>>Well, nothing in the analysis you posted surprises me. Toys R' Us sells a very mass market, junky and mostly plastic assortment of stuff. When I was still buying toys for my daughter, the only reason I went there was to get Legos at a good price, and Barbie outfits sometimes. I'm surprised you got a good price. I guess that says something about SF. From what I've seen and read, R' Us has comparatively high prices. People seem to think anything "warehouse" means "bargain". I guess that jig may be up - one reason, no doubt for the shift to Walmart by many former customers. Hasn't R 'Us has been cited in the past for trying to enforce "exclusive" deals for toys with manufacturers? No doubt to stop comparison shopping.
