My first was a Super Powers Robin figure.
My first WWE purchasse were BCA series 1 Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels.
My last was 2 weeks ago, a Monster High doll for my daughter.
I also worked for TRU for several years when I was in college and it was one of my favorite jobs that I ever had.

My nearest Toys R Us’ was Birmingham so I didn’t go often. First: Last (a friend brought it me on a NY trip in 2006): I’m glad the UK have Smyths because I feel like we aren’t missing out on much with TRU closing.

Not sure on the first, if I had to guess it was TMNT 88 series figures or original line of MMPR. Last purchase was from Christmas and it was Issac Yankem.

First TRU figure purchase was Hasbro Beefcake and Jake from S1. Can't remember last. Would have been something from the BCA Jakks line.

I am absolutely flabbergasted at how many of you can remember your first purchase - kudos to you all.
First TRU purchase for me: no clue, but I do remember buying several Hasbro's there over the prime years (oddly enough, I do not recall buying any LJN's there during their run - honestly don't think I did)
Last TRU purchase for me: 3 DM Macho Man's @ 7.50 ea. on 6/25/18.

My first Toys R Us purchase (that I can remember) was a Dragonball Z Jakks 2 Pack of Goku figures. My last purchase was a spare E43 Kevin Owens.

First purchase was in the early 70’s.
Last purchase was a Funko Lockjaw plush for my nephew and I. I also got him some Teen Titans figures.

God, a week later and this one still hurts.
Truth be told, KB hit me a bit harder. The nearest TRU was a few hours away, I'll be darned if I can remember the first thing I got there. Last one was NS AJ Styles.

my first purchase was either a Batman figure from the dark knight collection or a TMNT Michelangelo figure where you could open up his shell and store weapons in it. my last purchase was a Funko MK Scorpion figure.

Mine closed today. Made myself go, and I wish I hadn't. So empty. Even the crap...gone. no more marvel legends beetles. No more star wars zuvio. No more basic Lana. No more rusty rivets. Just...nothingness. Forced myself to buy an outfit for my daughter from the baby section. Just to have that last memory. I had that same experience but I don't have kids so I couldn't buy anything at all. I went in the day before they closed and I would estimate that there were around 50 or less toys in there. They were selling the employee lockers, pegs for the pegboard and they had a cardboard box full of used lint rollers and paper towels in lieu of toys. I would honestly say that wasn't toysrus and that they were already closed and just didn't know it. The last real visit I had while the shelves had something worth buying was a little over a month ago when I got the SH Figuarts Stone Cold for $20.

I can't remember the first specifically because of my young age, and because my mom actually bought it for me. But it was the original He-Man and Skeletor from the 80's "Masters of the Universe" line.
The final purchase was from April. WWE Mattel Retro AJ Styles and a Hot Wheels car.

That cell was one of the first things I bought and I completely forgot about it! I think I have it packed away somewhere

First TRS wrestling purchase was Randy Savage/Elizabeth WCW ToyBiz 2 pack and The Rock Jakks Smackdown Series 6 back in 2000/01
The last was Edge and Dolph Ziggler Elite 12 figures back in 2012
As a kid most of my wrestling purchases were at Kmart, got a ton of WCW figures on clearance

First that I can remember was CS1 Shawn Michaels but I'm sure I got more before that, last that I can remember in store , I don't really recall. Glad to have gotten all the final TRU exclusives before they closed though. Really sad to see them go. Such a big childhood memory taken away in an instant.

Still sad about this. A huge part of my childhood is gone. Was a place me and my daughter shared together as well
First purchase was a kitchen play do set ----first wrestling purchase was series 1 Hasbro Hulk Hogan and Rick Rude. Got Jake the snake and the hasbro ring for Christmas. Uses my bday money a few days later. I remember my toysrus only had hogan/rude left and I was super mad
Last purchase: American girl doll pie set for my daughter. Last WWE purchase was Elite AJ Styles
