It was never poor sales that took down Kaybee. It was Bain Capital's leveraged buyout that buried them under mountains of dept.

Seasonal pop up stores doesn't really help the toy industry the other months of the year that aren't part of the holiday season. The toy industry and our hobby will take a massive hit if there isn't a year round toy store.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

SO pop up stores starting Black Friday with maybe some becoming permanent locations if they do well and logistics work out. The one thing that worried me is that they are working on the assumption they can get the stock that has been produced with the intention of it going to TRU, but there may be other vendors/retailers looking to get a piece of that who may have previous deals with manufacturers or ins with distributors to get first crack at that material, and if so, these pop ups could have difficulty getting the kind of stock they need to be successful at prices that will allows them to sell at attractive prices and still be profitable. There's a lot of nuts and bolts factors that will take place behind the curtain that have to be in place before this can work.

Meh. I was never a big fan of KayBee Toys. Cluttered stores with mostly old stock or clearanced goods. Overpriced for anything new, their Star Trek 9" exclusives were double the price of regular releases. Haven't missed them at all, probably wouldn't shop there if they do come back.Comment

Starting with pop up stores is a little disappointing. But I do understand that's probably the only way they could get KB up and running by this fall. Hopefully many of them will do well enough to become permanent year round stores.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Some more news on Kaybee.
"Ellia Kassoff and his firm, Strategic Marks LLC, plans to open 1,000 or more pop-up stores by the holiday season under the KB name"
