But the executives fought to get $15 million in bonuses for 2017. Assholes.

The fuck I was just at Toys R Us today and will be at one tomorrow. I hope they are not getting shut down mainly for the employees. Fuck the exclusives.

More than a few questions follow this!
- Has an official list of closing stores been released yet? - Could closing some of the stores help with their economic situation, hopefully leading to a revival in the brand? - If the chain goes "belly-up", could someone else cover the gap and replace them as a national toy mecca? This is personal rambling, but I do believe that the prevalence of online shopping has failed to deliver in one aspect: Reliable, One-Stop-Shopping from a trusted retailer with warehouses of licensed products! There was a time when Toys-R-Us had when no one else did! If nature abhors a vacuum, then can the Internet (and its current issues) cover the gap, or will something else emerge? - Given the enormous influx of products not found ANYWHERE ELSE and EXCLUSIVES...who will be left to market them?

For those interested, the Guardian this morning reports that the UK division is going the same way despite earlier assurances to the contrary. Toys R Us employs 3,200 people in the UK, who all face redundancy if the firm can't agree to restructuring.
Does anyone know which of the confirmed upcoming releases were meant to be TRU exclusive? |

This is a distinct lesson in corporate greed. I'd love to expand, but it doesn't matter because ultimately everyone loses except the shareholders.

Most likely not. The toy industry is fading and has been fading with the popularity of video games. To top it off, online retailers are also taking big chunks out of brick and mortar stores, signaling (IMO) an eventual end to brick and mortar stores for everything except, say, groceries.
As for the news itself, this is very disappointing. Not because I care about Toys R Us itself, I'm indifferent to the store itself, but it would suck for so many people to loss their jobs. |

They can close some of the Puerto Rico locations, those places got really messed up during Maria.
