Shit... i had to have a friend from Ohio tell me they had the klaw/shuri legends 2 pack. Do you want it? And of course i said yes.

Like i said, online stores are fine for purchasing the latest stuff. Stuff that's not the latest? They suck because they rarely restock.

My experience as an adult collector with TRU has been very poor. As a child as i said in previous posts was great. Obvisously TRU could not replicate that same experience people had as children. This of course was due to the fact they had shity inventory, high prices, and employees working there that makes you want to strangle them.

Probably cause when you were a kid you werent just purchasing the latest items, right? You just got what was there.

BTW, prices are fine for me. They are the only place that sells NECA stuff for around 20 bucks with free shipping online. Everyone else sells NECA stuff at 25 at least with shipping costs that can be killer.

Probably has to do with the fact that i dont have a walmart near and they usually reduce stuff, right?

They do have sales but i guess they arent as many as Walmart.

The magic is gone people.. all you posting on here that are in your 20s to 40s trying to justify a why they shouldnt shut down and the toy world is screwed open your eyes. Popular toys will continue to be sold at certain stores

i never said anything about why they shouldn't shut down. They messed up and this what is happening. I mean, i would like them to stay on, sure, but that's going to happen, is it?

I am discussing the impact, because some people are trying to claim that the store closing means nothing.

If it means nothing to you, that's great, but not everyone is your same position.

And some oddball lines will HAVE TO be purchased online. That's just the way it will be.

And that sucks. I mean, as a collector isnt ordering online the worst because you cant see the paint job and it a die toss when it comes to the package quality?
