Re: Goodbye TRU?
If TRU leaves it will leave a vacuum and a new toy store will eventually pop up. Walmart is not enough here in Canada.

I have a few gift cards, should I go on a shopping spree?

Maybe then Amazon Toys R Us can continue to give us a shitty selection of toys for us Canadians.
Seriously? Who even bothers with Amazon for toys anymore?!

Outside of big ticket items and exclusive I dont think anyone does. They arent a reliable source for getting toys like with Walmart and TRU. For instance, this is what you get when writing "robots in disguise", you only need to look a few listings down to get a one step at $18 offered by third party.
https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ts+in+disguise
And the listing below that one is a Legion at 12 dolalrs ship and sold by them, forget it!
I dont even bother with them.

True but if you make a few more button clicks to filter the category to just be toys and the seller to be just amazon.ca only its a little easier to read through.

Re: Goodbye TRU?
So from the article yesterday:
Quote:
... the Canadian unit has been sending surplus cash from its operations to support its U.S. parent’s cash flow needs, making $101 million in unsecured inter-company loans to the troubled U.S. division since 2016.
|
Just like I figured when the news was first announced... the Canadian operations have been doing well for years. And like Blockbuster video years ago, once again the US company is dragging down the Canadian business.
