I was mainly kidding, but it has been frustrating. Maybe it's my location, but it's been very sparse - get in one or two figs, then nothing for weeks. Plus, the website does not match at all with what is actually available physically, which really bugs me. Ideally the supply/distribution improves and the experience will be better everywhere, but to give you an idea, I'm still looking for Firefly/Viper/Bludd, whereas most here have had them for a long time. Ultimately, the more locations the better, so I hope it really takes off again in the US.

The annoying thing is the hot items like G.I.Joe Classified does not show up on the site here. The stores around me post on Instagram when they get new things and they are 1 or 2 per person and it's behind the counter. However, the store I got Firefly and Viper from were 1 per person, and that's probably why the Viper was still there. I got the last Viper and they had like 2 more Fireflys that time.

Remember when Dr Frankenstein tried to reanimate his dead wife? I'm getting that vibe with TRU. If it's not going to make a proper return then just let it lay in peace. This is a horrible attempt to revive it.

I wonder what Macie's is getting from the deal. They could open a toy area in their stores and call it "The Toybox" or something.

TRU has done this every year around christmas since closing down in the US.
This year just happens to be Macy's turn for TRU. |

Oh really? What store were they in last year? I'm routinely in a ton of different stores, and I don't recall any of them having a toysrus section.

I believe he is talking about the little pop up stores they had. Last year they had their own I think just in New Jersey where the corporate hq was (is?) and it did not last long.

Ah, ok. Well that's not really the same thing at all, lol. Thanks for the info though, Shadow.

Isn't this because of the shipping situation with China? Could also be a problem with labor, but I don't know if Canada is having a problem with that like the US is. I live in the US and every store I've been too has been sparse with toys for a while now. At least the entire summer if not before then. My Walmart and Target toy aisles are empty with only a few of the least popular toys sitting on shelves. |
