Yep, you know what else is sad?
Playing the video games at the electronics section in WalMart, I don't know if we can still do it now, but looking up so you can play the demos is actually a pain in the neck.

That really is a shame since my nephew was just born last summer, so now where am I going to shop for him for Christmas and his birthday?
Also, that was my go-to store for good Paw Patrol and MLP toys!

Well that's a relief.
I may have to do a pic about this whole ordeal.

Either way, that means all the Toys R Us kids in the world now have to grow up. :’(

That is not the case, Belchic! There are still many places, where one can be or feel young!
There are a lot of Toy places, too, Belchic!
I remember some times, I have, in Toys R Us! I remember getting a; “101 Dalmatians” Book, there, as well as the Sonic & Knuckles Game Collection, too!
K B Toys sounds familiar. What do they do, Two-Tone?

KB Toys was also a toy store, they were usually found at shopping malls.

I have memories of going to Toys "R" Us as a child and picking out various Disney soft toys, Puppy In My Pockets, and other items; as well as the catchy jingle of the adverts.
However my thoughts on the store were tainted somewhat after spending a Christmas period working there a few years back. Urgh! It was a pretty darn miserable experience.
Nostalgic memories remain, but not too sad about it going when I think on my time there.

Oh, I am thinking of M B, when it comes to Toys.
Though, Looking at Pepper's Post, I remember the previous time, I went to my Local Toys R Us, some years ago. I Know, before that, it would be about the Size of a Wal Mart Super Center (I think), but then, it went down to be smaller than a small Store, you would get in a Mall.
The Toys R Us, in the next City, is still the Size of a Super Center, though.
Is K B Toys going to be where the Toys R Us are, Two-Tone?

I’m glad KB is coming back. That was a big part of my childhood. Sure it won’t be as big as Toys R Us, but at least it’ll be something.

babclayman - not sure. most likely it might be back in the malls like they used to be.
