After tax, yeah. Good times. No pretending they were overpriced "adult collectibles" that need to ship in overpackaged boxes, either. Sure, you'd end up with lots of copies of the same comics to get rid, but I genuinely miss those collector cards.

Re: ToysRUs.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion
Legacy voyager is EUR 30, roughly 43 CAD.
So how much ToyRus is selling it for?

Kingdom Voyagers are now $49.99, so probably that, or more possibly.

It's not unique to TRU. I've noticed lots of stores are running with reduced hours. Around here Indigo closes at like 7 during the week.
If they're not seeing customer traffic, it doesn't make sense to stay open during those hours.

I would imagine those 5-10 hours less a week of being open adds up to quite the savings in staff hours over the course of the year, and all locations across the country. And of course one of the biggest expenses for most businesses is labour.
As Hoffman said there is probably still a significant reduction is traffic at retail so it is probably low hanging fruit for savings.

Yes, that's exactly what I was referencing in terms of cutting costs.
