The end of an era. Why don't kids buy toys anymore? Do (((they))) want our kids staying glued to screens and not living out their childhoods outside as they should?

How very very sad.

blame Amazon

Department stores as a whole are dying. Shopping online is way cheaper and toys r us was late to that game.

>Why don't kids buy toys anymore?
black kids don't buy toys they steal toys

...

The Free Market at work

Blame Amazon.

>free market phases out obsolete stores
>GOMMUNISM SOON, IT'S A SIGN!!!

lol

Every Toys R Us in my area is right in the middle of nigger infested neighborhoods. White people around here are uncomfortable shopping there

Most people were already going to Walmart or Target or Amazon for popular toys anyway. I'm kind of surprised Toys-R-Us survived for as long as it did, considering all of the other specialty big box retailers that went under over the past decade or two.

well, when you can copy literally infinite times videogames and still charge full price, why invest in machinery, production factories, workers, etc to produce toys

also internet shopping is more convenient. you can order millions of products and let amazon deal with the clusterfuck

People buy things online now

This is true. Brick and mortar big box stores are strictly a place for blacks to steal nowadays.

Kids today are watching livestreams, playing vidya, Minecraft, or Speedrunning

no joke

they sell overpriced junk that isn't even fun half the time, who the fuck wants a "Big Hero 6" toy, i would be pissed if i was a kid and got some overweight faggot robot from that movie

Do kids even play with toys anymore? I thought they all just watched those creepy pedo disney vidoes on their parents tablets.

Toys-r-Us is (was?) ridiculously overpriced. I remember a pack of 15 Yuggy-oh cards costing like 7,5€, while I could get the same pack for 5€ on a local, small store.

Pretty sure more manchildren buy toys these days than actual kids.

> Mindless consumption of irrelevant objects by children is finally going out of style
> This is a bad thing

Why buy materials toys when all the videogames, porn and TV are right there on their little Ipads.

China will still be selling models and little plastic nubs on enjoyment through alibaba anyways.

Toys-R-Us-Worker here

Bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean closing all the stores immediately.

However, this is of course not good.

good
kids dont need plastic shit toys

only reason for a toy store is to take kids there
nobody takes their kids to shopping centers
because niggers

Retail is dying because Amazon is crushing the stores. Nothing to do with the jews, they run the fucking big-box stores too. They run everything, remember?

Fuck you stormfags are edgy little cunts.

This sucks, but makes sense considering all of the other options for toy shopping. I always loved going there when I was a kid. I love technology, but playing with toys as a kid instead of just wasting time on a tablet was awesome.

Video games have unfortunately made toys obsolete.

I just had the sad realization that I myself have no plans on buying my son toys, just do video games for his indoors recreation.

It's not even the end of an era. It's the end of a thousands of years old cultural phenomenon

This, last time I was a Toys r us with my kids. There was a full chimpout over a card rejection, that de was late wif huh check. It genuinely turned a pleasant day into stress. So I went back to my gated house and bought online.

So what you are saying is that Toys"R"us going bankrupt will have a huge negative impact on the black communities?

brace yourself for government subsidizing the failing corporation..

Mobile, AL store? That's a very common thing there.

This toys-R-us and many other niche shops are 100%shit

>bluetooth headphones die

>oh well ill just go to radioshack and get a new pair

> $40 for a set at radioshack $8/free shipping for the same set if i buy online

>fuck that ill just buy a cheap wired set while i wait on shipping

>shittiest headphones ive ever seen

> $15 per pair

> say fuck it, go wait at the counter

>wait for shithead cashier for at least 5 min

>leave

>stop at 7-11, see decent wired headphones for $7

>radioshack goes bankrupt a couple months later

>laugh


We need more of these leeches to die, they are shit.

Not even something like a Lego set?

White people shoplift all the time.

This sucks. One main reason why I liked picking an Angel from the Salvation Army Angel tree is because I could browse through Toys R Us and see what all things are out now and what kids play with. Sure, I'd pick up their main gift request, but I always browsed for extra filler gifts. I can't see myself doing that on Amazon. It certainly isn't as fun.

Because for many years kids have been able to see toys on TV and online, then buy them online

You no longer need to go to a huge out of the way store to browse and buy

Hell the only Physical store for that type thing that even works anymore is one where you just browse a catalogue or computer screen then collect item at counter

In Toys"R"us?

God bless you sir

Man, I loved going to toy stores when I was a kid. They kept dying left and right, and now they're all gone.

>It's one of several options the chain is considering to pay down $5 billion in debt it owes as a result of a leveraged buyout in 2005, according to The Wall Street Journal.

>The chain's trio of owners — the private-equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Bain Capital Partners and the real-estate investment trust Vornado Realty Trust — bought the company in a deal worth $6.6 billion, taking it private.

Let them fail. This is just a way of dodging what they owe.

But it's being replaced by mindless consumption of social media and video games. I wouldn't call that an improvement.

>White people shoplift all the time.

>reminder that toys r us
>brought over pajeets on h1b visas
>forced white employees to be shadowed by pajeets that took notes of their every move and even followed them to the bathroom
>Any white employee that refused was fired on the spot
>after a few months pajeets went back to india
>white people were fired
>toys r us moved the facility to india and hired the pajeets that they had ghost the white employees in america

Easy answer: not enough kids born into the dominant culture to support the market. Majority are accepting cheaper toys and hand-me-downs in illegal immigrate families and the rest buy off Amazon/Overstock/eBay/etc.

This is why you never feed the animals....

Toys R Us were always overpriced.

How many of the toys were female star wars superheros that nobody bought?

This. Same shit with Gamestop.

>OHHH NOOOOEEESSS ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE AREN'T BUYING OUR SHIT IN STORES ANYMORE
>Every shopping area turns into niggerville

fuck toys R fucked. I am glad they are going down.

middle class cant afford it anymore and or isn't having kids

Technology and smart phones are the electronic jew. Parents allow it freely to avoid not parenting.

You can skip most toys now a days luckily. My son has had hundred of toys and never plays with any of them.

In the end all he's ever liked was
a stuffed animal when he was a toddler, Baseball/basketball/football equipment, RC cars and helicopters, his skat
eboard and his Nintendo.

Lego cant compete with minecraft. Especially since the shittiest lego set costs as much as a copy of minecraft.

You niggers used to try and walk out of my store with both hands full of shit all the time, go fucking kill yourself.

The worst I ever saw out of white people was some old dude getting a kick off stealing a fucking candy bar now and then, I had to chase fucking coons down with $22 dollar bottles of tide in each hand constantly. Fuck you animals.

Everything that used be white people's created will die out in USA until there's nothing but taco and anal plug.

It is because their toys were all boring and full of cultural stereotype. There are no gun or army toys for girls, nor drills and construction - and no Hairdressing, or domestic toys for boys. Kids are sick of pink is for girls and blue is for boys - the merchandise does not appeal to the millennials, so no one shops there.

> JP Morgan Filing for Bankruptcy
> "They were just late to the crypto game."

Actually thought they had closed down years ago

Amazon is definitely a part of the problem here but Toys R Us cooked their own goose.
Just like a lot of other brick and mortar stores, they lost all sense of customer service. All sense of how to make shopping in their stores convenient and pleasant.
When it's easier for me to return a product to an online company than it is to return a product at a place like Walmart, Kmart or Toys R Us, then the store deserves to go out of business.
There are still stores that manage to compete with online retailers by simply having a much better shopping experience and I go to those stores over shopping online for various reasons. Companies like Toys R Us just suck at giving good customer service and for that I'll never step foot into their business again. It's that simple.

People always say this, but do you even know anything about retail?

Amazon's real edge isn't convenience or even that they have CIA funding. It's that it is so much fucking harder to steal from them and get away with it. That's what's up.

It is a shame. I used to love it when my mum would drive me up the A12 to the toys r us in Ipswich and i'd see it when we turned a specific corner. But internet shopping is a thing. The free market is a harsh mistress.

Lol, typical gommie!

Fuck you faggot demithing.

Same. As soon as a neighborhood gets dark everything goes to shit. No way I'd travel to where the nearest toys r us is.

I still got 2 of these in the attic from Toys R Us

Clearly you dont udnerstand how these people work. They will take massive losses to gain marketshare and destroy competitors. People scam Amazon constantly. If you call and complain most times they dont even make you send back the incorrect item they just send you another one.

Feelsbad.
Anytime I was over as a kid (alot) it was a highlight to go there & get some Bionicles & Yu Gi Oh cards I couldn't get here..

It's because all their customers get aborted

Yup. This is why everything is moving to online. You only have to worry about warehouse employees stealing and not customers. Not only do you not have to pay rent but you do not need a huge loss prevention department, security, cameras in stores etc. Plus you do not have to pay huge insurance premiums in case a customer gets hurt etc.

But it is. Think of the unemployment all that automation is bringing, when cars drive themselves those products to your house too without drivers. They already using robots in the warehouses.

this. Amazon is easy to scam, even unintentionally.

damn i felt like a kid in a candy store when circuit city was having all their liquidation sales. Imagine being a kid and getting to the store while its still full with wads of birthday and holiday money

also, sucks, they should have adapted and became 50% video games

Toys are shit. Kids want videogames and electronics now.

Jews crushing other Jews

kids these days are fucked. They cant write by age 6 because they have no dexterity. They spend their time on ipads and not playing with lego.

My boy would rather fish than play "vidya"
enjoy your autistic chitlins faggots

do children even play with toys any more

I knew this would happen eventually the year I heard Wal-Mart's toy sales surpassed Toys R Us. Sad, I loved that place.

And when everything is a Star Trek post scarcity utopia we will all stagnate because adversity is what drives the human spirit. Stop waiting for the automated revolution and get a fucking job, parasite.

>Speedrunning
Never understood the appeal of watching someone else play a game who has autistically played it dozens(hundreds) of times to beat it fast. Fucking retarded.

What did you start at hourly?

I was a poorfag growing up so I never really developed any nostalgia for any of the dedicated toy stores like tru or kb toys.
Vast majority of my stuff came from the goodwill or in happy meals.

I'll give you ten bucks for both

Is happening in front of your eyes, stop being in denial.

I understand perfectly. But they can't do this without investors willing to pay the bills.

If Toys 'R Us wanted investors they would have shifted to a lower shrink model years ago. They might also consider placing the 'R' forwards for a change.

>Lego cant compete with minecraft
Lego needs to actually make a Lego online game where you can build anything from every piece in lego history.

>remembering the years of Legos and Gundam in the late 90s and early 2000s
>attempt to feel sadness that my own children won't experience this
>realize I'll be dead in the next civil war anyway so I won't have children

Farewell to a friend I left behind long ago.

autists have sensory issues and it soothes them

These toys were too gender-specific

cant wait for them sales. just like when wal marts were closing all around. 50% off

...

just because the picture looks like a communist grocery store, doesn't mean communism is coming.

Top fucking kek.

F

nigger, kids can literally engineer and 3d print their own drones in their spare time these days, toys r us and shit like malls and brick and mortar stores are dinosaur entities
besides parents don't throw gobs of useless plastic at their kids that the kids didn't even want, or even raise them, instead today they abandon the kids at toys r us/best buy/wherever hoping someone else will take care of the rest for them

wow what kind of nigger does this

I'm waiting for Legos made of gold and silver instead of plastic. Because they apparently think every lego brick is some kind of precious commodity.

I can't imagine working in a Toys R Us. Being surrounded by toys and the constant barrage of nostalgia has to make you want to cringe.Same with chuck e cheese (I'm wondering how in the hell chuck e cheese is still alive).

what do you mean they don't buy toys anymore?
only their taste has changed.

I'd reconsider that plan user
I have a couple friends who do ballet lessons for young kids, they claim thatt the younger kids now are severely lacking in coordination and motor skills due to being raised from birth playing with iPads rather than engaging with physical toys/their environment

I'm sorry i don't want to see the stagnation of the human race, commie. You'll stop being the slave of corporations and become a machines play thing. Take your science fiction bullshit somewhere else.
