Earlier this week the Brooklyn Paper wrote that Toys “R” Us would be opening a seasonal store in the old Sid’s Hardware space on Jay Street. (We wrote up that news, when it was still a rumor, a month ago.) Now it’s looking like that may not be the only pop-up store the toy giant has planned for Brooklyn. Based on a tip, we snapped these photos yesterday evening of two stores currently undergoing transformation—the old Blockbuster video on Flatbush (pictured left) and the old Jeans Express store (right) on 11th Street and 5th Avenue. Looks like they’ll be here just in time for holiday shoppers.

  1. Snappy, as resident spoiler of “the Heir”, I agree. I try to buy my nephew books and old fashioned toys, toys that take imagination, art kits, games, etc. Haven’t had any complaints yet, and his parents appreciate it, too. There are plenty of other people in his life to buy him the plastic trucks and all the other stuff he has. I also hate to go to places like Toys R Us, especially at Christmas. I went to the one that used to be downtown once, and ran screaming from there. What a mess.
