I do remember it being one of the bigger TRU's I had ever been in and the Joe aisle was stocked floor to ceiling. When did it morph to only a Babies R Us and now it's switching back??? weird.
sorry for the late reply on this.
Last Christmas season, They used part of the store for a TRU Express. I'm guessing toy sales were solid and they've been remodeling the store so that it is both TRU and BRU in the same space.

I'm not sure if they are mainly into Joes or not but they will drop $300 on one visit and clear out the MU, Transformers and Star Wars right after the damn stock boy puts them on shelves...
I know every hobby has these kinds of people. They really are sad. I solidly believe Hot Wheels people are the absolute worst. I used to work for a Target (out in California) and every single morning they would be there at open and beeline it for the car aisle. They were so obsessed that when the PS2 was released, they were upset about the people camping out overnight and complained to a manager BEFORE the store opened and actually said that some of the PS2 people might go to the car aisle first!
