| 1322 | Article | vkimo | @Vapor I was thinking the same thing. Of all the MOTU (And any toy line really) merchandising, it's the promo stuff that's the most valuable. Store displays, event promotional items, etc. | Sep 24, 2014 |  | |

| 1325 | Article | pikachulover | Toys R Us was a big part of my life from 1986-1992. I lived across the street from one. That is the way my family and the other people who lived on the 3 house lot gave directions to the houses. Now it's a UFC Gym. You could see the large Geoffry sign from the Freeway. <img src="http://www.roadsidepeek.com/roadusa/southwest/california/socal/socalsign/socalneonsign/toysrusrsmdca-2.jpg"></img> I spent a lot of time in the "girl" aisles, but I liked to look at other stuff too like the bikes and art supplies. I miss all the seasonal stuff they carried like back to school supplies and Halloween stuff. When it was Christmas the parking lot was so full my family would just walk to the store. I used to get a lot of clearance items. My mom liked taking me down that aisle. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 25, 2014 | |
| 1334 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Wow, That's awesome! The clearance aisle was a favorite of mine too. If I had lived that close to TRU I would have been there every day after school hassling the employees about the latest X-Men figures in person, rather than on the phone. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 25, 2014 | |
| 1336 | Article | pikachulover | You can only go so many times before you get bored of it. I lived by the Toys R Us when I was young from ages 2-8. Actually when relatives come to visit we would entrain them by taking them on a trip to the Toys R Us. My cousins used to buy board games and visit my house. Play the game at my house, and then return the game and complained it was "boring". That location closed in the mid 90s. It got replaced by the Montebello store by the mall. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 26, 2014 | |
| 1671 | Article | BarryBgb | What a blast. Yeah, TRU was a big part of my childhood. The smell of plastic, rubber and other goodies that instantly hit you when you walked in. I spent a lot of time trolling those aisles looking at things I wanted and hoped to get. The pics in this article are amazing and really hit home. Sadly, the place was re-decorated and lost a lot of it's charm. It eventually closed and became Babies R Us. :( | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Dec 17, 2014 | |
| 1752 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @BarryBgb Glad you had good memories at TRU. I got to work there for one holiday season and tried to keep that same sense of wonder as I was stocking the shelves and helping kids find their favorite toys. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Jan 02, 2015 | |
