Lowering their prices and actually having what you want in stock. Amazon is horrible for certain toys, but great with others.

This. Toys R Us only sold kid toys. Amazon sells adult AND kid toys.

Speaking of which, how come adult toys are always things you shove up your butt and not, like, a big ol' racecar or something?

Big ol' race cars are a lot more expensive

Toys R Us was doing fine, the problem was that it was acquired with a leveraged buyout, putting tons of debt on the books that they couldn't possibly overcome. You can thank Bain Capital for that.

Isn't this the free market at work? Business don't have a right to exist in capitalism and I'm pretty sure that's kind of the point.

The leverage buyout was the main reason but even without that, their horrible prices compared to Amazon was already their funeral.

Like when I think about how people reacted to the closure I can only relate in the way I felt when Funcoland kicked the bucket.

Toys R Us meant nothing to me in the frame of my childhood.

This. Romney's old company essentially put Toys R' Us on life support.

Every industry needs to adapt. It sucks to say goodbye to so many stores, but technology has made may brick-and-mortar businesses obsolete. If they refuse to incorporate the internet into their business model, it's not our responsibility to swear off new technology so that you can maintain the same business model you have been employing for the past few decades. That doesn't mean I think Amazon should have the monopoly, but it's not the consumers responsibility to make it a fair fight by buying against their own self interest in order to give outdated stores who don't want to change a fair fight.

There was a Toys R Us that was about a 20 minute drive away from where I lived that still sold Bakugan toys, when it was closing down all of them were gone.

If TRU was actually ever stocked or didn't have outrageous prices it might have survived.

I remember all my friends were pissed off cause their kids wanted World of Nintendo toys and TRU never had them stocked.
