    Or should a combination store with Babies R Us be pursued?

    This is off topic, but am I the only one to find this slightly disturbing? Toys R Us is where you go to buy toys, and Babies R Us... :uhm:

    I vote option D... mostly because of the humorous concept that @T Wrecks pointed out. Also - it's common that they are together and I like the signage :)

    @AsimPika3172 That is the same idea as Option D, so I'll assume you want that.

    I'll keep in mind that some of you want both B and D, but for now PLEASE PICK ONE OR THE OTHER or one of the other options. Thanks!

    So the clear winner is option D. I'll be sure to get started on that momentarially.

    Anyone have a good commercial door texture for automatic opening doors? I'm looking for good textures and not coming across any that I like.

    EDIT: Never mind.

    Great. *:thumb:

    In that new version of Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us, can you include the Toys"R"Us jingle as a query sound? SimGoober has done that in his versions of Toys"R"Us.

    Building is slightly larger then Simgoober's version. (3 1/2 by 3)

    Size will be kept in mind when making this stuff.  

    I'll be releasing this Toys R Us tonight after I make the lot for it.

    I'm so excited to see you have a thread! I just have to say, I'd be beyond excited if you made a new Kmart, especially with the "new" logo.

    Ok, I think this could go well with Goobers plop-a-shop pack, BUT I think it's a but short and needs vertical scaling up.

    That's not a bad idea. I may pursue something like that myself.

    Take a look at my profile pic. :D

    While a new Kmart isn't a priority to me, it is something I plan to eventually do.

    Who needs a break when you're having fun? 

    Besides, I'm going to have a forced one here shortly anyhow so this will probably be the last one for a few days. Any guesses? (hint: car)
