Toys R Us was awesome for LEGO. Great selection, they price-matched Amazon, and you could pick out the exact box you wanted.

Folks on r/Lego complained nonstop about them, but only because they didn't take advantage of the price-matching.

As far as I'm aware, they are different. Toys R Us was acquired by Tru Kids in 2019 after filing for bankruptcy. As a lot of stores shut down, not every one did. There were a few operational locations and even a few were newly opened (and failed because of COVID).

Then, they agreed to a partnership with Macy's to open in their brick and mortar locations as Macy's will do the fulfillment. Toys R Us is licensed property and not a merchant anymore.

>Lindbergh explained that in his airplane his chair was made of wicker and there was a hole in it. And there was a funnel below that hole. And his waste, whenever nature called, would go down through there into sort of an aluminum can. And so he explained that and said that rather than show up with it in Le Bourget, the airport that he landed in, that he just dropped it over France.

Is this not a perfume atomizer?

Nice, that’s different. Usually it’s mundane with it being straight up/down or flat.

I believe there aren't many of these in the world. The wynn casinos in Vegas and Boston both have one.

Is it the same business making a comeback, or a more complex story? Some of the world has Woolworths but they were standalone, often different kinds of business in different countries, Nokia came back via licensing the name.

Believe it or not, they are making a small comeback here in the states. Typically, they will now open in a Macy's and not as an individual retail store. The 500 Macy's stores in the US will also have Toys R Us.

Gosh I miss them and remember when they closed. Glad to see them back!
