Damn Bro, you aren't kidding! I remember how epic the trips to TRU were.


I don't remember, quite honestly. I wouldn't doubt it though.




WORD! Remember Geoffrey would have all of his "buddies" show up at new store openings? Like the Get-Along-Gang & All*Star the Snork?

Wow. I just dated myself. I'm gonna stfu and get back to enjoying this werther's original while I glance at my reader's digest and pray that beatrice gets here soon so we get a good seat over at the Old Country Buffet.

That last bit about the werther's made me laugh so hard spit soda out my nose.

I had to go with online retailers for the simple fact if I order them from BBTS I know I will at least get one. They may take longer and a little more but at least I don't have to hunt a peck and waste gas or pay ebay prices.

I don't hunt retailers anymore I simply check them if I go or am passing by one while working, but no longer do I make special trips in order to find Joes.

I vividly remember wanting my own car at age six just so I could drive up to Toy 'R' Us whenever I wanted. I couldn't wait to be old enough to work, just so I could give my entire check to Toys 'R' Us! Then when I turned eight, I put two and two together and figured if I worked at Toys 'R' Us I could have it ALL!!!!

Wasn't TRU the first to allow its' customers to play/sample live video games in the store?

Anyone remember Geoffrey money?

I remember that stuff..

I have about 1500 geoffery dollars at one point.....

I've been able to pick more up and better up at Target, like getting 3 Flints on Black Friday, so I had to go with them.

ya TRU was the shit.. I remember endtire END caps like 12 FT HIGH with toys.. to the celing. (well it seemed like 12 Ft high because i was probably about 3-4 feet tall LOL

and they had rows and rows of toys...

now..... nope :(

i'd have to go with Target too, although they all seem to have floods and droughts...i just like Taget in general...

probably Target, just because I was working early morning and would buy the figs as soon as the store opened on my lunch break
