Opps.  Sorry about that.
store closing

[Ben]

Dammit, mine's closing. Looks like there won't be any left in Iowa after this all goes down.

[JediMAC]

Crap.  Losing one of mine too - on Victory in Reseda.  I've still got 3 others nearby, but I've had some pretty decent luck at that one with the odd exclusives, sales, and such...  

Oh well.  As long as nothing happens to my 10 beloved Targets, I'll be fine!  

[Playgirl]

what a surprise im losing mine   as if i wasnt having a hard enough time finding figures already, a store closes down leaving me with less options. sunvalley kb was bad anyway...

[Reconsgt]

Both of mine and the only place I happened to find the new figs are going down. That sucks.

[Brian]

It looks like the one closest to us (which is actually in Iowa) is closing as well.  I guess it is just as well, since I haven't seen anything new there (Star Wars or otherwise) for a loooong time.  It was always just nice having a toy store in the mall to stop in at, but I haven't been stopping as frequently anymore anyways.  It looks like Nebraska might be keeping some, but they are too far away from us to visit anyways .  Most of my new figure finds have been at Target (and TRU) this year anyways.

KB Toys Harvard Street 300 Harvard Street Brookline MA 02146
KB Toys Hampshire Mall South Maple Street, #A-8 Hadley MA 01035
KB Toys Independence Mall Smiths La & Route 3, #A108 Kingston MA 02364
KB Toy Works Saugus Plaza Broadway & Walnut Streets Saugus MA 01906
KB Toy Works Five Town Plaza 376 Cooley Street Springfield MA 01128
KB Toys Swansea Mall Route 118 Swansea MA 02777
KB Toys Arsenal Marketplace 485 Arsenal Street Watertown MA 02472
KB Toy Outlet Worcester Common Outlets 100 Front Street, #E104 Worcester MA 01608
KB Toys Greendale Mall 7 Neponset Street, #232 Worcester MA 01606

Out of the nine stores closing in Mass, I don't think I ever been to any of them, at least not recently. I might have stepped into the one in Saugus as its the closest one to me closing some time ago, but that's it. Frankly, I don't buy from KB too often as their stock usually sucks. I might pick up a 12" Gamorrean if I see him for ultra cheap as I'm thinking about starting a Gamorrean Guard collection and the couple of Playskool sets I'm missing.

[Becky]

All three of the ones that are closest to me are closing.  

[SilverZ]

Well, hopefully they'll not be getting an exclusive this year, or ever now. What a pain. They're not, are they?

[JediMAC]

The only thing I recall them being rumored to get for an exclusive was a 12" Clone Wars ARC Trooper.  That's obviously not going to happen now though.  I remember when K-Mart supposedly had a couple exclusives lined up, but shortly thereafter they went belly up and had to close half their stores.  Their exclusives (Jedi Starfighter w/ Hyperspace O-Ring) never saw the light of day...

The less exclusives the better.  The less stores to carry exclusives, the better (kinda)...  Just keep giving them to Target, and I'll be a happy man!
