RIP Toys R US

Feel free to share about your childhood memories. I do remember that they used ticket paper for video game, so you take to cashier and paid with money, so they tell you to pickup in small window to pick up the new game.

I remember as a kid going there and being overwhelmed by all the games. I loved, and still do love, video games. I remember standing in an aisle top to bottom and side to side just filled with games. And yes, you could pick up the game from the aisle. You had to pick up a piece of paper and take that to the window and then someone would get it for you out of storage.

End of an era.

Yes, bad news for toymakers because Walmart and Target won't stock more and more toys due to limited space.
