I hate this!!!!!!!
I have literally asked them to bring a store back where I live cause I shouldn't have to go northward for two hours to one of the few in my state! Where I am, they closed the original back in 2002 or 2003. The local mall opened some Express locations around 2011/2012, but the agreements fell through a year or two ago and the last several Winters were without. I believe in Toys R Us and ALWAYS WILL!!! I don't like dealing with Amazon too much for product delivery, and Walmart is a "necessary evil" because of all of the problems in its life (doesn't take much to find Youtube videos slamming their practices)! Walmart doesn't have near the same level of exclusives and collectible memorabilia and Amazon, well.... I seriously hope that a Toys 'R Us Renaissance results from this, cause a world without them is depressing for kids and 20-somethings with more figures than a toy museum! |

I'm not at all surprised by this given the state my local TRU has been in for years. They still have 2009 GI Joe stuff clogging up the place and there comes a point when you just need to stop trying to sell them.
Hell, even barring the local place, their online ordering was pretty terrible. I recall the last time I ordered something from them they sent the bloody thing in a bubble mailer, which is fine for a DVD or Game- but not a figure card. Damn thing was smashed to hell and back. |

I'm shock to see this happen. I think with people just buying stuff online on Amazon, less people are going out to buy things at local retail stores.

Eh, I always found them overpriced to be honest. I won't be too mad about this.
