I read on Toy Ark that a company is going to possibly try to bring back KB Toys as an online store and with brick and mortar locations. I'm not sure what to think of this. I have a lot of pleasant memories of shopping at KB stores but that is around 15 years in the past, there's a much different climate in the hobby then there was back then.

I’m trying not to get caught up in the excitement, or excrement—whichever it turns out to be.

A little of each. I figure KB is buying the remaining stock of Toys R Us to sell at outlandish prices since there is nothing at TRU now and the sales have not really started.

Some people saying they actually increased their prices to compensate for the ongoing 10% markdowns. Crazy. I'm waiting for the last possible minute to check out a few stores in driving distance to see if there's anything worth getting once the for realzies liquidation discounts are in effect.
The KB thing is separate. It's supposedly a firm that revitalizes retro brands wants to bring it back in time for the holidays this year, but that's pretty impossible in the timeframe. Also, the owner dude for Lil Tykes created a crowdfunding page to try to raise enough dough to buy TRU out. HA! Pathetic fool! He'll never succeed!
