A lot of the neat niche collector stuff that we've been getting in recent years is going to go away forever if TRU closes, and that's a fact; companies like NECA will almost certainly have to scale operations back, take less chances, limit production runs, etc. I am so fucking bummed.

Plus, as stated, this isn't really TRU's fault. They were saddled with an insane amount of high-interest debt by the asshole private equity firms that bought them out in the mid-2000's. Even with a dip in business they'd probably still be fine today without all of that hanging over their heads.

Came in here to slag 'em off, and then you had to go and be informative. Good job ruining my fun man.
