As awesome as Toys R Us was, growing up, this was obvious years ago. The majority of kids don't play with toys anymore, and the ones that do, they're parents simply buy them from Wal-Mart or Amazon. Video games and mobile gaming are the thing now.

I would say I'd miss it, but the last Toys R Us near me closed down over a decade ago. I wonder what's gonna happen to that really cool one in New York?

This is very sad and worrying, because toys are much more important than videogames for a healthy growth of the youngest children. Videogames can help, but they shouldn't replace toys.

Well almost anything can be considered a toy.  I'm sure some kids might get a kick out of a tire still.  Too much junk plastic shit toys these days (was plenty in my days growing up too).  If I was a parent I'd give my kid a football or soccer ball and tell them to have fun.
