That was a sweet MOTU drive by 🤩 party like it’s 1985!

For any boy from the early to mid 80's this brings back huge nostalgia.

I miss having dedicated toy stores to go to. Growing up we had a really nice KB toys and ToysRus by our house. I remember getting my first doll house and action figure playsets from those places. It was a magical experience that online shopping just can’t match haha

I'm old enough to remember the Lionel Playworld aisle stocked with original Star Wars figures. The entire right side of the aisle were figures, playsets and merchandise. Circa 1978. I still remember that strong smell of vinyl that permeated that store then too.

This video needs to come with a warning: WILL MAKE GROWN MEN CRY. This was beautiful and nostalgic. Thank you for sharing!

Love all the retro figures. We have plenty of toys r us in Canada. It never went out of business.

We are Kings again.

4:42 I miss this version of Toys R Us. That's the version I went to when I was a Child.

Cool video its fun to see that island full of MOTU toys shame my TRU only have a 4 feet long shelves Sure bring back 80’s memories thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for the memories. Toysurs is an iconic place. Memories and good times . Thank you so much for this video and all your videos .🙂🙏🏻😃

Nice all the motu goodness

so many He-man toys ❤

That's an amazing section What we have in Edmonton is honestly a 3 foot section with the same figures for months . I'd be totally caught up if I had that in our stores . Super cool Michael. Your videos are as always amazing

Oh my god look at all the shelves

Nice!!! If we could only throw away those netflix revelations show it would be perfect 😅👍

That whole island of Motu was awesome to see and those pics at the end really brought me back to being a kid again thank u for that Michael Mercy!

Not gonna lie, I cried a little bit, that was beautiful

I sure do miss Toys R Us!! what a Epic MOTU section

Thanks thanks for this.

Seeing full shelves of toys like that, really makes me feel like a kid again. I loved when my mom would take me to Toys r us. Wish we still had them here.

When I was a kid, back in the 80s, there was a store called TG&Y. they were like a cross between walmart and Target. But man they had amazing displays, especially as you would walk in through the front doors doors. as you would go in the customer service was right up front. but on the outside wall of it they had it fully stocked with toys. they would rotate it from time to time. I remember one time going in and it was all Star Wars. there were even some bins in the center of the main aisle filled with star wars action figures. later they would change it up to Gi Joe. I still remember seeing all those huge USS Flagg aircraft carriers on the lower shelves. vehicles on the higher shelves and the action figures somewhat spread out in segments. transformers took over at one point and then of course Master of the Universe. So many Castle Greyskulls on the top shelves, Snakes mountains. the vehicle below that and the figures also spread out. it was like Christmas there.You don't see that kind of thing anymore.

Love that MOTU artwork! You are very lucky to have access to this amazing store. I can only visit these toys in my memories now.

Okay, I'm that 80s kid again watching this.

If I was in Canada, I'll be visiting that Toys R US, taking in a rush of nostalgia and buying as much MOTU as I can. 😊🙏🏼 Thank you Michael. Nerdmasté!! It's like stepping back into 1984 or 85.

Oh, they even have the little comic books in there! That's what I miss the most.

A multitude of MOTU!😁

Also thank you for sharing as well, even if I can’t physically go to Toys “R” Us it’s nice to see those who can 😎

Wow! super cool! thanks for the tour :)

Nice!!! We miss ToysRUs in the states, great to see it near you though! :)

Wow... Both Toys R Us and He-Man toys still exist!

I recently overheard a small kid at Target that was so excited to be there to get a new He-man figure.

Such a pleasure watching your videos! Happy Father's day!! God bless you, great feel good content 💜👍

Must be nice to still have Toys r Us.

Michael, you guys in Canada are kings, ever since Toys-R-Us uprooted and left from down here in the US, we have been left wanting!

Up until now I've never thought of Canadians as being particularly blessed, but damn, this actually gets me hot. The Target and Walmart near me devote barely two or three hooks on their shelves for MOTU figures and just as much or less for vehicles (no castles, EVER), and now I find out that not only does Canada have fully-stocked MOTU sections, but they also still have Toys R Us--WITH THE COLORED PLANKS OUTSIDE, NO LESS! And I'm in So-Cal, too, so it's not like I can just plan a weekend trip across the border to pay them a visit. So now, after watching this, all I can do is just sit and stew as I wonder why we can't have it like this over here. If frustration had a face, it'd probably look like me right now. 😤

Our Toy R Us in South Philly the castles were at the very top, figures in the middle for us kids to grab and vehicles and beasts at the bottom shelf. The best days and yes we were kings and remain kings today at 46 I’m proud to say while I’m in a adult body I’m a 9yr old boy mentally.

I miss Toys R Us. I have never owned a Castle Greyskull. I don't collect Origins. But if I see one in person, I will have to buy it. Seeing them all together like that makes me want one so badly.

Oh wow. I had no idea toys r us still existed in canada. When they started closing down stores in usa i thought they were gone forever.

Damn I didn't know toys r us existed any more. That's awesome to have access to all those sweet ass toys.

Only in Canada. Toys R Us left the USA some years ago. But, when they were here, the aisles were never as neat and clean as they are in your video. Wow!

Miss toys r us here in us

I remember Wal Mart when I was a kid, stacked Transformers right when you walked in the door. Box on top of box, on top of box.

Seeing that display is great. Good memories. When Origins was announced I was hoping to take my boys to the store to choose/pick the figure off the pegs they'd like. We didn't get them here in New Zealand until late 2021 when we were coming out of a lockdown so I couldn't take them. I went nuts and came home with a lot of figures and vehicles. I ended up ordering more offline and we got a Greyskull locally. Since then its been the other MOTU lines or just He Man and Skeletor (the opposite problem of the mid to late 80's) with the exception of a random Clawful.

Good to see some kids still have toys r us. My kids will never experience that here.

I’ve been thinking about going to Canada just to go inside of a toys r us again, man I miss these in the states.

Simply amazing scene Mike! The Origin line is probably the best line today that actually reflects the look and feel of vintage figures!👍😁. Thanks for sharing🙏 Also Hans Chow creates amazing work! Love his art!👍😁

Envy Mr Mercy..where u are u do not need a time machine to enjoy this.🤗

Stuff like this makes me wish I wasin the US! SOOOO COOL!

This is so awesome. Even though I would never collect there toys (not practical for me and I always have gaming); just looking at these displayed at any store; fills me with nostalgic satisfaction!

I'm truly jealous right now! This is amazing!

love this video. thanks!!!!!

That's the way the toy aisle is supposed to look!!

This is such a sweet sight. I love how the section is well stocked. The overall display looks fantastic and is packed with variety too. This gives me retail flashbacks big time.

Nice to see all the He-Man figures but I’ve given up on this line since none of stores have got any of the new waves in over a year.

Man, I wish we still had Toys R Us down here in the states, it was really a one stop shop for everything you needed or wanted (nostalgia is real)

Snake Mountain was brutal!

This feels like a fever dream.

Ya'll (Canadians) tend to get stuff in bulk when it doesn't sell well in the US. Both Origins and Masterverse have been clearanced out a lot lately. I never once saw those original style head He-Mans here, and by the looks of it you guys got ALL of them! But thanks to clearances I was able to get a Panthor for $8 American last week!

Unfortunately these figs are clogging shelves everywhere while many waves have skipped us here in Canada

I miss toys r us!

Almost 70K 🥳

OMG I’m in love. 😍 haven’t seen an aisle like that in YEARS. Even when TRU was still in the states they had gotten so far away from what you’re showing here in recent times. When I say recent times I’m talking at good 20 years I’m guessing…Man…I may seriously have to take a trip to Canada with things like this being the reason.

Truely epic. Thanks for sharing this 😎

Beautiful. You should email the store manager commending on the display and email the Head Office commending the particular store for their amazing displays citing the MOTU one in particular. Positive comments in writing can go a long way with business management types

I hope that toys r us comes back soon

Awesome tour. I really want a big cardboard Bumblebee now 🙂 That MOTU section is fantastic 🏆

Same here in germany, clamp champ is a store keeper haha

That He-Man section is pure paradise.. Wow. Timeless nastolgia. "We Were Kings" I love it👍👍

I MUCH prefer the new head sculpt on He-Man, because it is basically the old head sculpt!

We're swamped with Ram Man and Clamp Champs here. The pegs are bare otherwise. (NS, CA)

I miss TRU so much

Yall still have Toys R Us!? Man I'm so jealous bro! Awesome video Mike! Keep em coming brother!

I might have to make a special trip up to Canada just so I can go to Toys R Us

Pretty common up here in Ontario TRUs, but it’s all wildly old stock at a higher price than any other retailer up here. With the exception of Origins Strider we haven’t had any new stock from Origins in around a year. All of the stock you see here has been on clearance at our Walmarts for months. Clamp Champ is going for $5 there. $19 for the Windraider and Landshark.

I wish. Every time I go to my local toys r us the shelves is empty. Very rarely do I find it fully stocked

Would love to see. Thundercats like this soon

I need to come to Canada soon.

I miss theToys R Us in the states..................

Oh I wish. The Toys r Us here in kamloops shut down due to sky high lease on the building. So it's gone forever.

Oh wow was this in KW?? I still need to get a he-man!

Cool.

Wow..wish they had this in India. Toys r us are here, but MOTUs are not sold. GI joes are missing too. Ones online are horribly expensive (Maybe 10 year olds are getting much higher pocket money these days, I am too old to know). Wish I could go back to 80s

I hate living in this cesspool of a country. So lucky you still have toys r us

If TRU has that type of buying power, I wonder if their new New Jersey location in the states has the same amount of product

What a great site!! Thanks for sharing Michael and Hans!! Nerdmasté 😃

'Fully Stocked' ...words you'd never hear/say in a US TRU a good 10 years before their eventual closure.

I need this store display of Revelation He Man , wish I could buy it.

Thanks for sharing, Michael. Did you have the urge to make a scene by shouting "I HAVE THE POWEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!"?

It looks impressive from a distance. But then when you walk up on it you realize it's just about nine different items

I am crying, and I have 44 ...

Toys R us??!! What?! You guys have Toy R us in Canada? Man, they have all just disappeared in the USA. & wow..I have never seen a fully stocked section of MOTU before.

I think you guys fell into a alternate 1985.

Woooooooooo

Meanwhile in the US, I can’t even find a classic Skeletor figure at Target.

Yup ain’t no toys r us over here in Bay Area California 😭😭😭

Huh not going to lie I thought ToysRUs shutdown a while ago. Neat

Oh my... Those origins figures... Lots of Clamp Champ and Ram Man. Even there Mattel distribution strategy is bad. And I though that was a problema just here in Latin America.

They're fully stocked because their scalper staff member got the coof

funny how it looks exactly like in Germany...He-Man, Battle-Cat, Clamp Champ, RAM Man and....that's all

I thought toys r us was gone everywhere your lucky UK got none 😭😭😭
