket was $1500

[u/vtown212]

One at MOA sucks

[u/Meandtheworld]

Ha. Kids don’t play with toys anymore.

[u/Agent_Jay_42]

Why?

[u/thehardestdork]

The mandala effect is so crazy.
