Mainstream news is picking up on this story, but I will only believe it when I step into a store and see some beautiful toys.

Sweet. Hopefully one will open near me and hopefully that’s where TRUs exclusives go.

KB always had a massive WWE collection as a Canadian kid with like $20 to spend for the day...

KB Toys should've never closed. I always preferred KB Toys over Toys R Us! They had the absolute BEST deals and prices in the 90's and even up to their last year. Best toy store ever in my opinion.

If they do it like the TRU express stores that pop up and puns the holidays, this could work and be great.

I don't remember KB Toys being that great of a store. I remember going to a few, but I don't recall making too many purchase there, I always preferred TRU.

KB Toys was great, but Toys R Us is the best. TRU filled the void of KB Toys closing with their Express mall stores, but nobody can fill the void of big box/anchor-sized stores TRU will leave behind.

Well this is welcome news after TRU died. Who knows maybe in like 10 years TRU will rise from the ashes as well.
Would be cool to have both KB Toys and TRU with us again.

I always preferred KB. Mainly because my mom worked there - and later, I - and I got many things on discount from both her and my own employment.
Best deal I ever got on figures was from KB too. A full case of CS1 for $72. At the time when CS cost $14.99 there, that would have been $180. With the sale they had, stacked with my 25% discount, that made them $6 and no tax in Delaware.

Hopefully it ends up being more that just a short term thing where they have pop-uo stores during the holidays....but I just don't think it's going to be a long term or permanent thing.

If i start seeing KB Toys at the malls, itll give me a reason to go to the mall more than a couple of times a year lol. Used to love KB Toys as a kid.

I lived in their 3/$10 bin as a kid. Hell, as an adult I sometimes did. A year after Gundam died in the US I went into a KB and they had the final wave I had never seen and they had gone straight to the 2/$5 section. I bought dupes. The FA-78 Full Armor Gundam paid off when I got $60 for my carded one about 8 or 9 years ago.

There was a fellow figure collector working at mine in Allentown, PA,and the sob always hoarded the good figs for himself. It was around the time of RA 1.

Any word on when the stores are going to start popping up? I’d imagine by September when retail starts hiring seasonal.
I member when me and my bro skipped school and walked down the st. waiting in line to buy Xbox heh.
