The picture of the beloved mascot standing admist empty shelves in Connecticut has broken the hearts of thousands of former kids who are now adults as they mourn the demise of the toy kingdom. The company filed for bankruptcy last fall and announced it was shutting down for good back in March across America, though is still in business in Canada Rene Johnpiere, believed to be one of the last employees of the company took this photo which has now amassed 300,000 shares. She posted other photos of the empty store including a sign with a cartoon version of Geoffrey painting the words "I guess everyone has grown up. There's no more Toys R Us kids" Another poster has a letter from the giraffe that read "One day, all of us wil get separated from each other. We will miss our conversations of everything, and nothing, and the dreams we had. Days, months and years will pass until this contract becomes rare. One day, our children will see our pictures and ask "Who are these people?" and we will smile with invisible tears because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say "it was with them that i had some of the best days of my life". Thursday night was the last day the employees gathered together to say their goodbyes as the doors locked forever Are you sad Toys R Us is gone?

It's just a toy store. For little kids.

Oh fuck, the last day already happened? I wanted to give it one more go. Now I'm really depressed.
I stopped in one maybe two weeks ago and it still had tons of stuff around. Man, why couldn't you have posted a notice that this was the last week sooner? You've dropped the journalism ball, Ducky. Would have picked up some super cheap Amiibo or some shit. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Last time I stopped by, they still weren't super-cheap (other than Palutena) which is probably why they still had a whole mess. Did buy a Ryu, though, for like $5 or $6. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not done here. Apparently they made $1B in Canada last year.

Yeah, it's kind of sad to see another business fall and lots of people lose their jobs. Plus, I have fond memories of playing Sonic Adventure a lot at their in-store displays.

I am. Growing up I was poor so I had only been to Toys R Us a handful of times as a kid. But when i got older, there was this Toys R Us by my go-to movie theater. Whenever I had a movie date and there was time to kill, Id always go to that Toys R Us to see what I can get my little brother, niece and nephews. And I'd always end up carried away playing with all the s*** that was there.
