back like 10-15 years ago when I was collecting TF's it would always seem like TRU was just more expensive than everyone else. A Deluxe I could get for $8.-$9. at Walmart (or wherever) would be like $12.-$13. at TRU.

So for $30. it was like do I go to Walmart and buy three Deluxes? or do I go to TRU and buy two?

So it became that I'd only go to TRU if I had to, for an exclusive. But even then like when the G1 Masterpiece/Leader Starscream exclusive came out, it was exclusive to Walmart, so again they go my business.

I'll be sad to see TRU go because it was part of my childhood, ("I'd rather be a Toys R Us kid" commercials were a big part of childhood.)...but as an adult and worse an adult collector of Plastic-Crack,...I always found them to be overpriced.

Now I feel like if I'm going to pay a little extra like I often do with BigBadToyStore, I at least have the luxury of having the figures delivered right to my door. And I guess I feel like while I may pay a little extra, the "$4. to ship everything" combined with the gas saved not driving around looking for toys makes up for it and works out pretty even.

And I'm probably not the only collector that likes TRU but also sort of chose other places to shop at because at least in my area the TRU was pretty much the most expensive place to get toys. Especially when you could get the same toys down the street for less. Why spend more?
