I enjoy visiting Toys R Us, even though it is one of the worst places to find WWE stuff.

No. Smyths toy store in the uk is the far superior toy shop. Toys r us is very unreliable and doesn't get many reductions.

Hell yeah I would! I was butt hurt when KB toys went down. If your TRU sucks, instead of wishing on its demise, why don't you move near a better one? Or stop collecting wrestlers and start collecting Barbies... All TRUs carry those. ;-)

I have lot's of TRU Issues and no other toy store to go to so ........Considering with TRU you can pre order the new comic ninja turtles for 14.99..... But buy em in store right now for 8.99..(and get all 4 in stores but only 2 of the 4 online????WTF).... I say Fire all online sales department , You probably only need a handful of ppl to make sure prices are the same and the stock is current .Then train people to get toys that do not sell AKA Del Rio and The Great White put them in a clearance bin and restock all the new stuff that will sell ....Ahem BAF Paul Bearer. Then I might care more

I remember back in the 90's, TRU had an ENTIRE.....ENTIRE Left Wall dedicated to action figures....now they have a tiny few sections. I would be there looking for my Marvel figures....constantly...and 5 bucks to boot.
THose were the days...I am convinced kids bord 1995 or later just do not understand what it was like having KB's and TRY and a few other smaller chains which were region specific.
And those great commercials and Sunday newspaper catalogs...were the best.
People who claim to want TRY out of biz clearly lack brain power...it's the last on left. If that goes that is it for toy stores.

I'm on the fence; I don't really care for TRU here in Sydney when I see it; they've never got anything good.

The last time I was at TRU they had nothing good, but it's not like they never get anything in stock.
And it's a lot less scummy than Wal-Mart and god help me K-Mart.

TRU in my town closed like 10 years ago... So, at this point, it wouldn't change much for me... But it would be a sad day to see a big part of my childhood be gone forever.

Yeah. I still get good finds from time to time and I collect other non-wwe stuff too like Transformers and they have been pretty good for me. For actual stock on toys, Target, Kmart and Walmart kind of suck. Even when they don't have new stuff (which often Target does better) TRU actually has stuff for me to look at and flip through. Having stuff to browse is great for kids and casual collectors.

I remember when I was a kid and would go to TRU. The place was always packed, a very very busy place to be. Now that I'm 24 I stop by TRU, and everytime I go, there is literally only 5-8 cars in the parking lot. Ever. Alot of the time I feel like I'm the only one in the building besides employees of course. It is just fascinating and a little sad how online shopping is killing toy stores. KB going was bad enough, I don't want to see a world without TRU.

The pulling of Breaking Bad figures from their stores will not help matters.

I don't wanna see any business close. Period. But there are plenty of people whom don't deserve to have a job in the first place. They're miserable, ungrateful, rude, and act like you're bothering them.
