But Toys R Us still exists. They're in every Macy's and still have a few brick and mortar stores as well.

Nostalgia is not about the actual thing itself, but the person you were when you enjoyed that thing.

Damn really? I was just thinking about it the other day and thought they were all gone. By Macy's, do you mean a standalone store? Or do they have a small section in a mall store?

They just recently opened up an entire toys r us store at the Park Meadows mall in Colorado

Yeah I can walk into the Macy's next door essentially and they have a Toys R Us section with a Geoffrey statue and everything. Meanwhile there's another mall not too far away that still has an open Sears and the Macy's in that mall also has a Toys R Us section. They also had a brick and mortar store in my area during the holidays last year that will presumably reopen during the next holiday season as well.
