How Toys“R”Us Accidentally Gave Away Thousands of Toys and Electronics
When I visited this abandoned Toys“R”Us in Glendale, CA, I was reminded of a few things. First, the joy I used to feel coming to these stores as a kid. Second, I remembered how sad it was when the company announced it filed for bankruptcy, and eventually closed all its locations. And finally, I remembered when the company inadvertently gave customers one of the greatest deals of all time.
This is the story of the Skylanders toy glitch, and how it awarded some lucky customers thousands of dollars worth of toys and electronics for only $1.
