Toys R Us Partners with Target to Relaunch Website

October 8, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Toys R Us has relaunched their website ahead of the holiday shopping season. They have teamed up with Target to feature product reviews and if you want to buy something, there is a purchase button to Target to complete your purchase.

If you remember, Toys R Us will be opening two stores in the US and it looks like the revamped website will also be doing their online sales through Target. This is an interesting strategy on TRU’s part since they are making their comeback just before the holidays so we’ll see if it works out for them. It is unsure at this time if LEGO will be doing anything with the new Toys R Us in regards to any exclusives like they used to do.

LEGO Toys R Us Bricktober 2019 Sets Revealed

September 21, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Although there are no more Toys R Us stores in the US (not talking about the new ones), LEGO is still doing the popular Bricktober sets and the 2019 lineup has been revealed over on Brickfinder. There are four to collect and they feature miniature Asian scenes. They are also able to connect together using pins on the sides. These will be available in Hong Kong starting next week. I’m not sure if TRU Canada will be having these or not. Obviously, we here in the US will need to purchase them on the secondary market or have connections overseas.

Toys R Us Rebranded as Geoffrey’s Toy Box

October 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Just a few months after Toys R Us declared bankruptcy and closed all of their stores here in the US, it looks like they have planned a comeback as soon as next month. Now going under the name of Geoffrey’s Toy Box, they are planning to open store-in-a-store shops and the first ones will reportedly be in a large Midwest retailer. My guess is that it could be in some Meijer stores since they are pretty popular in that part of the country.

This news may sound great as we do need a dedicated toy store but it also doesn’t sit well with some, mainly former employees. As one of those employees, I along with about 33,000 others lost our jobs with no severance pay while the the executives got paid bonuses. I honestly don’t care much about it anymore because I had something lined up before I left but it did leave a bitter taste in my mouth with how everything went down. From what I read, they are trying to rehire some of the former employees in the new stores so that’s good news I suppose. If I was somehow invited back, I most likely won’t be going back because it won’t be the same as before.

It’s still hard to say what Geoffrey’s Toy Box could be at this time. Most likely there will probably be some LEGO sold there but not to the extent of what TRU used to have. We’ll have to see if this new venture pans out or not … Continue

LEGO BrickHeadz Toys R Us Geoffrey (40316) Revealed

August 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Toys R Us is gone at least here in the United States and the United Kingdom but it looks like there’s a LEGO BrickHeadz Toys R Us Geoffrey (40316) set that has been produced. I assume is set was going to be available at TRU later this year but it looks like that’s up in the air. Countries that still have Toys R Us stores could possibly still see this set but I’ll let you know when it is available. Until then, the building instructions are live on LEGO’s servers so you can build your own but there are some printed bricks of stars that are exclusive to this set.
