80's kids can u remember Toys R Us?
-
Browsing thru some old photographs of my childhood and came across some photos of me at TOY R Us when it first opened they had one shop in this place called SOGO in Cityhall? I can remember after so long...The MRT was already around at the time. First visited to this shop was in 1987 when i was 5...

During those days, children below 15 (I think) cannot enter Toys R Us without any adults. Still remembered how my friend and I succeeded in sneaking into the Marine Parade Branch.Originally posted by SilverRevo:I remember Toys R Us

Yeap, it WAS!!! And Tuesdays were Corny days. Buy one get one free!!! Actually, I was too poor to even patronize the outlet (Katong). My best friend will treat me to it every now and then. Hmm.......such sweet memories!Originally posted by Linkage:!! a&w was THE thing!
