What collector old enough to remember the height of GI Joe, Transformers and Masters Of The Universe (no disrespect to you younger folks) doesn't LOVE to go into a brick and mortar and hunt? I remember when TRU had 12 columns and 12 rows of pegs dedicated to GI Joe. Ahhhhhhhh good memories.
Hastings suffered from the same problem TRU does but worse. Wal-Mart might be $20 on an item, TRU would be $23-$25, and Hastings would be $27-$30. They are doing it to themselves. Hastings I guess drew people in for rentals and trade-in programs but I couldn’t imagine why anyone ever purchased from them. They had lots of cool stuff to look at but way cheaper everywhere else. I would check out stuff there but hardly even bought anything until they went out of business. Even then it took until it was 40% off plus to be worth it.
