Toys Were Us (Part 4)

If you collect toys, you quickly learn that if you hesitate the one time you see that figure you want in a store, you're most likely not going to buy it “next time” because you'll never find it on the shelves again.

— This is not an official LEGO comic. This is a tribute.

awww man, these last few pages have been breaking my heart

Sorry, man, just had to get it out of my system, I guess! Only two more comics in this biographical series, and then on to the next big storyline. All I'll say about it is that it was inspired by the style of old Miami Vice episodes I've been watching.

I had so many good times at Toys R Us! I literally remember looking through their brochures every December and writing a list for 'santa' to get the toys from Toys R Us. Truly unexpected for the locations to just shut down, I'm still in shock. :(

That was so much fun, perusing those catalogues and dreaming! Toys R Us did go fast, and I fear that Barnes and Noble may be next.

Know that feeling

Same here. I miss trips to TRU already!

A bunch of things, Action Figures are a big one

May I ask what you collect?

Yeah, the sad thing is that whatever you miss out on at Toys R Us is going to be just a few mouse clicks away online. It's a big part of why they're going the way of the dinosaurs.

KDog at 8:49PM, Sept. 16, 2018

The thrill of the hunt just isn't the same online.

So true, but it's also one of the joys of eBay that sometimes you can find someone who just wants the old thing out of their house and is selling for cheap.

KDog at 2:04PM, Sept. 18, 2018

Agreed, as someone who has found good deals on eBay and also gotten hosed. lol
