@@girliespaklepupGolden Toys "R" Us has made a big comeback in the United States since 2021, with two mall-based flagship stores, one at American Dream Meadowlands and another at Mall of America, with more locations being planned. In addition to all of that, there's 400+ locations inside Macy's department stores. There's also the Canadian Toys "R" Us stores, which were sold to some Canadian investors, who helped turn around their stores in 2018. Toys "R" Us Canada is still around as of 2024...

I was under the impression Tamagatchi was "Egg friend." Egg is tamago, friend is tomodatchi.

I’m still going with tamagotchi 😊

Oh my gosh, even though Tamagotcchi was the biggest of the virtual pets fad, GigaPets was what I grew up on. I still have my original Compu Kitty and 101Dalmatians GigaPets. Even added Sabrina the Teenage Witch's Salem and the Little Mermaid GigaPet to the collection for nostalgia sake. Those toys fascinated me not just because of the caretaker aspect of it, but something about the LCD screen and the way the critters were pixelated was (and still is) a visual aesthetic to me. The sprites may have been small, but even as a kid, I could tell what was happening from watching the animated sprites, and I always felt happy playing with them. GigaPets were a big part of my childhood, and I feel like they're sentimental parts of my childhood I'll keep with me for the rest of my life

Ironically I think giga pets were better for young adults than children, since they required more attention and time. I had the Floppy Frog around 4th grade-ish and could never get it past the tadpole stage. Just like like a pet irl, I had no time for it between school, sleep and extracurriculars

I had a similar experience. When I was seven years old, I got a Rugrats giga pet. I went outside to play in the backyard and I had it in my pocket. When I came back in the house it was no longer in my pocket. Five days later it was in the yard, ruined by the rain.

I think I started with a nanopet and then got a giga pet. I didnt remember it until I saw them on here lol

I remember being in the first grade when virtual pets were a really big fad. So many children brought them to school and had them confiscated that one morning the principal got on the intercom fussing at us and letting us know that they would not be tolerated. I also remember feeling like an Einstein of a genius for having the common sense not to bring my computer kitty giga pet to school.

It seems like the “purpose” sort of evolved as the toy became more popular, so by the time it made its way to the U.S. it was just more of a lesson in taking care of pets.
