In the Philippines, the store in Robinsons Galleria now has a giant Cybertron/Galaxy Force Optimus Prime tearing through the Transformers display. This works perfectly with the upcoming leader class figure.
In Canada, Toysrus is making sure kids have something to do for March break (next week) with activities every day. They can be seen below. This was posted on their Facebook page along with a video showing them keeping a yearly tradition. They had a contest to find the next Chief Play Officer. The announcement happened to take place at your fellow editor's local Toysrus store.

. Seriously though, in a recent episode of The Simpsons, they did a mock up of one of those old contests, where one lucky kid would try to fill up his shopping cart with as much as he could in 5 minuets. Of course the Simpsons version twisted it, (Krusty Toy store instead of TRU) and had 3 contestants (Bart, Ralph & Milhouse), it was more a race, rather than a timed event, and only one of the 3 kids would get to keep all the stuff they grabbed.
