[QUOTE="Leemcl, post: 478354, member: 6474"] My two girls and I had our last ever Toys r Us experience on Saturday. The girls got themselves something nice and I was delighted to see my 10 year old buy the Leia / Ewok forces of Destiny doll. No prompting from Dad either. She really wanted it (honestly) Me - well I have to confess to buying some “modern” nonsense. I paid £6 for a Fett / Solo figure double park. My intention to case it along with the Toys R Us receipt and keep it forever more. I recognise I have probably ticked every box in the sad dad / mid life crisis / inner child analysis box. But frankly don’t care much. More broadly. It’s utterly awful that corporate greed sent Toys R Us under. 10 years on from Woolworths another company goes pop for avoidable reasons. It makes me angry, very angry. Thousands of jobs lost for avoidable reasons. Buy a company. Rack up debt on debt. Send it under and walk away. I spoke to a woman on check out and she had tears in her eyes honestly not knowing when her job would be gone and what she was going to do. Awful. [/QUOTE]
