I guess I was too young to read english back then. The arabic name as ‘and’ not “r” and I’ve always recognized the arabic name not english one. Anyway, this ad does not seem to be ‘stealing’ the logo.. but it rather shows that the company license is still there and نحن والاطفال are still trying to operate. no? because according to the website… نحن والاطفال are their sponsors.
Ya it was in Rai I think next to safeway lool
Nice memories that time ….
Thanks Mark
if i had a Time Machine I’d go back to ONLY the days when i went to their huge store “Farwaniya’s store”!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!! I miss my Thundercats figures :C
I still have my thundercat collection! They were only some of the few items of mine that survived the invasion 😀
Awesome! My He-man is a cripple now since the rubber band that attaches his legs snapped off due to age 🙁
Kids R Us was my shrine when i lived in Kuwait before the invasion. Lost all my Legos and every single Transformer that ever went on sale to that date… i don’t think I’ll ever get over it…
I never got over losing all my toys hence why I am on a mission to get them all again from ebay 🙂
Brand new thundercats are damn expensive though 🙁
I lost all my Thundercats and Heman figures, even their castles :'(
Toys R Us is different, we’re talking about the Kuwaiti creation Kid’s R Us
its useless Mark. Some ppl just don’t get it.
I didn’t compare I was just stating what they had and a tweez I don’t need to get it if I was nit brought up in Kuwait!
Not*
bastardized kid R us logo + online shopping site that nobody has ever heard of = hopeful site traffic
Doesn’t this remind anyone of an ice cream logo?
OK is that even legal? Taking an old logo and brand name and reusing it for whatever it is they are using?
For a moment there I thought kids r us was back! I still have the last every toy I bought it from them while they were closing down in 1994 :'( Sad sad days!
So we ALL lost our toys because of the invasion. My question is who has them now? My neighbors stole my toys and if I knew their last name I would look them up on Facebook and see if they still had them. Would be a cool story if they still had my toys and packed them up and shipped them to me.
all my toys r stored up in the attic…i dont even have the guts to try and see what 23 years have done to them
I’d go their now .. to vent my anger and buy everything i ever wanted as a kid … would you?
I did that at a video store .. got me all my fav cartoons from the 80s… bought all the volumes i couldn’t buy when i was a kid …
am thinking of getting my kid one of those video games … e.g. pac man
FYI, if ur ever in london (or dubai mall), stop by hamleys…every time im in london i HAVE to pass by there and spend a fortune buying toys for my nieces and nephews…yes, the toys r for them, but walking around in hamleys looking at the new toys never gets old…just tons of fun =D
Oh yeah .. I can remember it very well
وااااااي صج ايااام نحن والاطفال انا اذكره كان كبييير والعابه ورعه صج فقدناه كان بابا يودينا نشري منه وشريت الكوالا
It was always Kids R Us before invasion. Back in mid 80’s what a magical place it was.

I Don’t understand… it has always been kids & us. We only had kids R us after the invasion in many many years…
Nope, it’s always been Kids R Us, check out this ad from the 80s
