Topic	Nooooooooooooooo Toys R Us may file for bankruptcy soon
Zeus 09/19/17 1:05:36 AM #35:	Golden Road posted... I hope it stays around. Physical toy stores have some important advantages over Amazon. One, it's easier to browse when you're trying to find a gift, but aren't sure what they might like. Two, it's good for kids to see what toys they like. Young kids aren't going to be able to easily search for toys online. Well, you still have Target and Wal-Mart. In general, I like retail because they have better return policies.

Young kids aren't going to be able to easily search for toys online. When I was a kid, a visit to Toys R Us was absolutely magical. Fuck a Walmart or Target, even KayBee Toys wasn't this good. The entrance to the store was unlike anything else, and when you got in, toys on every aisle. All the new video games, with those flip-up laminated preview things and the paper slips, and playable kiosks. Power Rangers, Legos as far as the eye can see, trading card booster packs, fully assembled jungle gyms and playhouses right there in the store, I got all of my WWF Titan Tron Live action figures there... Man, I'll be pissed if it ends up dying. After KB died, TRU gradually became the new KB. And now it might share KB's fate. I liked KB, though. Bought a lot of stuff there over the years. Including this really cool Big Duo figure which used to sit on my desk until I knocked the damn thing over and broke some of its propeller fingers. Still a bit sad over that. I also should have considered trying to get one of those super-high-priced ones a few years back. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:886866954] in Nooooooooo...
