The selection at the Walmart here is poor and the few lines they do carry go chronically un-restocked. The SW section consists of two pegs of budget Lightsabers. So much for the claim that Walmart and Target would pick up the slack. The only thing they are interested in competing in is groceries.

I REALLY miss Toys R Us.
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...Tags: None -
Target has picked up the slack with new sections in the stores and carrying oddball/collector driven stuff like Mego and NecaYou must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie Banks -

What’s the status of the chain’s comeback in the United States?

I miss it too. To even see Target's full selection - which isn't what I hoped - it takes trips to four different stores for me. There's no consistency in the floorplan or the stocking - in Columbus anyway. Walmart is the same deal, although the bigger one I begrudgingly frequent destroys all of the Targets. There's no NECA at Walmart, but Target doesn't get the NECA I want either. I have Meijer and Kroger, but they just hit the high points and selection is low. The customizer in me misses the variety. It's just one more reason to be jealous of Canada - they get Celine AND TRU? Life ain't fair.Comment

Same here. I've long heard rumors Target splits their toy cases between stores and it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

I miss them too. Our Walmarts literally suck. They don't carry anthing. No NECA, very few Pops, no DC, minimal Marvel. I don't even waste time looking anymore.
Target is hit or miss on most anything.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

So, is the plan still to bring TRU back to brick and mortar retail in the United States?

The TRU in my area was the only store that regularly stocked. Nothing came close to the selection and variety of toys it had. It had entire isles of just of SW and Marvel toys. The Walmart here has two pegs of lightsabers, a couple pegs of Wrestling, Turtles, budget 12 inch Super heroes and empty pegs of Transformers that go continually un-stocked.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

We still have TRU here but it was never quite as cool as the US ones, we just don't get the variety here, even shopping for plumbing parts can be frustrating in Canada.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions
