To be truthful, Toys R Us closing isnt a big deal to me.
Sure going there as a kid was exciting, as an adult there are better shopping places.

idk, still bums the hell out of me. There were some store exclusives (NECA's Lightning Gremlin, Funko's Mystery Minis -- including the Disney Afternoon or whatever line, which had an adorable Shere Khan), plus it was one of the few places you could actually see certain merchandise offline.

I almost picked up the Bad Dudes micro arcade last time I was there for $15 but wasn't sure that the thing worked since the packaging was a little messed up. Still, could have saved like $15 vs buying it off Amazon which is probably the route I'll have to go at this point if I still want it.

Toys R Us couldn't match those prices when they had more debt than the company was worth due to the leveraged buy out.

Yeah, this was one of the bigger issues as well. Although it obviously had other issues and was less competitive thanks to the changing marketplace.
