Inside a Toys“R" Us Store in 2001 

All those kids you see are now old enough to have their own kids.

Thank you for posting this. 2002-2003 Toys R Us are some of my earliest memories and this is the closest thing to it.

I’m from 92. In 2001 the day before 9/11 I went to toys r us and my grandma bought me a creepy crawler bug maker set. Still remember like it was yesterday. The next day 9/11 happened and we got picked up from school early due to the attacks and I spend the next few days playing with my set and N64 and eating Burger King since some stores closed. I needed more goop to make my insects and toys r us was open but was so empty it was Erie. I’m 31 now. These kids in this video are all parents now I bey and have families of their own

Imagine we could time travel, but only see what we were doing from a third-person perspective

I remember doing Christmas shopping for my kids back in 2001. We would do the shopping so that Santa didn’t have to do it. My kids wanted that Gameboy advance thing the year it came out.

The Christmas music playing on the radio makes this 10x more

I was working at Toy R Us in 2001 while I was in High School. I can't believe this specific era was caught, so cool! This video hits me in the heartstrings though. 22 years ago honestly does not feel that long ago, sigh.

Shame there was no footage of the action figure aisles. Even into the early 2000s, they had Terminator 2 and POTF2 figures taking up space. At least in central Ohio.

When kids actually want to play with toys not their iPads.

We all grew up ❤️

I was working on the seasonal overnight crew during the Christmas 2001 season. Harry Potter was huge at the moment and I still remember the Monsters Inc display at the front of the store. Another huge seller that Christmas was the new at the time, Razor scooters. They had 1 or 2 other brand names but Razor is the only one I remember.

Jacob really doesn't want to be a cashier lol. Thank you for these videos, they're nostalgic gold!

Even though I was born in 99, I used to go to my local toys r us all the time when I was a kid until they shut down in the mid 2010s. From going and looking at original xbox to getting games and accessories for my ds/dsi, a true trip down nostalgia lane. Being stuck in the Lego and superhero section to riding the "open" bikes, skateboards, scooters, and rip sticks in the back of the store. Thank you for this trip

My inner child is screaming at you *" Go to the video game/ action figure section dammit"*😆

What a time capsule for sure. I remember I used to have the red-headed What's Her Face doll, one of the best toys I got that year. Thank you for the memories.

The Bratz doll! OMG ICONIC 💙

I was a full grown adult when this video was made. So nostalgic even as an adult. I did have fun being a kid and going to Toys R Us. Sad knowing all the stores have closed down.

I had so many of the toys shown in this video. Only thing missing was a clip of the Power Rangers aisle 🤣

I wish that I could have recorded things when I was a kid. I still have dreams about massive amounts of Gundam merch in stores, like how I remember it in my local Toys-R-Us.

This video makes me emotional for so many different reasons. This was hands down my best christmas you dont even understand the amount of games and dragonaball z/anime toys/merch i got. God i would do anything to go back to those times.
