The Return of KB Toys - Who is Ellia Kassoff, the Man Who Says He'll Save the Toy Industry

[prfctcellrulz]

I’ll gladly accept this.

My...my childhood toy store. IT RETURNS!!! <insert maniacal laughter>

[Yellow Ranger]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Honestly I kinda expected this to happen to Toys R Us. I mean there is a market for a national toy retailer. I still think someone could buy a good deal of Toys R Us assets and start-up again rather quickly. I mean people have been talking more about Toy R Us this past week then probably in it's entire history. Just look what happened to Hostess.

That said I hope both KB and Toys R Us comes back, just so there is competition. The branding is rather superfluous to me, but I do concede for a major toy retailer to succeed they need to trade on nostalgia. Honestly I would rather see a surge in smaller toy stores, but the logistics of the toy industry aren't in favor of that.

Anyone else notice how it’s called “strategic marks?” A grifting term?

[Sentai King]

This just sounds very unusual to me. Almost like to hype up the people. When there more info on it I believe it.

[Sunred]

Huh, odd timing.

I used to go to KBToys as a kid and probably have not bought anything there since 2002.

I vaguely remember this place from when I was a kid but can't really remember anything distinct about it. I remember I was disappointed when they closed though so I guess they must have been alright!
