I got annoyed at TRU because they stopped carrying G.I.Joe in Canada. What sucked even more is that for Star Wars exclusives, they jack up the price so much that it's cheaper for me to get my friend in the US to buy the exclusives and ship them up for me. He will hold on to them and ship them after he gets enough to just fit in the $15.50 1st Class international rate. Ends up being cheaper than going and buying it myself up here in Canada.

Terrible news but Toys R Us sucks. They never stock their shelves EVER....I think they bought too many Disney Infinity things and now they pay the price. For real though, whether its distribution, poor management, poor inventory control, all of the above....they just flat out suck and when they get something they stock it the first time and that's it.

Maybe if they, I dunno, organized their stock a little better and mopped the floors here and there they'd get more business.

I be honest I an not all that surprised. I remember back in the early 2000's TRU having problems with bankruptcy. I remember them filing for chapter 11 status and closed a bunch of stores. I do agree that they need to do a better jab at stock and getting more freight in.

IMHO, TRU has always sucked at stocking Joes. I've had better grabs at Target, Ross, Wal-Mart, and other places.
I mean, if you're into Lego, then TRU is awesome. |

I remember as a kid , my mom took me to TRU as a surprise a couple times. The first , she took me in and literally started throwin anything Star Wars I wanted ( income tax refund I later learned). The second , it was a dark and stormy thunderstorm, and she made me wait in car. When she came back it was the tim burton 89 batmobile ( which was really hard to get when the movie launched). Great memories all the way to adulthood when GI JOE, TFS AND TMNT were the jewel of any TRU visit. Even during the NES , Genesis and SNES days, TRU was where I shopped . Very sad news. Hope they continue to make it

I got Beach-Head and Dr. Mindbender there the first time I saw them and played with them at a pizza place we went to after.
Their best exclusive was still M.A.S.K. Laser Command. I think I finally got when it went on clearance after ogling it for a while. I think it was like $50 and came down to $15. |

Can't figure out why the big Toys "R" Us at the King of Prussia mall refuses to carry most new NECA product for most of the year. All the little locations further out have gotten the new Predator figures and many other items. I asked this one to check the back and they brought out some Aliens figures that I didn't want, then they put them back where they still sit, unable to be sold. This should be a much easier store to manage than Walmart but they can't do their job any better.
