Not sure of the details...

Toys R Us has new owners that are thinking of opening stores for this holiday season.

So long as they do not go overboard and pay there bills it should still make. Also they do not need those big store to start with, if they open up in the more modest stores to start with it will help.

Can't fully express how much I miss the days of walking into TRU to a huge display of vintage MOTU.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I hate to be pessimistic, but I will believe it when I see it. This sounds more promising than the last time they announced reopening, but time will tell.

They say third time's the charm,let's see if they are right.

[TrekStar]

Hopefully they will and hopefully they’ll carry the mego figures.

[ScottA]

I'm with Chris. I won't believe it until I step into one.

It looks like they are going to go smaller. Maybe some pop-ups or store within-a-store concept (like a TRU section in Target). I really don't know if the name alone will drive people to buy from them.

A couple years ago, there was news about Kay Bee toys going to have pop up stores before Christmas. Never saw anything further.

This new company is all marketing. Selling and using the brand name. Doesn’t appeal to me.
