This is wonderful!! Im so happy they brought it back. It came on tv this week and I stopped what i was doing and just watched like a 5 year old. Im 21 and what fab memories it brings.
The advertising was great. It was the place you simply HAD to go to, "what you mean there's millions?".
Wow, things were expensive back in the early 90s! You'd get these in the pound shops these days.
I'd say it was an advert for the north as a whole, rather than the north east as Warrington is very much in the north west. It way have been on Channel 4 because they do north/south regional ad opts?
'Theres millions SAID GEOFFREY all under one roof' - took me years to work out what they were saying there and not 'millions of debris all under one roof'.
@Jennythebunnygirl they're back using it again now :D And they even use the transition into a box with text underneath at the end like they always used to haha.
argh those 3ft dolls used to give me the heebeejeebee's! i always remember a friend telling me that her ones (she had 2) were standing at her window looking at her one time. lol
i always wanted the 3ft high doll :'( but it was always out of stoke, well thats what my mum said anyway, she also said why do you want a 3ft doll for? thats stupid and i ended up wid this stupid one that never stopped crying!
I remember this add. Everytime I saw this advert I got really happy with a big smile on my face and I jumped for joy everytime I saw this ad. I used to say to my grandad after this ad finished I always said Grandad can you take me to Toys R Us please? Then my grandad always said come on then lets get into the car and go to your favourite magical place Toys R Us. Then I said yey. Toys R Us rocks I am an adult and I am still a Toys R Us kid. I remember the advert with the little girl and her bike.
These toys would have been like, 55 dollars in America... I don't think that's how much they were...

I think they stopped using him in 2006/2007 when the new Toys "R" Us logo was introduced
And they stopped using that Toys "R" Us advert theme music until 2003 or 2004
