From the in-game storefront

Our legendary toy sale is back, with the exact building set every child in the country wants, in stock everywhere, for once, and still not arriving. Lunch boxes, drink bottles, a calculator that does long division and a schoolbag in every colour your child will reject on sight.

The shop’s own retail character

Toy Sale on now: up to 40% off toys your kids already lost interest in. The store calls its basket a cart; its department names and advertised perks below come from the same storefront you can open inside the PC.
