I remember getting a lot of the 2000 stuff there. But it was an odd store. I think most of the times that I went in there, I was the only person in the store.
Only time I was ever at a Children's Palace was for a rave in a closed store that hadn't been used for anything else since. My mall had small stores like Toyco, Circus World, and later Family Toy Warehouse in a larger space. The latter was a decent store, I bought a bunch of Spawn and Total Chaos figures there. The TRU Express they had a few years back cut out leaving some unpaid bills.

I've seen many large toys at TRU working there the past six years, but it's mostly Playskool and Fisher Price stuff. During that time I've also learned that most people have no clue what the limit of their vehicle's cargo space is until they buy obviously large items there.
