    Very cool. Born and raised in Brooklyn myself. It's been a few years since I last visited NYC. I think I should drop by that TRU the next time I'm in town. XD

    Dude, are u guys like the god of TRU.

    Blessed be our store that is stocked, maintained and doesn't look like shit!!!!

    If TRU would put 1/10 of the effort into the rest of their stores that the Times Square one has they wouldn't be having the problems that they do now.

    Damn, does this bring back some happy memories. I used to live in Bolivia, and there was *nothing* in regards to Transformers there, so the only time I'd get to buy anything was when I went to NYC on business. We'd normally stay around Times Square so I got to walk past this place every day for a week. Eventually I'd cram in a visit here and spend like an hour, just wandering around and having a good time. Sure it's expensive compared to the other TRUs but I had such a magical time I didn't really care :lol 

    Thanks to the OP and all the other staff members for so many happy memories.

    Most Toys R Us's I've seen are supermarket sized. But the one in Times Square is the size of a whole mall.

    Awesome dude, always nice to see fellow member works in Time Square TRU. Dude, let's us know or you can PM me whenever TS TRU put new TFs. I'm way up in the Bronx, I hated whenever new TFs come out but only to find none at TS TRU. Twice now and I haven't seen Hasbro MP Prime yet.

    With a store that big, and a lot of people coming in and out I'm surprised you guys don't go out of stock...Man! I can't wait to see what that store will look like when the 1st editions will get re-release there.

    ...Okay, here's what needs to happen.

    You, the OP, must buy everything in that store and mail it to me immediately. I'll pay you back in 30 years when I'm a rich, wealthy zillionare, so don't worry if I suddenly drop off the face of the Earth after you send me my stuff, I'll remember you.
