That doesn't surprise me, I haven't heard anyone on the deal sites taking about any great deals there.

...the brick or mortar stores are now having their "going out of business" sales.
My friend went to TRU yesterday to buy Easter toys for her kids and said she couldn't believe how high their prices were even during a GOOB sale.

As a Toys R Us kid myself I'm sad to see an end to an Era.  But like Stinkerbell said above, we have much larger world issues we need to address.  Where's all the $100 mil donations to help the sick and needy?

It doesn't look like it's going to happen anyways. They were only able to raise an additional $54,000 in the past 8 days on the GoFundMe page.

Also if you visit their website, they are no longer taking online orders and state that all the brick or mortar stores are now having their "going out of business" sales.

So all these bjillionaires can come together and save the money whore Toys R Us, while our Vets go without medical treatment, homeless numbers are getting higher,  and people around the world are starving.

Brilliant. I'll never shop there again.

You know, I'm not at all impressed with this. When I think of the diseases, the homelessness, the veterans.... all the people who would benefit from these millions of dollars... when I think of all the good this money would do... and people are donating it to keep a greedy company in business but they won't donate to the charities which would use the money to help the needy?  It makes me sick, and it makes me incredibly sad.

Seriously? Maybe I have been away from the big city for too long, but no one here would dare do that. I've never seen anyone take pics of anything in any store.

She's in a small vacation type town in Michigan and I'm in the Chicago burbs and I can remember back to when she was in Highschool looking for school dance dresses and taking pictures so we could decide later...................  maybe they thought you had your camera out for other reasons................... hmmmmmm?   LOL  THAT'S A JOKE

It wouldn't surprise me if it happened.  I am in an area where it is dog eat dog and everyone wants to find the best price because it's an expensive area to live.

My daughter had 3 Children Boutiques and shut her doors 5 years ago when her customers were coming in taking pictures of stuff and ordering on line.

I have whole malls near me that are slated for demolition due to the failure of its brick and mortar stores.  Main street disappearing is next?

Toys R Us has set up a GoFundMe campaign and has raised over $200 million so far.

They need to reach $1 billion by May 28th - and you know ... I think they might just pull this off. Stranger things have happened!

Wow, I'm surprised.  People must have a real, emotional connection to TRU for this to happen, especially when most people feel they are/were too expensive.  If they pull it off, good for them!
