They reached their maximum before the Internet era,from today perspective the 90's look to me like a mythical decade,video games rental stores,many funny gadgets,video stores etc...
It's sad that so many people buy stuff online now and don't go to places that have important things like cribs from Baby's R Us, and toys that kids work for and then online sites could not have what they want and they would not be able to get it, R.I.P Toys R Us
It wasn't just the online sales that killed Toys R Us.....Toys R Us also had competition from Wal-Mart and Target, which sells toys for less than what Toys R Us did.
THE TOYS WILL RISE UP AND RECLAIM THE STORE! Elmo! Barbie Girl! GI Joe! They're not gonna take being taken out in a box and dumped! Toys of the world! You have nothing to lose other than your price tag! BE FREE!
If there's one bankrupt company you forgot to mention, it is definitely Borders. I miss that bookstore so much! Used to go there all the time and buy so many books when I was younger. Hope Barnes and Noble NEVER shuts down!
Rip Toys R Us. Or basically toys in general. Toys R Us was the last big toystore in the US. It is all because kids 1-11 who should only be playing with toys are glued to their smartphones, xbox ones, and playstation 4s. I find it sad that no modern kids will have to same good childhood as I did. Rip Toys R Us.
Here in Malaysia (and some other Asian countries), we still have Toys R Us. So if you guys happen to be on vacation, take your time to visit and buy something at a cheaper price (depending on the currency).
Since childhood, every single toy I've gotten came from Toys R Us and I kept nearly every one. Even till this day, I've bought toys as a collector. It's sad to see such a major element of my childhood go not as a frequent customer but also as a former employee. It was great to be an employee at a place that helped create and shape so many childhoods and be a part of it all...
I loved Blockbuster the most, Browsing through movies on Netflix isn’t the same wonderful experience as walking through blockbuster not to mention being able to rent video games and experiencing the harsh difficulties the games of the 80s and 90s has to offer.
Agreed that was the same with all videostores not just blockbuster (ironically considering all the videostores near where I lived Blockbuster was the only one we never had).
I wish they still had Hastings I missed that store it was cool and one of the easiest ways to get manga but that’s what Barnes & Nobel and Amazon is for .
I missed Toys R Us. It was the best toy store I had ever been going to as a child. The fact that I’m 16 and I’m seeing my childhood die just saddens me the most. And also the same goes to Blockbuster
For Toys R' Us, rest in peace. You'll forever be missed. For Enron, rest in pieces. Scamming those people out of their money is greedy and evil and the higher-ups of Enron can go straight to hell.
Your story is not entirely correct on Toys r Us. A 6.6 billion dollar leveraged buyout is what sunk them. That's what happens when you buy somebody with a massive highly leverage transaction.
I always used to go past blockbuster in our car. But when I saw that it wasn't there, I thought it just moved. About 1-2 months ago I only just found out it had closed down

Rest In Peace Toys R Us.
Claudia Nikano rest in peace Toys R Us remember the commercial jingle I don't want to go up I want to be a Toys R Us kids

Why wasnt Circuit City on this list, I loved that store
That is a little strange that they didn't include it
Should have been in there right next to Borders Books.
oh yeah that place
Because they were always second fiddle to Best Buy
dadoctah wasn't Borders actually acquired by Barnes and Nobles?
*Like I needed to remember Toys 'r us is bankrupt!* Thanks watchmojo! :'(
(The thumbnail is Toys R us so idk what to say)
Blockbuster will always have a place in my heart ❤️

Parent: Lets go to toys r us
Kid: No not now, or later, never
*Toys R Us Shuts down*
Kid: *Cries uncontrolably*
Best Buy or GameStop are next
TheHercLocker probably not Best Buy I still see many people on my Best Buy but GameStop definitely
Definitely not Best Buy! It's always busy there.
Best Buy is always packed with people and the checkout lines are long. I doubt they are going anywhere
I worked for best buy man. They aren't going anywhere shit was always packed
I hope it's GameStop.
Here in Malaysia (and some other Asian countries), we still have Toys R Us. So if you guys happen to be on vacation, take your time to visit and buy something at a cheaper price (depending on the currency).
I remember when KB toys was around, and now its coming back. Isn't it always exciting when old stuff come back?
Nightboy Ryan I’ve heard that, maybe their going to be more modern these days both offline and online
Hope they are coming back, when I was a kid that was the only major toy store around till toys r us came years later
Nightboy Ryan hopefully it happens to Toys R Us in the future.
Blabbermouth Gamer what you mean?
Nightboy Ryan Think about it, KB Toys we’re defunct in 2007 and they can make a comeback in the modern area

Tiny Danker XDDDDDDDDDDDD
Growing up, one of the most catchiest jingles was that song from the Toys R Us commercials
My heart is broken seeing my favorite Toy Store go Bankrupt. You will always be remembered Toys R Us
NightlyNinja rest in peace toys at Toys R Us I remember the jingle commercial I don't want to grow up I want to be a Toys R Us kid
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Circuit City?
IKR? Also #9, 8, 7, 3, Sears are the only ones I remember. 😂🤣🤣
Circuit city been gone.
oh yeah that was a thing
It's an old one I think that they only use newer bankruptcys
great vid but ill miss these companys 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Blockbuster was a huge part of my childhood. And Radioshack.
Still too soon!
RIP ToysRUs
Damn the nostalgia is real. Toys R’us made my(our) childhood. Great memories..
Rip toys r us You will be remembered in my childhood
Toys R Us
In US: Going Going Gone!
In Canada: We get to see them all!
Blockbuster killed themselves tho
Chibi Prussia how?
Chibi Prussia yea, how (im really trying to figure if it was because of the DVDs)
because back in the early 2000's, Netflix tried to sell itself to Blockbuster for $50M. Blockbuster refused. Netflix is now worth $20B.
JVee Veneracion When you reject am ugly girl in middle School but she grows up to be a hottie.
It was there own fault tho
I loved Blockbuster the most, Browsing through movies on Netflix isn’t the same wonderful experience as walking through blockbuster not to mention being able to rent video games and experiencing the harsh difficulties the games of the 80s and 90s has to offer.
The moment you only know 2 of these companys :P
Gab/Zeesar can’t relate, I know more
Kodak and ToysRUs?
Block busters and toys R us?
R.I.P. Toys R Us 😭
Blockbuster was awesome. Just wandering the aisles and finally making a choice was part of the fun.
Agreed that was the same with all videostores not just blockbuster (ironically considering all the videostores near where I lived Blockbuster was the only one we never had).
Don't forget some of my favorites! The Bon Marche, Sports Authority and Fredrick and Nelson's! I love your videos! Take care and thanks!
#1 Watchmojo
As a 90s kid, I'm still mourning the loss of DZ Discovery Zone
Sad that kids nowadays watch people PLAY with toys on TH-cam rather than play with them in Real life.
You know what I liked best? That FREAKING awesome LEGO BB-8 behind the Watch Mojo Talk Guy.
I wish they still had Hastings I missed that store it was cool and one of the easiest ways to get manga but that’s what Barnes & Nobel and Amazon is for .
Kodak, Toys R Us and Blockbuster forever in my heart!
I feel for those who were made unemployed by this, I really do. Toys R Us especially
Can't wait till I wait for weeks even months for my clothes to come in...
Amazon bodied Toys R Us
Amazon bodied a lot of people lol.
I missed Toys R Us. It was the best toy store I had ever been going to as a child. The fact that I’m 16 and I’m seeing my childhood die just saddens me the most. And also the same goes to Blockbuster
i guess I'm the only one who remembers Circuit City :(
A&P Food Stores,Finast/Edwards Food Stores,Goody's Hamburgers,the list is endless!
My ToyRus is slowly closing 😞😖😭😭
George Garcia my Toys R Us is closed already
George Garcia my toys r us is closing in 2 or 3 days now.

Well, let’s just hope Canada and Australian Toys R us arent next.
Seeing both Toys R Us and Blockbuster crumble is still heartbreaking for me. 💔
Toys r us my child hood memories 💙
Saw people holding close out sale signs for Toys R Us, was rather heartbreaking. Loved that place, even if it was stupid expensive.
Toys R us is closed Forever
No Toys For Yall.. Thats the new motto.. Great video Watchmojo..

Waiting for Facebook And Toyota to be next.
I have a Blu-Ray copy of Stuart Little that I bought at my old Toys R Us store a couple years ago. I will forever cherish it.
Rest in peace Toys R Us how to remember the jingle I don't want to grow up I want to be a Toys R Us kids
kids don't need Toys R Us any more, they need smart phones.
Blockbuster T.T
For Toys R' Us, rest in peace. You'll forever be missed.
For Enron, rest in pieces. Scamming those people out of their money is greedy and evil and the higher-ups of Enron can go straight to hell.
Requiscate en pace Toys R Us😭
