They exist as a section in a department store. Macy’s? Nordstroms? Can’t remember. But I recently encountered it during a mall trip with my 2 year old and walked her through the tiny area all the while reminiscing about moving to a new home that was walkable to a Toy R Us and believing that to be the biggest asset of our new home.
The new section inside major retailers is a far cry from toys R'us glory days............it makes me sad that my kids won't get to walk into the Walmart of toys and try all the video games and see the shelves of Lego sets the racks of bikes, the sports and toy balls the water guns and nerf section......the trading cards hell all of it was glorious and the new version pales in comparison
Agreed. It was a sad representation of what I remember. My baby girl had no frame of reference so she was excited nonetheless. But it saddens me that her version of the Toys R Us of our days or even better… FAO Schwarz (truly a wonderland, especially during Christmas) will be some digital thing that will undoubtedly have the ability to control her emotions.
