[Ash from Carolina]

I'm going to miss what Toys-R-Us used to be. Back when GI Joe was still alive as a brand it seemed like I could find what I was looking for at Toys-R-Us. The only down side to a toy run there was maybe buying too much because the selection was so good.

But in recent years unless I was buying something for a kid my Toys-R-Us runs were nothing but a bust. I've only managed to snag two of their Marvel Legends exclusives. Always sold out on-line and never in stock at any store in driving distance. Ouch and how they jerked my chain with hey the X-Men two pack is in stock give us your money, okay it will be ready in a hour, two hours later oops we don't have it here is your money back. Transformers was always just the shelf warmers other places had clearanced out long ago.

Unless it was something for a niece or nephew I was always leaving their stores and web site empty handed. Kind of hard to support the company if they never had what you wanted.

I feel bad for the people working there and I hope they all find another job really soon. But as a collector I'm not going to miss the place because it was just exclusive after exclusive that I had no chance of buying from Toys-R-Us. Sad when the Walgreens exclusives were easier to find than the Toys-R-Us exclusives.
