Target Burbank looks pathetic these days. I hope they stock up before Xmas- for the kids' sake of course.

Saw the Cars tumbleweed McQueen today- really dumb. Why would they paint tumbleweeds green?

I'm selling a Jango Fett mini-bust and Anakin Skywalker animated maquette if anyone is interested.

My Kotobukiya R2/3PO should arrive Monday, best $49 I've ever spent!

Cool!

Hey, does everyone know that KayBee is closing for good? Well, they are. Every single store. Bye-bye KayBee. It's a shame.:cry:

It's a shame. As a kid, I remember there'd be 2 or 3 toy stores in the mall. Plus the department stores would also have a toy department. Now there are none.

So that means Chubby13 won't have his backdoor supplier anymore. :cry:

While I hate the lack of competition for Target, TRU, etc, KB has sucked for years. Their prices are ridonculous and their stores are ghettos most of the time. The holiday KB stores are an even bigger insult. I miss the Glendale FAO Schwartz.

That figures. I finally broke down and got one from Hasbrotoyshop a couple weeks ago for $120, thinking that was the lowest it could get. Now it's even lower. :(

Actually, that's going to be good for his business. No competition plus he'll be able to sell ALL kinds of toys now, which he couldn't do before because of mall regulations. Part of Kaybee's contract with the mall was that they would be the only toy store in there with no competition. Chubby13's was not considered competition for KayBee because it is a "collectibles" store.:cross-eye

Great! All we need are more overpriced toys. Anyone see the Office this week? Princess Unicorn dolls on sale for 200 bucks at Chubby13's store!:grin:
Haven't bought much lately. Nothing I really need to have. Might get the TRU bust up sets if I see em though.

That must explain why Suncoast had such weird toy selections. What the F is the city's obsession with signing deals of "no-compete" with retailers? Vons/Pavilions made the city sign the same agreements, so when their stores close down, no other grocery stores can open up in their place. And without competition, in a crappy mall, KB still sucked. Good riddance. I'm sure this happens in other cities, but it sucks. Honestly, I'm surprised TRU is still in business. Thank god I'm more or less done with retail collecting.
