Nickelodeon's Toy's R Us Shopping Spree!

[42nd-delay]

I forget if this was the actual name, but it was this contest they used to have on Nick where the winning kid would have 5 or 10 minutes to go buckwild in a Toys R Us, getting as many toys as he could. It was my dream to win the contest, though I don't think I ever entered, or even knew how, but anyway...

Does anyone recall this? When did they stop doing it?

I remember that! I actually entered it one year. You had to send in a postcard to enter. My mom bought about five of them, I filled them out, and she mailed them in. Of course, I didn't win. That contest looked so cool. I wanted to get every Barbie and Cabbage Patch Doll there was.

Oh, by the way, which one's pinky?

Indeed Swing King.

I had my game plan ready too.

Straight to the Nintendo rack, and 5 of everything.

Simple game plan for a simple man.

I remember this well too, never won, neither did anyone I knew. I had a similar plan to Moes. Go for the games and electronis first, then of course Star Wars/G.I. Joe figues.
I think it all ended when and elderly cashier got taken out at the knees by a mongoloid weilding a shopping cart at 15MPH
