                  Who knows. Call up the TRU in Torrance and ask if they still have them in the back. Tell them you just saw a photo of them. LOL

                      Some folks don't do FB so thought they might be curious about the other photos.

                      I use to frequent the TRU in Rosemead and Van Nuys. Miss those places.

                                  I never went into a TRU until the 80s.

                                          Neither did I.

                                          But that may be due, at least in part, to the fact that I was only a fetus in the 70s.

                                              Well, I knew about TRU in the 70s. But 1)There wasn't one near me, they were out in the burbs, and 2)Even if there was, my mom wouldn't have taken me there, b/c I wouldn't have been able to handle it. A toy section in a department store was bad enough, but a whole store? I would have lost my mind!

                                                  I remember the grand opening at our toys r' us (now closed) having a 'parade' with Jefferey and many others dressed up as popular characters in the early '80s. I should have asked for a camera when I was a kid...

                                                  Does toys r' us still do this?

                                                      I have a similar TRU photo from about the same time frame, possibly early 80's. Even at a larger size I couldn't tell what was in the background other than that it looks like board games.

                                                          Toys R us as well as most toy stores are sadly in decline so I would say no.
