I'm 34 and have a rather large Transformers collection of figures and other merchandise. It all comes down to money and availability. There are many stores that carry toys and some are superior to Toys 'R Us. However many bypass this to shop online at sites like BigBadToyStore, Amazon, and others. Lots of kids still play. Parents shouldn't get them smart phones, tablets, etc at such a young age.

AlecSkorpio 10/03/17 11:46:19 PM #47:	It's pretty sad. I could never figure out if everything just seemed bigger cause I was a kid or if they actually changed Toys R Us up, but I remember the place being so much better in the 90's. It used to have a layout like a warehouse, but like sometime around 2000 or 2001 they changed the whole store up and the layout was just so fucking bad and they stocked less and less toys it seemed like, but by then I was like 11 or 12 and getting out of toys anyways. But I have some bomb ass memories of us buying our Super Nintendo there when i was like 3 and going on a huge shopping spree with a shit ton of money I got for X-Mas when I was like 6. --- http://i.imgur.com/vQLlUd0.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/tWy9NTL.png <cite>AlecSkorpio posted [p:887771608] in Toys R Us ...

For my little cousins, I go on Amazon to do Christmas shopping. The prices are way cheaper than other retail stores. And they get delivered to me. Theres zero incentive to have to drive, find parking, deal with huge crowds and long lines. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:887771679] in Toys R Us ...
