I Didn't Want To Grow Up - Share Your ToysRUs Memories!

The closure of ToysRUs provokes a lot of emotions - sadness, frustration at the circumstances, and in some a misguided sense of satisfaction stemming from their latter-day pricing habits. But at some point in our lives a great many of us were ToysRUs Kids. And so longtime Transformers fan and ASMzine proprietor Phil Zeman has created the site I Didn't Want to Grow Up, which is accepting submissions of your stories and reminiscences of visiting what was once the premiere source of action figures for children and collectors. Click through for a link!

Sadly, the news we feared came true yesterday, and Toys “R” Us will be closing all their US and UK stores soon, unless a miracle occurs.

I have many thoughts on what happened, but that is not the point of this post. No, I want to share my memories of being a Toys Us kid, and I bet you do too.

So I’ve set up a Tumblr blog to take your submissions, and I am also accepting stories, pictures, and video via email. Please join me at http://ididntwanttogrowup.tumblr.com or email tru@asmzine.com.

My thanks to Andrew LoVuolo for the header graphic. Visit him and his comic at www.gistudios.com
