Toys R Us A Magical Playland of Toys
This last weekend my husband and I managed to get to Toys R Us. We had a blast looking around making want lists – and saying how we can’t wait until the Geekling gets a bit older so he can play with some of the toys. While I was there I took some pictures of stuff I thought looked interesting.
Star Wars Lego Playset Display
First, we went to the Lego section. They always has different displays of their new Lego sets….right now they have Star Wars. I love Jabba’s Palace Playset…it even has a Hans in Carbonite and when you look around the other side of the Carbonite, there is a little Han Lego guy, it looks like you can pop him out.

Aren’t the Storm Troopers, R2D2, and CP3O cute! I always love the Lego sets for the little Lego guys.
Spiderman Childrens Playset
After the Legos we were looking over in the preschool – early school area. Toys R Us has a cool Spiderman playset, which of course you can buy all the extra guys and vehicles aas well – so cute! Next to the Spiderman playset Toys R Us has all their Imaginext playsets. I already told you about the Geeklings Imaginext Batcave Playset, http://justadashofgeek.com/imaginext-batman/. Toys R Us has the newest additions which is Gotham City and Arkham Jail, as well as 6 character vehicles which are Toys R Us Exclusives.

We walked around a bit more and happened across this line of toys I hadn’t heard of yet called Mezitz. You can see in the below picture the Batman with Batmobile and Superman. They also had another Batman and Batmobile, but it was the movie-verse Batmobile.

Toys R Us seems to always have Minimates - at least mine does. I have seen Minimates in comic characters, but I hadn’t seen Battlestar Galactica Minimates yet.

Mad Magazine is carrying a line of action figures that takes the Mad guy and dresses him up as a comic character. They had him as Green arrow and Superman, but I thought this Aquaman was the funniest.

Toys R Us has a section with Hanna Barbera toys, which I thought was Awesome, so I had to share. There was Captain Cave MAAAAAANNNN!

I love Legos & more important any child that has come to my house
Have always loved them. Although all the themed Legos are so cool
I have found that you can buy the plain bucket of Legos, even the generic
kind & most kids will play for at least an hour & usually longer.
What is so amazing to me is they interest, boys & girls and they seem
to be great for any age. I have had company come over who had
kids with them, I drug out the generic Lego bucket and soon even
The adults were “helping” the kids.”
I loved this article, as it gave me ideas for Christmas!

I agree I love Legos for the same reason and generic legos are great – But these sets are too cool…. and not only are they for kids, but I know adults that collect these sets and display them as decorations…. Legos are versatile and transend age, which makes them great!
