I announced my decision to quit collecting minicars in my last post. It's weird to see Toys R Us calling it quits around the same time, though their decision was a forced one. This Toys R Us is on the way home from work for me, so last few years collecting, I swung by there numerous times. I feel bad for the employees there.
I'm kinda kicking myself for not taking the pictures of it, but there was big "help wanted" sign as you entered the store? Most employees probably already left & they need people short term to close the place out maybe. :(
As I approach the hot wheels aisle, I see "up to" 30% off. Hot Wheels, along with other diecasts were 10% off. If I was still collecting, I might have picked up something, but 10% usually don't get me to bite on anything, unless it was something I planned on buying anyways.
Hot Wheels were little bit bare. Plenty of Majorette & some Matchbox(even those real riders stuff). GreenLight were almost all gone. I also checked video games, but consoles were all gone. I was interested in Nintendo Switch for my nephews, but I think video games were only 5% off.
I hear KB Toys might make a comeback? When we first moved to the U.S. in 1987, KB Toys were the sh*t. While I'm sorry to see Toys R Us go(at least inside the U.S.), I'd love to see a return of the KB Toys. :)
