Toys R Us (Shop)

...difficult to get to the toys I want to buy. I personally find the educational toys the very hardest to get to, which is a shame as they are the best things that they sell. To make things even worse, there are a number of bikes and dolls pushchairs that are left lying around (supposedly so the children can try them out), and added to these obstacles are the boxes that are left blocking the aisles. Let's just say that if you're pushing a wheelchair ...
...is a massive range of toys available, ranging from those cheap, tacky plastic pocket money toys to top of the range Barbie palaces. If you've got a character or brand in mind, I'm sure you'll find something to suit your child and your pocket. That's not to say that their range is complete, far from it, I'll often find that they don't have the particular toy I'm looking for. If it's a board game that takes your fancy, then you're in (semi) luck, there ...

...spent over £1000 pounds in Toys R Us. Every Christmas, we trawl for hours around the Leicester or Northampton store, in an attempt to find everything in one go. Birthday party invitations mean yet another trip, and our own children’s birthdays mean that yet more time is spent there. Where to find them. -------------------------- The two stores I use are: Leicester St. Georges Way, City Centre St. Georges Retail Park, St. Georges Way, Leicester. ...
...For the choice of toys and cleanliness, I would have given this store 5 stars, but for their Returns Policy, and the wait this entails, I have to remove 2 stars. Also, the lack of staff on the tills deserves another -1 star, and the car park problems at peak times, remove another 1 star. The prices are average for toys, being much in line with other toy stores. I would certainly look around for computer games, computers, games consoles etc, as they ...

...about three hours at the Toys R Us superstore in Preston, 90 minutes of which had us sat helplessly in our car while we waited in the vain hope of ever getting off the bloody car park. For rest assured when it's within eight weeks of Xmas AND Preston North End are playing at home, you'll end up very annoyed and frustrated when you visit the Preston branch of the Toys R Us empire. Now I'll come back to the store itself shortly, but first let's just ...

Deepdale Retail Park is situated on Blackpool Road about 400 yards from Preston North End's footie ground and that road, which leads onto the M6, has always been notoriously busy. I used to go down there on my way home from work when I was still living in Stafford and it ALWAYS took me 20 minutes to travel the 2 miles to the motorway. The problem was only exacerbated ...

Toys R Us must be the most well known Toy Shop bar Hamleys in London. It is a child's paradise to enter a shop which is just full of toys! The one in Edinburgh is situated at Fort Kinnaird on the east side of the city. You enter on the right hand side of the building and go through a tiny entrance area, which is full of trolleys, to the customer service area. The customer service area has to be the most uncluttered area of the shop. You then enter ...
...be a variety of different toys which are on offer within the store and also seasonal toys such as in the summer, toys for the sandpit, and at christmas, there are decorations. Just round from both of these you get popular pre-school toys such as tweenies, fimbles and Andy Pandy. This is also where you find the large cuddly toys such as teddies, rabbits, dogs. The first set of Aisles concentrate on Board games, jigsaws and Computer and Console games. ...

...make my annual trip to Toys R Us and this year is no exception. With mum-in-law accompanying me and £200 restlessly trying to burst out of my purse, we set off for the whole shopping experience. Toys R Us is usually ideal for us, as the kids are aged 5, 8, 9 and 11, so it is handy to be able to buy everything in one place. I’m not sure how long this will be the place though, as it seemed quite hard to find enough for my 11 and 8 year old daughters, ...
...The parking at our local Toys R Us is spacious, although it does get full as you get nearer Christmas. The trolleys seemed to be only one size and variation, not all the wonderful versions they have at Asda – but I just needed a big one, so that was okay. Entering the store, it is easy to see the place is huge with high ceilings and good heating and air-conditioning systems. Everything is fairly well organised, usually under themes such as ...

...popping out to my local Toys R Us in Bristol but now I avoid it like the plague. The first thing you see when you walk through the door is shelves and shelves of sweets, try getting your kids past that, to start with! Then we have the piles of very expensive things like mobile phones, game consoles, console games, etc. Toys R Us also seem to have aspired to the theory of pile it high, sell it cheap. Except its not cheap, its one of the most expensive ...

Some of the toys, especially the ride on trucks, scooters etc are on display and you are able to try it, hence lots of children on electric quads trying to run you down! Then there are the screaming children, lots of them. Well you imagine going to a store where your very favourite things are on display and you can touch them and play with them. Then ...

...£37.97 (ooh big difference) at Toys R Us. Off me and hubby went to have a look. We could both spend hours in this shop, but he wasn't too happy to be looking at dolls let me tell you. I picked up Baby Annabell and was walking very slowly down the dolls aisle when I spotted another range of dolls made called "You and Me". An interactive doll that does exactly the same as Baby Annabell for only £19.99, ( burps, laughs, cries, giggles). I checked ...
...If Toys r Us can afford to make and sell this doll for nearly half the price, then why do we always feel suckered into buying the most expensive items at Christmas? For this reason I love the store. It has it's downfalls certainly. Miserable staff, having leaflets shoved in your hands every time you walk through the door. And the toilets! I have only visited the Poole store, but the toilets are so high you have to be six feet tall to use them. ...

...of 11, a visit to Toys r Us with them is an absolute nightmare (for the parents, that is!). As soon as you enter the store in Liverpool city centre, the first thing that catches the eye of our kids is the vast array of sweets! Not just packets of sweets, but enormous bags that could feed half my street! Once we have managed to navigate our way past them, you enter every child's fantasy world - a store filled from floor to ceiling with every possible ...
...of the toys are overpriced, but, if you are shopping for Christmas, you have the convenience of it all being under one roof, albeit costly. The toys are under different sections and so are quite easy to find. The main problem that I have encountered whilst in the store is that children seem to be allowed to use the electric bikes and jeeps that are on display. I have had several near misses from crazed, demonic 5 year olds let loose on said vehicles! ...

As is often the case, timing is the essence when planning a trip to TOYS R US.

Ok lets talk about TOYS R US........I love the place.. As I said I always go childless, which saves not only the pennies but also the stress of saying NO 3-4 thousand times.

...get to visit our local Toys R Us. Although it is in the town centre it's in the opposite direction to most of the other shops so I only really go there when I can't find what I'm after elsewhere. It was my sons first birthday a few months ago and having searched all over town to no avail I decided it was time to pay a visit. So I left him at home with his dad and me and my daughter went shopping. On arrival at the store you are greeted with signs ...
...spacious. Despite it's size the toys are all in catergories and are extremely easy to find by way of huge signs to direct you to the correct aisle. If however you don't shop here very often like me you may want to browse. This is a pleasant experience as because of it's sheer size it is never crowded. Imediately as we walked into the store we saw a huge range of birthday accesories. These included cards, gift wrap, labels, party bags, toys for party ...

...Marvel at all the fantastic toys and chose one for your loved ones. However, there’s always a price to pay and a expensive one at that. I have yet to encounter a child that doesn’t love visiting ToysRus so a big tip if you are buying a toy don’t take the kid unless that is that you do not have money limit. Trust me there are so many toys that will mean you will not just end up leaving with one. Nevertheless, the variety in ToysRus ...
...there’s educational toys, there’s interactive toys and there’s all the latest toys. Looking for Harry Potter toys then look no further. Looking for Bob the Builder sets you will find them here or if you want to look for Barbie items then you will find them here too. It’s like food shopping but instead toy shopping and trust me you will have great fun. The store is big and with neatly arranged isles it will take quite a long ...

This is the shopping that reduces the most calm, confident, restrained ...

Kids just love to play - and ToysRUs is just a place to nurture their ...

I went into ToysRUs and decided to look around at the heavily touted BabiesRUs section. I had already been to Boots and Mothercare so I knew what the prices were on things that were on our to get list, and I looked forward to comparing those prices with this store. Surprise! They were NOT cheaper. Prices were either the same within a 5 to 10 pence variation, or else it was not exactly the same item. Case in point. We wanted to purchase a Graco Metrosport ...
...as a travel system. The Metrosport was only available at BabiesRUs as a pushchair only, no car seat, for £179. To purchase a car seat of the same calibre and similiar features would cost at least £60 and even then would not hook onto the pushchair. The travel systems that they sold that were of similiar quality were more expensive, closer to the £250 mark. Not very satisfactory. I turned my eyes towards other areas of interest. The Sangenic Nappy ...
