Looks like the owner of Sunrise is buying TRU, maybe they can fix the horrible website and modernize they POS system they use.

I highly doubt they will fix anything when this is the quote from the new owner:

"Since its split from the U.S., we've watched the way in which the company has grown and focused on the Canadian customer. Much has been achieved and we're excited to help to drive the business forward."

Nothing was achieved in the past 3 years. At least nothing noticeable.

The deal fairfax made with him (where they only sold day to day operations but keep the real esate) is the type where they still make money if TRU goes belly up.

What exactly do you expect them to say? They're going to put a good spin on the sale and the situation. "Yeah our website is ass and shit is sideways, yay?"

And whose to say that despite the clear issues with website, Tru is doing poorly? They don't live or die by transformers sales.
This just corporate talk. Pull your finger outta

Yeah, I'm sure ToyRUs makes most of it's money on Baby and Infant toys than teen-adult toys. We as collectors are the vocal minority.

Have you seen the Sunrise website? TRU site is actually an improvement in comparison.
