My best Toys R Us memory was convincing my best friend at the time to walk there with me to get a game.
I believe it was during the Christmas break in 1989. I had received just enough cash to get a Turbo Grafx game. My bike was stolen earlier that year and my friends bike had a flat, so we couldn't do the handle bars or pegs trade off. I remember telling him "it's just one more street until we're there". Must of repeated that at least 10 times or so LOL. I remember it being at least an hour and a half each way walking. I checked the distance prior to writing this (3.6 miles). When we finally got there, I went running to the game section to those flip card displays. I ended up getting R-Type for 69.99 + tax.
Well worth the 3 hour round trip walk in my eyes. My friend had a very different opinion.
