It means that for those of us that grew up in the 80's, however old you were, we should remember how Toys R Us used to be. It was the store to go to for Transfromers, MASK, GI JOE, TMNT, and Star Trek. Star Wars and Masters of the Universe, I mainly went to Dept Stores for them!!
I don't think my post was confusing or meant to say anything else!! What did you take from it??
WM has gotten so big they can dictate to manufacturers what to make...TRU could easily become an outlet for the manufacturers to take back the power to decide what will be made. Because I'm sure the companies like Hasbro pay more attention to what the consumer wants than WM does.
I quite agree E. I think every company that deals with Wal Mart, be it a toy company or a grocer, they are worried at the power Wal Mart yields!! I've read reports that had Mattel giving exclusives to KB or TRU in the hopes of promoting them and trying to even out the playing field!! If they don't, and TRU falls, then there will only be two major stores, Wal Mart and Target, and that's never a good thing!
