I haven't been to the flagship store in forever, last time I was there they had Phantom Menace toys and were playing "Baby One More Time" in the Sanrio section which was my whole reason for going there.
I guess whoever bought them out didn't take good care of them. I just learned that Toy R Us owns them now. I was at the Times Square TRU against my better judgement (decent store though minus the crowds) and they had an FAOS boutique which pretty much only had the "Big" piano.

I just look at some of this stuff, and can't imagine buying it for a child, or even wanting it in the house.

I guess the novelty stuff was quite the gag,
long before Oriental Trading http://www.orientaltrading.com/
or Archie McPhee http://mcphee.com/

I guess novelty items were "still a gas"
before catalogues such as Oriental Trading
or Archie McPhee.
