TRU was the last nationwide physical retailer dedicated to selling toys; if you don't get the ramifications of their closure and think Walmart, Target, and the like will take up the slack and the industry will not be affected in any meaningful way, I'm not going to argue with you. And I have no idea why you're bringing up websites, as that's not what we're talking about.

As far as me living as you call it "bumblefuck"

Never said you did.

Quote:

My county alone there are 5 TRU locations. Out of the 5 i've been to at least 3 in my county and 1 in miami dade county. They all had poor inventory whenever you would walk into them. The local one to me which i went to literally a month ago was so disappointing i said i would try and not bother wasting my money,gas or time venturing over to that store again because it's a major letdown.

As far as Neca goes, florida stores Neca sections were less than a quarter of an aisle and some didn't even actually even carry the brand....

Note to self: Florida has shit TRUs. Sorry dude, the ones in NY are great.

Quote:

As far as people losing jobs. Well that's sad but there are once again numerous other retail jobs people can go and apply to. That's called life, It happens to all of us.

Empathy is a nice thing to have.

If people are worrying about prices going up then maybe it might be time to quit collecting for some.

Eh, I can afford it.
