TRU Canada is staying in operation it seems.

That's not surprising really. We have a worthless version of Amazon, no Targets, and shipping from the US costs too much.

Just a much smaller inventory.

After ToysRus is gone, I'm sure scalpers will just hit the Walmarts and Targets harder but does this mean Amazon will get more inventory that would have been sent to the Rus?

When Borders closed they sold all the prime stock to other retailers and then blew out the crap remaining. With TRU good money says they move any valuable inventory out of the stores and just dump garbage in the stores.

Yup, just like the already closing stores. We went into one in San Diego and all they had was crap, clearly all the good stuff was sent to other stores.

Man if this is like every other liquidation sale I've been to, the first thing the liquidation company does is jacks everything up to MSRP, though in TRU's case, that would be dropping prices. Then they get rid of anything anyone would want and progressively make bigger and bigger cuts, so you can get lovely toys for $2 or whatever.

I’m pretty sure I bought my Borders’ entire stock of Star Wars Miniatures when they closed because that stuff never went on sale.

Pulled nothing but garbage too :discourse:

Like I said, the good stuff went elsewhere.


Just went to TRU, they had 12 A-Force box sets. If those somehow make it to liquidation I would buy one. They also had a dozen of the 3 packs with Kate Bishop and I would still like that figure.

Yeah I thought the same thing about the A Force set but I’m not holding my breath.
I’d also like the black and gold Titanus

I just went to Toys R Us today and asked when the sales would be starting because almost nothing was marked down, they said they didn't get word as to when they're actually closing but once they do that's when the sale will start. So it seems to be on a store by store basis.

I also picked up this when I was there:



I thought it would only be right that one of my last toys purchases at TRU would be of Geoffrey. Rest easy friend, you have a home with me.

If I didn't work at TRU I'd probably do that. I'm sad it's gone but tbh I get the willies when I go in there now.

It was more on me than the company but whatever. I can't get jobs at places I like.

Yeah that why we don't just start doing the closing sales just yet, as my store could be saved, but I am going to get a new job regardless as I am not holding my breath.

They were throwing away all the credit card signs and paperwork today. Thankfully my credit card is now paid off so I no longer need to worry about that.

There wouldn't be anything to worry about, anyway. The issuing bank would continue to exist, it just wouldn't offer any benefits a TRU credit card might offer. They might even transfer your account to a generic credit card.

That kinda why I got paid it off so I don't have to use it anymore. It kinda useless to use since I am not gaining reward points anymore.

Bummer, I've never had anything cancelled, but the 10 business day notice expires Monday or Tues depending on if I count the day I got the notice. Pre-ordered the first day was available so hoping that it comes through.
