Of the play section. I tried to play at a McDonald's play place when I was 19 and learnt the hard way that adults don't fit  :\'(

As I said over and over in the previous thread, a bankruptcy is not always necessarily the death knell of a company. The number of times big airline companies like Delta and Turkish have been in Chapter 11 bankruptcies would frighten you to your core.

In Canada, Toys R Us never went away.  As a collector of video games and action figures, I go there quite often

Yeah, but it will be modern Geoffrey the giraffe not the vintage one we all love.

Vintage Geoffrey was dropped in 2001 for an animatronic live giraffe as Geoffrey. Toys R Us revamped Geoffrey after the idea to use an animatronic live giraffe as Geoffrey failed. Geoffrey returned in modern cartoon form in 2007 and that’s the version that was last used before Toys R Us closed.

Mine neither. Which is a annoying because Toys R Us has like an entire row of parking at the mall for expectant mothers and they're always full and I strongly doubt there are that many expectant mothers
