2021 Update: They did return with smaller stores featuring interactive experiences, yet thanks to the pandemic, it didn’t last too long. There are now plans for a third shot at the US market, with flagships (possibly like the Times Square store) pop-ups, store-within-a-stores, and small shops at airports. No mention of a return to the original big-box style, nor a return of the interactive stores.
It’s so weird to me, seeing Toys R Us buildings turned into other businesses because there’s an old Toys R Us building that’s been closed for probably close to 10 years now, near where I live and the rainbow tiles are still outlining the door. Nobody else ever moved in Update: the Toys R Us in question was never reopened as anything else and they tore it down in 2024 to make space for a freeway expansion on an already huge freeway 🥲
I’m 13 and still play with dolls, figures, pony’s, princess dresses, craft, stickers, toy cars, stuff animals , board games, etc I wish toys r us was still here... it would be easier to find toys in person and not online. I want at least 1 toys r us in my area with all the toys from 2013-2014 ...those were good times😔
@@BenLaurence Nope unfortunately we didn't. The nearest one as far as I know was in Oklahoma City which is about 2 hours from here. Again if they even had any back then.
I went into a remodeled Toys R Us which is now a clothing store, everything TRU changed out, except the bathroom lol. You can kinda pretend it’s still Toys R Us, provided you never leave your seat.
Damn, it's so sad seeing my local Toys R Us like this... My grandmother and I went to the Toyota Brother's to get her car cleaned and I got to see them renovating the building!
Do you play with toys or do you like video games and stuff Me: *i like MineCraft* Also me: *i have 32 dolls and a ton of other random crap and I won a bid for a new doll today*
Ben: This is the final chapter. Me who just got Bendy and the Ink Machine: Not yet, I'm still on chapter 3. Also, I do still _kind of_ play with toys, I have a model train setup in my basement.
The one my city is still a toy store, but called Smyths (in UK). The one I used to go to as a kid still has the signs up, but they're using it as a charity store and planning to demolish it :(
In 2014 I would play with shopkins and buy them near Lexington's Toys r us. Though I wish would go back there buut covid-19 snuck up to us and kept us in our own homes so I couldn't get as much shopkins as I could. Though I was a fan of Shopkins during that time but grew out of it overtime. Good memories they were
I made a model version of your Toys R Us out of Legos and this is really sad that you will never get to see the Toys R Us the same but if you go back and watch your other videos of this place then you'll always remember😔😥😢😭😖😣😞
Also I got a young Tarzan and terk doll from toys r us that spoke to me I was that nuts and you would put a gorilla version of yourself in the movie and a gorilla name that sounds similar to your real name lol
It’s weird I didn’t know it would get remodeled to another business like that. You could tell that it was a Toys R Us because of some parts of the building. I wish they could have left it.
they were gonna open back up b4 fucking covid & i really hope they still do when more places do too. i just went back 2 work on monday after a year & however many months. im 26 & still love it & toys. i was soooooo upset when i heard they were closing :(
I really miss Toys r us I was 6 when it closed 😭😭😭 but it was a great store to shop at for toys🤗 and i have some toys from Toys r us I'm glad to have some mamries of that great store 😊🤗😀
I loved the action figures whatever there called.....like WWE figures that u can't find in any store..they had stuff u could never find anywheres....plus they had deals on video games...I play video games and will always be a toys R us kid in my 50's....lol..miss that store!!!😢
It's been so long... It's already been 3 years... We can't make anymore good memories for the next gen if Toys r us is closed And I'm talking about the gen after gen z (the gen rn)
And another thing you should have done Spirit Halloween here if you even know if that is it's a thing that they sell Halloween stuff inside an old abandoned place so that's what Spirit Halloween is
Im a kid I always hated fort nite when I was little I always played with toys every minute now I play video games but still play with toys sometimes the reason I don’t play with toys as much is because When u get older u start to lose the creativity u had when u were a young kid and that’s what happened to me ☹️
When you were little!? Fortnite came out like a few years ago 😂 never loose that creativity. If you do you’ll end up working an office job and hate your life
I’m starting to get the creativity back I mostly play roblox with my friends and I’m working on developing a game in it and I’m getting lots of ideas 😁
Totally agree the new toys r us is nothing compared to the old one but you don’t just order toys you do by them and they have a gefdorys tree house which is cool but the old toys r us was so much better also I never got to go to the new toys r us because it’s way to far away from me
I am 13 and I play some video games like GTA V, FIFA, Rocket League, Portal, Half-Life but I play with board games, Lego’s so I play with both to be honest.
The final chapter in the Toys R Us saga 😭
Do you know where this store is
I miss toys r us 😭😭😭😭
I miss that part of my childhood😭
@@flowersunderthestarsyt2221 same 🥺
THIS WAS TODAY AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YOU HEARTED MEE MOR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I've never seen such a beautiful cover-up of a sign.... the person who did the PARTS sign needs a raise 100% 😩 so artistically done

@@larrybarton8233what do u mean
Well we didn't have a Toys-R-Us where I lived as a kid. Not even sure there were any back in those days, I'm old, but sure wish we had one.
Daaaamn you didn’t have any Toys R Us stores around?
@@BenLaurence Nope unfortunately we didn't. The nearest one as far as I know was in Oklahoma City which is about 2 hours from here. Again if they even had any back then.
I thought this turned into a place that had no toys and turned out to be a rip off
Eeeh what?
Ben Laurence sup
The first one made was in my town
The first Toys R Us?
Ben Laurence first Toy’s R Us 2
Volcano Fountain they mean that there was a new toysRus was built in their town

I went into a remodeled Toys R Us which is now a clothing store, everything TRU changed out, except the bathroom lol. You can kinda pretend it’s still Toys R Us, provided you never leave your seat.
Cannot believe some stuff is still there after 2 years!
Crazy right!?
I would rather play video games
Damn, it's so sad seeing my local Toys R Us like this... My grandmother and I went to the Toyota Brother's to get her car cleaned and I got to see them renovating the building!
Definitely sad seeing it like this 😭 that’s pretty cool though you got to see the renovations
Which location is this one?
@@CEC_OklahomaAndGF I'm not telling you my local store. That would be giving away where I live. Especially a CEC fan.
@@TheFunArchivist yeah, I get that
Do you play with toys or do you like video games and stuff
Me: *i like MineCraft*
Also me: *i have 32 dolls and a ton of other random crap and I won a bid for a new doll today*
I’m a little too old for both 😅 but if I had to pick... toys
Ben Laurence nah no one can be too old for video games or toys
I prefer toys, I'm used to playing with toys than playing video games it's also way more fun to play with toys.
Ben: This is the final chapter.
Me who just got Bendy and the Ink Machine: Not yet, I'm still on chapter 3.
Also, I do still _kind of_ play with toys, I have a model train setup in my basement.
What?
Model trains are sick!!!
@@BenLaurence Yes they are! Very expensive too.

Toys R Us was closed long before corona 😂

I'm more of a toy person. I remember that Toys R us closed down when I was 10. I was devastated. I was crying.
I had gotten my first bike here, and now it’s closed. 😭😭😭
Your bike will be the only memorie of toys r us
@@SStrider75 yes

I have no idea what this has to do with the Toys R Us video or what you are talking about 😂 but I love Tarzan too
Well you were referencing a Disney movie sooooo
Also I got a young Tarzan and terk doll from toys r us that spoke to me I was that nuts and you would put a gorilla version of yourself in the movie and a gorilla name that sounds similar to your real name lol
Im a Teen, But I still play with Toys . Toys R US Had your Wish toy or whatever Toy You had in Mind
Cause i still miss this store
Same!
The newer Toys R Us isn't doing well they closed some of them up temporarily because of this virus crap
Yeah I looked up the new stores and they’re absolutely trash 😂
Dalmation Productions / Sears Productions yeah, and there more about playing, than toys. TOYS!! BRO ITS LITTERLY IN YOUR NAME! AND YOU DONT CARE?

Our Toys R Us got turned into an Ollie’s. I hate the person who thought that would be a good idea.

It’s weird I didn’t know it would get remodeled to another business like that. You could tell that it was a Toys R Us because of some parts of the building. I wish they could have left it.
Yeah especially if you’ve been to this location before. You can totally tell it’s a Toys R Us
they were gonna open back up b4 fucking covid & i really hope they still do when more places do too. i just went back 2 work on monday after a year & however many months. im 26 & still love it & toys. i was soooooo upset when i heard they were closing :(
Toys R Us opened little department stores in Macy's stores
My kids missed Toys "R" Us.
I really miss Toys r us I was 6 when it closed 😭😭😭
but it was a great store to shop at for toys🤗

I build Lego sets does that count
I loved the action figures whatever there called.....like WWE figures that u can't find in any store..they had stuff u could never find anywheres....plus they had deals on video games...I play video games and will always be a toys R us kid in my 50's....lol..miss that store!!!😢
Hell ya man 🤙🏼
Bro if I was there I would casually grab everything that says toysrus on it there
It is back now, but only in Macy's stores.
It is??
@@BenLaurence Yes
My toys r us got transferred to a mall and I saw Geoffreys toy box in a toy store. It is insane that they would do that!
Maybe
It's been so long...
It's already been 3 years...
We can't make anymore good memories for the next gen if Toys r us is closed
And I'm talking about the gen after gen z (the gen rn)
And another thing you should have done Spirit Halloween here if you even know if that is it's a thing that they sell Halloween stuff inside an old abandoned place so that's what Spirit Halloween is
It's back at Macy's and American Dream Mall

Haven’t you realized that Toys R Us is inside of a Macy’s store?
The Toys R Us store by my home was demolished and the lot has been empty for over a year :(
That's so cool u went to one
Yeeeeah 😅
I really miss toys r us
Yeah that’s why I was talking about Tarzan because my toys came from here and you’re referencing Disney
Wtf
My Toys R Us is now a Burlington. I still play with toys. I heard Toys R Us is coming back.
It is back it's just not doing well they temporarily closed them because of this virus crap
Burlington sometimes has good toys though... you must have bailed out early cause I talk about the Toys R Us comeback at the end of the video 👀
I like both toys and games
This is new, but look now , American Dream Mall in New Jersey, has ToysRUs
No way!?
Two years later they turn the bakery into a garage you think that’s a prank
OMG
Someone bought our TOYS R US so there were never any dumpsters. 😥
I miss toy r us because there was SO MUCH LEGO AND GOOD TOYS THERE! Now we don’t have any toy stores in our city😫
Walmart and target?
