I have quite a few very fond memories of Toys R Us.
My Aunt and Uncle would come visit us and part of the ritual was to take my sister and me there and we got one toy each, under a certain budget. I typically got Muscle Men or GI Joe.
I can still smell that store in my mind...38 years later. And I can still visualize the GI Joe Aircraft Carrier that was holy unobtainium for me and my families budget.
All of this to say...I am thankful I never witnessed the fall. I hit an age where we stopped going and I just never went back.

- OccamsMirror 1y ago> GI Joe Aircraft Carrier Amazing toys like this just don't exist anymore. It's really sad. The 90s was peak toys for boys.
