My bigger worry is that we are going to see a decline in toys in general because children prefer electronics. 100% my niece is 8 and wants iPhones and google chrome from Christmas. I’m 34 and I want Action figures. Go figure My daughter is in the same boat. She doesn't care about toys, its make up and Iphones. At 8!!!! I want to point the finger at media being super weak. Thinking about Millineal nostalgia in the 2020's would consist of Hannah Montana toys and what? Dora figures? I hobestky can't think of a cult classic show or movie from the 2000's other than Soprano's and Clone Wars.

My bigger worry is that we are going to see a decline in toys in general because children prefer electronics. Already been happening for years now. You have a generation where technology supplies their imagination. Anything without is considered passe. Similar to how video games replaced board games.

Very sad news. Nothing but great memories of seeing the floor to ceiling Hasbro display in my local one. Still well stocked now with all the latest series’ and plenty of the NS exclusives etc. I will ALWAYS buy in store where I can, I can’t stand the whiney bitch noises moaning about imperfections or packaging damage, always from those who buy online. I love shopping in store picking the best of the bunch. Give me a store over the internet any day My sentiments exactly. I like to have a story as to how and where I got the figure, instead of "I ordered it from Amazon/Ebay/Ringside and it came in the mail 7 days later". I feel bad for the employees if TRUs are shutting down. They have kids, they need this job.
