Wow


While that's a little crazy, think of the other retail icons that have died or are dying largely because they have failed to adapt to a digital age that values price and speed above everything else. If you can't compete on price and speed, you had better be delivering excellent service that justifies the additional cost. I don't think they were ever able to successfully pick one or the other

Knew this was coming.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of Toys 'R Us. I used to literally knock people down when rushing through the front door to see if the newest GI Joe figure was in stock.

Which JH punched me in my 8 year old balls for.

I loved GI Joe in the 80s!!! Had a great collection that Mom eventually threw away :/

That and Lego. I can never forgive her.

Yup. Mom sold all my GI Joes at a garage sale...not to mention all of my Garbage Pail kids.

Wasn't that just last week.  Oh, wait, your now in search of Barbie.

I will admit I don't know all the details but I took it as a bad sign when they handed out executive bonuses as they entered bankruptcy. I mean really WTF????

I think I used to be able to find AH games in Toys R Us.  Not sure about the wargames, but probably other games like Outdoor Survival.

Kay Bee Toys stocked a few AH games back in the late 80s/early 90s.
