New My Toy Store
Last night I was checking out the Tamiya cars Frog and Hornet online and figured I would pass by the Tamiya dealer in Kuwait, My Toy to check and see if they had them. Today out of the blue my friend calls me up and asks me if I wanted to pass by the launch of the new My Toy store in Shuwaikh. Turns out they opened up a branch at the trendy Tilal Complex and the official opening was today so after work I passed by to check it out.
The new store is small but the location is really great and they had this huge indoor race track setup in the basement which I think RC fans will love. I spotted the Frog and Hornet on display but it was too packed to check out properly so I will have to go back this weekend. I used to love My Toy as a kid in the 80’s so its great to see the brand still alive.
Now someone please bring Kids “R” Us back to life!

ISF-Man: You must have never been to Kids R Us. It was a HUGE toy store, Barou isn’t a toy store..
Bavud: Kids R Us was the Kuwaiti version of Toys R Us. A copy.

Kids R Us was awesome. It was like a supermarket for toys, complete with shopping carts and all. My dad who worked in Alghanim back then would take me there on employee days and I’d get one cart to fill with whatever I wanted. Oh man!
