They might actually be happier that way.

probably because people got scared and quit. My TRU about 30 miles away said may will be the last month of operation for them unless something changes...

Man I really want/need that TRU 2 pack of Vision and Scarlet Witch, people are asking crazy prices for it on ebay right now...

Good YouTube Video -- On Toys R Us





One of the better videos highlighting the problems and nice historical reference too ...

Like any good superhero, it seems Toys R Us may return from the dead after being gone a couple years..

I just heard of this from my brother who has eight grandkids and he was happy to see Toys R Us is coming back because of their great locations and all that. I do shop there about once a year for Christmas to get stocking stuffers for my Grand Nephews and Nieces. This is great news and hope this time around they will come back with full swing of things and serve the general public and all that.

This is good news; this will make a lot of my friends very happy knowing that they are coming back.
I'm a close friend of Doctor Fate / Fate of the World and will be assisting him in both Lynda Carter and Super Babes Threads.
