aw man. you can't do that to me.

[@MkMasterMike]

Yes he can! >:D

[@PaulRacz]

This was sad as hell. It doesn't just represent the death of the childhoods of those who grew up with Toys R Us, nor does it just represent the death of a toystore chain, but it represents a major shift in our society. Whether that shift is good or bad is still to be decided, but I will forever consider myself fortunate to have grown up in a era before computers and smart phones, playing with my big bin of Ninja Turtles toys on my bedroom floor and being in awe of the rows of plastic packages of countless action figures and toys on those occasions I got to go to Toys R Us. Great video.

[@SculptureGeek]

This. Thank you :)

[@doctor_whoey3857]

I bought a knock off nerf shotgun there * sniff *

[@Stereo6400]

hey dude. I know how you feel. I was just shopping at target with my cousin who is 6, and seeing some of the things they’re selling and forcing into the brains of kids her age was.... ugh. Remember when that trip to toys R us was the highlight of the month? Remember when you didn’t know what LOL meant? Ugh.... she’s just been completely... well.... brainwashed by all this stuff, and it’s sickening. I know what you mean.

[@Stereo6400]

I’m so glad some people appreciate being born in the right generation. :)

[@lauraforwood1959]

I think something people need to understand is that things change and that though something may be different that doesnt mean it is inherently bad. And i have no doubt that when a majority of people became literate parents were complaining that kids were just stuck inside reading instead of playing outside, the older generation has been badmouthing what the younger generation does for generations.

[@DapperIndividual]

As silly as it might sound, even though I’m now considered an adult, even practicing driving, I still am going to miss the childlike whimsy of just a store full of toys. Even if I never truly bought anything it saddens me to so that I can’t ever take someone like my kid to one of my favorite places when I was younger.

[@flutterbree]

Thankfully you won't have to, literally two hours after this was uploaded, toys r us cancelled their bankruptcy and they're set for a revival!! 😍

As someone who worked there as a childhood dream job, I have to say that this is an amazing tribute, I know not a lot of people who worked for the company have seen this, but believe me when I say thank you, this is a perfect send off to all those wonderful memories made with what I considered to be my family.

You know that feeling, like video is giving you so much moving feelings, that you want to live inside the video? Or further, makes you want to cry? Maybe it's a nostalgia, maybe something else. But you know it's nice to cry for this kind of thing. And you'll never forget that happened for you. God bless him, Thank you.

[@FMAxel23]

@@SEFYH all i see is MIGHT be. But also saw their bankruptcy auction cancelled.

[@SEFYH]

@@Hy-Brasil Naaah, I called BS on the bankruptcy when they announced the closing months ago. Corporations lie all the time. They got out of one financial situation, just to restart again. I believe it's gonna happen. That's too much money on the table to not take advantage. The brand is too strong.

[@b_Wtv14]

Well I guess we will find out within the next year maybe, and even if they do make a comeback, it going to be REALLY hard, with all their places shut down and possibly where they had them bought and what not, so in my opinion I feel like it’s over

I'm genuinely more impressed each and every time you upload. This is a wonderfully detailed and thought out sculpture. The work that you put into recreating a Toys 'R' Us building shows how much you care. Geoffrey looks adorable, playful, and inviting; perfect for this piece. Along with some more impressive cinematography, the warm nostalgic feeling was clear, despite a lot of the elements hailing from before my time. You TRUly have an amazing set of skills. I hope you feel proud of your work, and that it makes you as happy as it makes us. ♥
