Was This My Last Toys R Us Trip?

Last Toys R Us Trip

It is possible that Toys R Us will close all of their stores on Monday. It will be sad when this happens. I have been going to my local Toys R Us almost weekly for years. For years they were the place to be for Skylanders toys. I went year after year on launch day to pick up my Skylanders toys and then when I learned about them being released I went in search of them. I’ve had great times finding toys at Toys R Us and also had frustrating moments. However, I have been so many times that I made friends with a few people who work there and I feel bad that they will be losing their jobs.

So, hearing that Monday the stores may close I wanted to hit the place one last time.

How Many is Too Many?

Many LEGO Bricks

I’m writing an article for The toy Insider’s Parent Panel page and it is all about what to do with so many toys. I wouldn’t say that I have too many LEGO bricks but then again almost every post this week has been about LEGO bricks. Tonight’s photo was pretty much a cop out because I slept all day and when I got to work I really only had LEGO bricks on my desk. I’ve put away almost every other toy in my collection. That is, the collection on my desk at work.

I’m not sure what I am going to do with all my toys, knick-knacks and more. Will I sell them, give them away or something else. I haven’t really been missing the things I’ve boxed up, but I am sure that at some point I’m going to want to do something with them again, right? Maybe I should figure out what I’m going to do with my own stuff and take my own advice from my post for The Toy Insider.
