I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid, they got a million toys at Toys R Us that I can play with... 🤣 Memories!!! This is great. I still have the huge banners and signs I picked up when my local Toys R Us shut down. You are right though, shopping online is definitely not the same as being in the store. I miss going into the parking lot and seeing the sign lit up and the colored slats lining the front of the store. Awesome video!
These stores are so cool because they look like they haven’t been updated in forever, they still have all the really old fixtures and stuff, awsome looking store! (They do seem a little expensive on abunch of stuff tho,even when converted to US currency, so it’s Awsome they have price match)
I go to toys r us every day. I'm feeling lucky to be in Canada. I hope I'm not too old to walk in toys r us. I may be 28 years old women who enjoys walking in toys r us buying toys still. I hope there's nothing wrong with me for loving toys.
I went to this toys r us in India recently and it was relatively new. Very dead store especially in a busy mall and it was a very mediocre store that could not live up to its American counterparts probably due to it being smaller or something. It’s not as popular in India as hamleys which is like some British toy store and it’s actually pretty cool.
I hate that leveraged buyouts lead to great stores closing in the US. That happened to Toys R Us, and that more recently happened to the 99 Cent Stores. From what I saw it looks like the same is happening to Big Lots soon as well. Toy manufacturers said Toys R Us still were profitable for them, and Toys R Us going under hurt their bottom lines. But there was no one to swoop in and buy Toys R Us or try to start the same thing from scratch. I DO love that it seems like ever since Toys R Us closed, a lot of collectable stores have opened up in my area, selling tons of action figures. Feels like they're somewhat making up for the void left by it. Also, those shirts. We never had those. Some pretty good ones there.
Thats the city I am from. I was shocked when you started to film canadian ones but also disappointed the spirit halloween in my town didnt return for you to film.
My childhood is being relived… the last time i ever went into a toys r us was in the American Dream mall in 2021. I remember always going for Fungus Amongus, Grossery Gang, stickers and cars. If the states still had toys r us id be going there day after day if i was still 8.
Sad that there are not a lot of people shopping in this store. I remember shopping at Toys R Us for my kid, around 20 years ago, and they were always packed with people, especially around holidays.
You should remember that prices were lower back then, and the toys were of better quality compared to now. Prices in Canada are quite high, and everyone is price matching with Walmart.
In Canada we used to have Target too, but they removed it and now they’re only in the US. We kinda had the opposite affect of you guys losing Toys r Us
Last time I went to a toys R Us was late fall in the final fall season that store was open. They closed the following year with most the other stores. I miss this. I'm a little jealous too as I have had the idea of visiting a Canada TRU since at least 2019... just no where near a point where I will be able to anytime soon.
The stores do play a new version of the I'm A Toys R Us Kid jingle that they have used for commercials here. Some locations now have more adult products with small HMV ( a former store chain here in Canada) sections with records, Blu Rays, DVDs, T-Shirts and other stuff ( It's shown at 10:55)
This is awesome in the USA there are only 2 stores left,one in American Dream in East Rutherford,New Jersey and the other is in the Mall of America in Bloomington,Minnesota.There is also only one Babies R Us store left in the USA and it is also in the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford,New Jersey
Guess What? There's a MEGA Toys "R" Us in Hamilton, ON that has an even older Exterior logo than the one here. (The mall entrance logo here is what's on the Exterior of the MEGA Toys "R" Us in Hamilton, ON... I think, I can't tell if it's the same logo as the mall interior logo design, or if it's the one with the Jeffery The Giraffe image in a circle logo to the right of the Toys "R" Us logo, but without the Jeffery Logo). It looks like that one, but without the blue star around the backwards "R". It also has the yellow bar things with windows and Blue paint surrounding them on the exterior despite being part of a shopping plaza. It's pretty cool. That store was also bought by a private business man. And he owns it. (I know this information because I used to live in Hamilton, ON and would go to that specific Toys "R" Us store every time I would go to one). The store looks almost like the one in Windsor, ON, but the building exterior isn't flat like the Windsor one. It has that "slightly curved" front that the MEGA ones used to have before they looked like the Windsor one. The ceiling roof is also much higher up than this mall location. This Toys "R" Us in Hamilton, ON also shares with a Babies "R" Us store.
Toys r us actually came back in nj Nate visited my childhood store I remember going to toys r us so much back in my kid days I been to njs toys r us in the mall
I miss Toys R Us. The ones in the Macy's stores don't even come close. By the way, I always wanted the giant ninja turtles figures. Heck I even miss Kaybee Toys and Childrens palace.
I’d always go to toys r us with my grandma and grandpa and we’d always get games and me my grandma and grandpa would always play them together when I was over
Haha, I think Green Day is an American band... but I suppose from their song American Idiot it could be thought that they are Canadian... Weird Al Yankovic who released "Canadian Idiot" is American, I believe.
The problem with Toys R Us is that it's too expensive compared to Target, Walmart, and Amazon. If they can't compete in price it's going to be hard to attract customers.
Hey Nate u met my friend at spirt in Oshawa and gave him stickers 😊 could u possible do more fan mail videos? After Halloween since I know everyone loves the vids
I don't think he noticed. When I worked at ToysR Us, I helped customers, and the ones who came from the States didn’t even realize how much prices had increased. The Care Bears Canada Exclusive toy was particularly sought after, and they bought it at full retail price. 😵💫
damn that brings so much fond memories. As a kid i always begged my mom to take me toys r us. i was fucking sad when they closed . needless to say when i saw lame one in macys my soul died a little more
There is a dollarama idk if I spelt it right but what ever but as I was saying on st.Clare in Toronto the dollarama sells G I j o e s I know because my dad is obsessed😂
I'm surprised of the Toys 'R Us existing in Canada. That company transformed into Smith Toys in Europe. First I thought you're using a time machine. 😆

Toys r us is everywhere in Canada and not abbondend
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉

When you come back from Canada stop in Washington or like Bellingham,they have really good animatronics and stores
i went to TOYS R US all the time when i was little it's amazing to see toys r us again

thats a bummer. I did film the party city in bellville also :) its on my other channel @thatnateguyonhalloween
@ThatNateGuyOnRUclips it's also spelt 'belleville'
That was soooo fun!!!! Toys “R” Us’s were/are awesome, so thank you for filming this one Nate😁
Wow! After 6 years Nate gets to see a fully functional Toys R Us!!!!
Toys R Us being gone for so long made me forget what the interior looked like thanks for refreshing my mind
you guys dont know toys r us is back in macy's

I think they replaced Grossery Gangs with Mega Gross Minis.

My son freaked out when he heard your in Canada 😂 he’s like “ HES IN CANADA”
In Canada we used to have Target too, but they removed it and now they’re only in the US. We kinda had the opposite affect of you guys losing Toys r Us
Also here in the UK we had Best Buy until 2012 because in 2013 Best buy left the European market.
same with the kmarts in usa vs australia
They replaced EB Games with GameStop here in Canada.
I love the hasbro logo on the side of the box
Toy's r us there's was nothing left inside store to go on in abandoned place for Longest time Not abandoned inside toy's r us in the mall.
Last time I went to a toys R Us was late fall in the final fall season that store was open. They closed the following year with most the other stores. I miss this. I'm a little jealous too as I have had the idea of visiting a Canada TRU since at least 2019... just no where near a point where I will be able to anytime soon.
Man, I miss TrU. 😢 Amazing to see a walkthrough!
The stores do play a new version of the I'm A Toys R Us Kid jingle that they have used for commercials here. Some locations now have more adult products with small HMV ( a former store chain here in Canada) sections with records, Blu Rays, DVDs, T-Shirts and other stuff ( It's shown at 10:55)
Nate please come to Kingston my son is your biggest fan and he wants to take a picture with you
I’m so glad toys r us never closed in Canada I love going every time 😆
You passed by the Squishmallows too fast lol!
Thank you for sharing though. I love your videos ❤
The millennium falcon I cannot because of that thing
This is awesome in the USA there are only 2 stores left,one in American Dream in East Rutherford,New Jersey and the other is in the Mall of America in Bloomington,Minnesota.There is also only one Babies R Us store left in the USA and it is also in the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford,New Jersey
I miss the toys r us we had, it close and got replaced by a liquor store. Lots of good stores i miss that had closed down in mid to late 2000's
There’s also a toys r us in American dream mall nj thsts 2 story’s tall!
And in mall of America as well in Bloomington mn
1:20 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SNAIL!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
its great to see you in Canada Nate!!
How cool is that?! But in my opinion, the vinyl records they have there aren’t by very kid-friendly artists!
I think HMV is mostly for Kidults ONLY.
There's one at the American Dream Mall in East Rutaford, NJ.
Guess What? There's a MEGA Toys "R" Us in Hamilton, ON that has an even older Exterior logo than the one here.

Nate are you gonna go to Williamsport PA?
I’m shocked to see you would come to Belleville , that’s where I live 🤣
Haha, I think Green Day is an American band... but I suppose from their song American Idiot it could be thought that they are Canadian... Weird Al Yankovic who released "Canadian Idiot" is American, I believe.
Are you still in Canada?
Come by Pickering Ontario we got a great TRU
They can come and I’ll show you a video of Toys “R” Us cause I live in a Canada maybe
Walmart isn't as huge there as it is in the U.S plus no Target!
Thanks buddy. My son Isaac is 4 and loves your videos.
Finally a toy r US don't abandond in Canada!
The problem with Toys R Us is that it's too expensive compared to Target, Walmart, and Amazon. If they can't compete in price it's going to be hard to attract customers.
Cool 😎
Nate, You gonna come to St.Catharines? We got a couple spirit stores

There’s one probably not even 20 minutes walking distance from where I live.
Never went to a toys r us, (even looked at a mall in 2023-2024 just my mom saw a sign that said toys r us is open) but I want to now
There’s a Toys “R” Us in New Jersey that’s if you want to go to new, Jersey Nate
Hey Nate u met my friend at spirt in Oshawa and gave him stickers 😊 could u possible do more fan mail videos? After Halloween since I know everyone loves the vids
My local Toys R Us is Big Lots. The Big Lots is closing, so Toys R Us will be abandoned again
We don't support toys r us have you seen their prices for action figures lol
I don't think he noticed. When I worked at ToysR Us, I helped customers, and the ones who came from the States didn’t even realize how much prices had increased. The Care Bears Canada Exclusive toy was particularly sought after, and they bought it at full retail price. 😵💫
