      Yes, there is a store in the Mall of America that just opened and they are planning a couple more in 2024 but they have done this before in 2020 and It didn't last so my fingers are crossed but I am definitely hopeful that they stick around this time.

    Was around Toys R Us in the Wii/Wii U/Early Ninjago era. Great time to be alive. Once our local started preparation for shutting down and started gating off lots of areas in the store, we went there and got a 20" Mario plush as an homage to the place, as that was something we used to always want as a little kid. Still have it and never plan on getting rid of it.

    That was a great walk down memory lane. Can't believe how high toys have gotten since I was collecting the toys for Toyland about eighteen years ago. Agree with your opinion on Funko. However, we do have a few in Toyland we found reduced really cheap. I think they will go the way of the Beanie Babies in the near future. Love the history part of Toys R US you did. I will have to look up your Fan Boy stuff now. Looks like some fun entertaining stuff. Timothy Koehler used to tell me about those segments when he was stopping by our Toyland.

      Thanks Keith, Yeah it's unbelievable how much toys cost now. It really is. I was truly shocked by some of the prices there and even though they were in Canadian currency they were still outrageous. I see them a lot in my line of work and it's really unbelievable how much they go for. Yeah the old fanboy movie's back during the Star Wars club days were a lot of fun. We did them for about 2 years and had a blast while they lasted. It's hard to believe we started doing those over 15 years ago lol

    I believe like 80% of my Skylander figures came from Toys R Us since it was on my way to work so I'd like buy 2 figures on Sunday. Picked up quite a few when they were closing too. Sadly when I moved across states the nearest one was a 45 minute drive.

    The original monster high go for a lot but the gen3 dolls currently popular but not as pricey. The remakes and skullector series are couple hundred dollars though as only so many were made. I'm a doll collector so I can relate to your daughter's obsession with them. Those and rainbow high
    Our generation is actually found in target stores in America. They are just the cheaper version of 18inch American girl dolls. American girl Dolls are internationally known.our generation is not made by the same company just modelled in the same way. They actually have hard upper bodies versus AG dolls that have soft bodies.

    They actually have a home base full size store in NJ and the mentioned store at Mall Of America. I don't really count the sections at Macy's as real locations but the plan was to have 30 full sized Toys R Us U.S. stores opened in 2024 in time for the holiday season but still waiting to see if that pans out. The stores in Canada are owned by a totally different company with no affiliation with the U.S. company.

    Saw that the original toys r us look ones that are still holding strong are independently own and not own like the ones in North America. They have in other countries that much cooler as will.
    Sucks that the North American version today one is nothing crazily cool with the old nostalgia feel anymore though. It just feel like other normal toy store only now. Sucks that there are no longer video games and tech section anymore. It also doesn’t have cool toys like it use to anymore. Miss when you can get cooler things there like Tsum Tsum collection figurines and blind toys collection. North America is always a fail when the store is doing bad or it’s reviving again. Can never have that original feel again.

Toys R Us was never part of another store and when they finally bring it back like it is in Canada, then I will return... but until that happens, I'm rejecting their version of it in the United States... because that is not a true, real Toys R Us... that's a cheap knock-off!!!
