Stopped by and they have a circle around the store to walk around. Carts filled with random junk, and they had literally 200+ Star Wars Black Series 6” June Erso figs. More scattered around. Like Range said I wish I wouldn’t have but I have been going to that store since I was wee and had to go one last time. No Joes, LEGOs or Playmobil so no fodder.

Did anybody else notice a mass exit of True Heros stuff? I find it hard to believe a couple of people cleaned all 3 of our store out.

Others have commented on this and seem to think discount retailers/liquidators may have snatched it all up. Keep a check on Ollie's, maybe?

I went in two days apart and in that time they had cleared out the animal planet sets, the c130s, the subs and a lot more. They clearly sold them to a mass liquidator.
That was the last time I went in. I may stop in one last.time before Friday to say goodbye. |

On Monday, I stopped into the one I used to work at 25 years ago. I always considered this one my "home" TRU, even though they opened up in 1991 and I was already in my teens years and out of playing with toys. I don't live near it anymore but it's a short sidetrack out of my daily commute, so I figured I'd go to pay my last respects. I wasn't even expecting to find anything cool, but was going to maybe pick up some things for Toys For Tots for the holidays. Like you other guys have said, it was depressing- what tiny bit they had left was in the front third of the store, they already started taking down the shelves, and even knocked down a wall which I remember use to be part of the break room. I had a few things in hand to buy, but then saw the "credit cards only" sign. I don't really do credit cards anymore, got rid of and paid them off years ago (save for one I keep for extreme emergencies). They wouldn't even take debit cards. I just said "uh...no sale then, I guess" and wandered out shaking my head. It's been fun, Toys R Us.

Credit cards only?! Are they afraid of their employees stealing cash from their drawers?
