Shyt seeing Toys R US gave you goosebumps as a kid. Ghostnusters Ninja Turtles shyt as a kid was wild

I feel like children’s merchandising had hit a strong stride around that time. Especially when it came to selling a toy that was connected to a new IP like say how star wars toys became a big economic engine for the IP in addition to the movies just being very popular. Or like how Batman did with the first Tim Burton rendition. Those two both happened at the beginning and the end of the 80s

Toys R Us the size of a supermarket or Target

Going through the whole store to pick one thing you really wanted

The hardest decisions in life were made in that video game section

The air in there was charged, like there was literal magic in the atmosphere.

All that plastic hit the nose like candy kisses.

Kids will never understand how good life was until they're adults.

Was just at one buying some gifts. Prices have gone crazy but funny enough my son still likes how wheels so I got some as stocking stuffers. Still $1-2 Canadian. That’s not bad.

Imflarion is a bytch though. Think about what governments have done to drive prices hisgher.

I remember going as a kid and always holding out a glimmer of hope that the one and only Geoffrey the Giraffe would slide thru and make a cameo appearance.

Anybody else get the audio recorded phone calls for their birthday?
