I work at a vintage toy store, but we have kid ready toys as well as collectibles. I take pride in being part of one of the relatively few toy stores to exist. My area has none other than just the one.
certified wurld classic!!! (toys r us was childhood i used to live near one in my hometown i miss it so much!! the signs are sitill up on the building yet the entire building is eerily empty and quiet)
My guess to why Toys R Us went away for a while until the stores reopened, it's mostly what you said, online shopping is very accessible and the business wasn't adapting to changing times fast enough. People love the convivence of ordering something online and have it delivered to the home address in a few days. I would add most of the time many kids spend time on the screens. It's very easy to get toys in other retail stores like Target, Walmart, etc. All of these things combined are why they're only in select few locations now. I've been to the Toys R Us before and it's a fun trip every time. Nowadays I just see the Toys R Us small toys section in Macy's.
the roseville mi location was my childhood location and yes, the parking lot was….something. it shares the same big parking lot as a bar, where there have been multiple shootings.
I remember if you signed up for birthday coupons Jeffrey would also call you to say happy birthday and "invite" you to visit the store. Now the toys are us I went to is a burlington
the dragon republic is so good!!! can't wait till you get to the last one. also i adore will my cat eat my eyeballs! she has another one, smoke gets in your eyes, that's supposed to be good.
I have the discontinued version of the Disney Lego Castle, it took me three years to save up for but it was worth it (My cat broke it a few years ago and I can’t put it back together, it makes me cry because I spent WEEKS building that thing, and I was going to save up for the new version but it kinda looks ugly. The old one is way better, in my opinion)
i'm p sure the actual problem with the video barbie was that it was deemed a possible safety issue (cough cough cp) but yeah my friend had one and i was SO jealous i wanted one so bad
I had a Barbie keep, it wasn’t an actual Barbie keep but it was similar (it was red with fire stickers and it had a broken radio🔥🔥🔥) I would ride it around the street and take the other kids on my street for a ride in it, then I got to big and I was miserable
that’s not my dog btw
toys r us was like 99% of my childhood then they suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth
I saw one at the mall when I was visiting Asia and it was still open

Hearing you say Roseville, Michigan was like a genuine jump scare for me. That was my toys r us
The former Toys R Us in my town is now a giant crossfit gym. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than it being empty
