I will be very sad if they day ever comes when the last of the "toy store" closes. I think there should always be at least 1 company that is a solid "toy store" and not just a couple of toy aisles.
I remember back in the 80's when Elder Beerman had a toy department. Then the "toy department" was turned into the shoe department stock room. I was so crushed as a kid. EB had good selection of MOTU, SW, Super Powers, Knight Rider etc.
Oh yeah i agree with you man, TRU is still pretty good on somethings, and not so good on others, and yes sometimes, they get other things before Target and Wallys do and u may pay a couple of dollars higher, but at least you get it and dont have to wait for it or order it online. KB was really good and if it wasnt for KB alot of the toys of my childhood wouldnt be around, KB keep alive alot of the toys line that most dept store wouldnt carry through the 80's and 90's like starwars, MOTU, Transformers and so on. I too was sadden that KB's went out of business and couldnt keep up with the big leagues and EB oh hell yeah, i remember their toy dept very well, i remember my mom getting me Transformer Sixshot and Galvatron from the bargin bin and i still have them today and in mint condition.
