You think Amazon will lower the price of toys if TRU is gone? You sir are in the wrong, if you think you have other options like you do now. Ideally when something folds, another store will take its place, but in the reality we live in, the answer is no.

Physical stores might go under and Amazon will simply compete less. Less discounts on those toys we love.

Be thankful it is the babies r us. But sad to see the PR movie failed. I saw it and it sucked. They should have, 20/20 vision just did an alternate retelling of the original MMPR or maybe even tell the original Japanese version. Instead this insane version where everyone has a criminal record and tries to virtue signal. Maybe they should have been daring, and gasp, use actors in suits and eliminate the awful CGI.

Whoever made that movie needs to go. The animation studio, the writers and concept artists. This had such a Michael Bay Transformers feel, and that is not a compliment.

Because Toys R US is a specialty store like KB Toys was.

KB Toys going under had very little effect on domestic retail in the long run because it was very narrow in product to begin with.

If super markets like Walmart start going under that'll be the true death kernel for domestic retail.

You are aware that all of those manufacturers sell though digital stores like Amazon as well and more and more are starting to see online sales as more important then domestic retail ones?

Of course it will, it's primary competition is Best Buy and Walmart both of which have sizable online stores themselves and other online retailers.

Funny that you mention lowering prices though because going by that article one of Toys R Us' problems is it's refusal to slash prices to compete with Amazon and Walmart.


Physical stores won't go under as long as they're more convenient to buy food and clothes from.


EDIT: Thought you were talking about the domestic retail industry not toys specifically. Still that seems to be slowly focusing more on online retail anyway so I don't see Toys R Us as the huge loss you do.
