Because I am a Toy's R Us kid!
But We Be Toyz 'n Shit is going away.
I can recall the highlight of the bi-weekly trip to the mall in far away metropolitan Ames was the toy department in JCPenny's.
Then one day, JCPenny's didn't have toys.
Then Sears...
Montgomery Wards had a toy department when they closed forever, taking their excellent cafeteria with it.
I've been watching toy sections disappearing for a long time.
I lived in what was the heyday of toys, apparently.
When we lived in Bolingbrook, we had Toy's R Us and Dispensa's Castle of Toys.
Both are now gone.
I am sad.

My daughter goes toy shopping in Target (as well as discount and dollar stores) the rest is Amazon.
ReplyDeleteFor right now that works for her. When I was older, toy shopping became a surgical strike. I knew what I wanted, I saved up my money, then I bummed a ride and bought it, then started saving for the next item.
For that behavior, Amazon is ideal.
Gone are the days of excitement when entering a toy store. While Amazon is convenient as hell, you lose all the excitement of just browsing what's on offer. Picking it up, checking it out, nope, that's all gone.
ReplyDeleteI can't take my grandkids to a toy store, and that really sucks.
