I had purchased the Toys R Us lego set a week ago & it took about 5 days for it to ship & come. This is one of a special edition that does not sell on lego's website or at any Toys R Us stores anymore, so I was happy to get this for $50. Even though I'm not sure if it was the owner's part or the UPS part for sort of ruining the lego box, I wasn't too happy to see the box in a non-mint condition (I keep all my lego boxes in mint condition). But overall, everything was alright.

Willy wonka's toy land
February 19, 2015

This is what Willy Wonka's factory would look like if he made toys instead of candy! You can get your whole Christmas taken care of right here and the fact that they have rewards, coupons and offers just makes it even better! The only problem is getting your kid(s) out of the store lol.

My daughter loves these Octopals. They're very cute and she likes to line up all the little babies in a row so that their eyes are facing her. They can be stuck to almost any surface in the bath with their suction cups and when you squeeze them over the bath, each one makes a different squeaky sound. Best of all, they're very easy to squeeze and so they can be kept very clean. Some squeezy bath toys grow mold if you don't empty out the water every time, and some of them are difficult to squeeze. These little guys are very squeezy and so you can be sure 99% of the water is out when you clean up after bathtime.

Bought an RC car for my son. When we got it home it didn't work. The wait at the return counter was kind of long but they did let us exchange the car.

Im speaking from experience in the Leominster, MA location. They are always out of stock on the most wanted toys. They have poor selection for a big toy store. You would think they would have more fantasy/video game/tv show section of toys. And when i ordered from them online, for Christmas. They sent me the wrong item(s).

I order several items from babysrus and payed for expidited shipping but the items were late. I had to go to the baby shower with just a receipt. It was a bit embaressing but when the items did show up they were good quality. I will order earlier next time and forgo the expidited shipping cost.

Great for the kids good choice of toys, however they need to lower there prices as you can find the same goods online for cheaper but for the conveience of shopping on the day the price is worth paying the little extra

Has anyone else pre-ordered amiibos from Toys R Us? They initially cancelled my pre-orders a few weeks after placing them, then offered me a coupon and exclusive link to re-order them, so I did. Received a confirmation email instantly and then another email a week later saying they were getting ready to ship, then they got cancelled again. The problem occurred when I initially ordered from Toys R Us instead of gamestop, walmart, amazon or any other seller that had amiibos. Toys R Us ran out, so now I can't get them. I contacted Toys R Us and their customer service gives me a generic canned response, so I contacted BBB due to their customer service, which went as well as can be expected, BBB did say that they would monitor Toys R Us account over the next few days for similar complaints, so if anyone has had any issues ordering from Toys R Us website, amiibos or not, I invite you to file a complaint. http://www.bbb.org/new-jersey/business-reviews/toys-retail/toys-r-us-in-wayne-nj-*******/

Never had problems with them. Yes, prices can be a bit higher, but you just have to look out for there deals. As far as the shipping goes, it doesn't take too long for home or store delivery. And they always have hard to find toys.

Okay so we all have fond memories of ToysRUs... right? Well I ordered a powerwheels type of car a Fiat for my niece in blue. They sent the wrong color and I ended up with white. Her favorite color is blue, so this was upsetting to me. I called customer service and talked to them about it. The first person I talked to on the phone was very unhelpful and I demanded to speak to a manager. They promised to replace it in time for her birthday which is 10 days from now. I wish the person I had talked on the phone first was a nice and didn't have to talk to a manager to get it done. But at least it's done or I hope it is. We shall see. I'll still always shop at ToysRUS but probably not online anymore. I'll stick with going to the store so I can make sure I get what I want the first time around.
