So it was a lot more common for Toys R Us to run their own sales to move merchandise

Ah, I remember that. I used to buy most of my GBA and Sega Gamegear games at Toys R Us, and most games went for $20 or less, and I think I got some deals around $5-10 for older games. This was a long time ago, so I don't recall specifics, but I do remember Toys R Us being the place to go for video games.
