Toys R Us

Yesterday we decided to take a trip to Deepdale retail park, mainly it was me wanting to go to Hobbycraft! But i do love going to Toys R us before xmas just to see what the kids want, even though i have bough what they had on there lists already.
Straight away when we walked in was all the Star wars stuff and that was Paul! very very happy, where Star Wars is concerned he is a big kid, but i suppose that reminds him of being a kid, as it seems by the piles of Star wars toys he still has, that its what he asked for and got, every Christmas. He was lucky that his Dad worked for a supermarket and he even has a figure that apparently there are only 17 of in the world! as it was taken off the shelves before many were sold, but his dad got him one, can't remember what its called, but we keep it in a tin and the kids are allowed nowhere near it, the other night he looked and another one is going for £1000! sell it is what i said, but no we are keeping it apparently!
Still Paul was like a kid in a sweet shop!

In car selfie and trying to get little Ali into Star Wars! he will have a job as Ali is only into wheels!

He was telling me , he always remembered going to toys r us when he was a kid on his way home from visiting his grandparents, i don't remember ever going there till recent years, my grandparents lived in Cheadle, so a different route and not past the shop like him, lucky him, made us laugh.

I was really surprised to see all the people with trolleys piled high with toys, they are so expensive in Toys R us compared with other shops.
The last few years i have bought the popular toys online, mainly with Amazon, but this year i have googled each toys and bought at different places and saved a fortune, would love to work it out exactly, but something i saw yesterday for a reduced price of £30 i paid £9.99 online!, in fact most things i had saved at least £10 and when you add that up its a lot. Lucky for me the things the kids had on the list, is what they still wanted, apart from Ewan who wants to have a Wii U instead, sorry not going to happen! We are not into kids having computers and he is lucky he has an Xbox 360, and that's only because my nephew was selling his with 30 games, that he got it for xmas last year. He did say afterwards can he still have the skateboard and scooter and games he has asked for, so he won't be disappointed.
Afterwards we managed a quick visit to hobbycraft and i bought a latch hook cushion kit that was reduced and loads of felt as i have lots of projects for the kids to do with it..
Then we went to Pizza hut, and Fred discovered the sweets next to the ice cream factory, need i say more!!!!
