KB is closing is stores

Won't be long and all stores will go the way of the dinosaurs. Only thing left will be on-line stores.

AMEN, spend your money locally as much as possible and with as many independants as you can. I shop downtown every Christmas.

Spending your money locally means your money has a better chance of staying in your community, not sucked up to Bentonville.

Yeah of course you have downtown businesses there. You're in Canada.
Just wait till the 90's get to Canada and see what happens.

If only we had a downtown left, I would. Wal-Mart killed it 20 years ago.

OUR downtown was killed by urban renewal 20 years before Wal-Mart ever made it here. So they've actually been a reason to shop in the city instead of venturing out 15 miles or so to the town with the malls and big box stores.

I liked the KB Toy Stores up here in the Late 90's.
Everytime I walked into one,.. everything was always like Half off & I always found so many items I wanted. I think I bought a few Famous Covers for 3.99 there,.. I know Star Wars were 1.99 ,.. & Picked up some different BTAS For 2.99 a Piece.

The last time I went to a KB ,.. Last yr,.. thats Where I scored my Baris Hotwheels Batmobile. It was the 1st & Only time I ever scene the car up here.

I just got back from our local one. Looked like they had some nice discounts - but 2 get 1 free on all WWE stuff, for example. I picked up some GI Joe stuff (the RAM/Trouble Bubble 2 pack and Specialist Trakker) for 30% off.

The thing to remember is that everything in the store's at least 10% off, marked or not. Looked like they had a lot of new stuff, too. I definitely know they had some of the newest WWE waves and the new GI Joe one as well.
