    To all of the naysayers out there saying that this is the end of retail toys, I said it before and I'll say it again+ Ond door closes and another door opens.


    Wow! is all we can say after our first announcement here on Linked In that we're bringing back @kbtoysstore very soon. We're received so many calls, emails, and private messages of support as we try to #savethetoyindustry.

              I went by my TRU today and it's started. While the signs say up to 30% off nothing was above 10 at the moment. I've heard it will go up every week. I took a lot pf pics inside as well.

                Another thing hit me when I watched a toy ad on Nick today while skimming the channels. The ad ended with "Available at Target and Toys R Us." And I thought aloud "Not for very long."

                  I miss when Toy r us looked like that. The ones I grew up going to have all been romodeled and look nothing like this. There bright ugly white and look like a Walmart. I haven't seen one like that in years...

                    The TRUs around here are very modern looking and un-fun. We came across a classic one like Scott's recently on vacation last year in Wilmington, NC. Even the interior layout was old school!!!

                      Took my two youngest today for one last trip through a real toy store. One of them got a little choked up. I call this pic "Bummin' with the Batbot."

                        Ours has never been remolded so it looks like the day it opened. But I have to admit it does show it's age.

                        I went again tonight and walked out with a TRU shopping basket. The lady working there was very sweet about it.

                          the one by my place has started marking things down 10 percent. lots of stuff is selling and the aisles look like a tornado went thru them.

                            Safeway is going under around me, and I went in to one on Friday and it was depressing. I dont think I want to try and do that with ToysRuS.

                              Safeway? Where do you live?

                              Safeway is huge here in California...they are all packed with customers all the time, day and night...
