      I know the "Beverage station" will likely be a coffee bar but somehow, I'd be all in.

        Is it entered through a semi-hidden hallway with a curtain?

          Heh, we had the "saloon doors" in most video stores around here, they were always super squeaky, like "Hey! EVERYBODY!" squeaky.

            Umm, yeah, adult zone does conjure images of the more seedy areas of video stores. Maybe nostalgia or retro zone would be better names? Because a section of retro toys would be pretty sweet.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              Yeah I can't imagine that will be the name they go with because as you've all proven, it heartily suggests naked people.

                That's what I thought it was from the title of the thread. LOL

                Glad the TRU Canada isn't moving in that direction.

                    Well, at least it sounds better than opium den or something, but yeah, adult always meant something else.

                    There will eventually be so much high end collectibles that they will need to make several chain stores, with museum-like toy displays, that verify age before people can enter.

                    Anyway, a nice shop would be nice, with a peaceful, relaxing setting, complete with drinks.

                      beaded curtain so the shop owner can hear the underage kids sneaking in.

                        A place for all the 'adult' action figures and NC-17 video games to be displayed? Not a bad idea!
                        No exclusives and no chase figures, please - I'm Canadian!

                          Well, they kind of have that now. In my local TRU, all the NECA horror stuff is in the video game section. I guess that must be profitable, so they're expanding on it.

                          It always made sense to me.

                            I am reminded of the commercial of the women shopping for clothes and the men have a man cave inside the clothing rack.
