Maybe we can score some good video game deals!

Video game deals would be sweet, but I imagine they will suck or the store will be chaos if there are actually good deals.

I was in there not that long ago and was surprised at how BORING their toys were...absolutely nothing was worth even looking at

I was just by the one close to home when my wife and I were shopping last week, and they had sign holders at the nearby intersection saying they were closing the store and all merchandise had to go.

Will there even be brick and mortar stores in 10 years?When it comes to specialty stores I imagine more and more will be disappearing. Price is relevant to 90% of Americans to at least some degree. If I can buy X game new on ebay for $20 rather than used at a local store for $15 I will, just because it's new. However I do try to support a local chain of stores here in the midwest that sells video game, comics, music, movies, toys, card games, sports cards, and some books too. Places like Walmart and large grocery chains are offering to shop for you, and either deliver or you can pick up your groceries. So even brick and mortar stores are giving people one less reason to leave their home.

Toys R Us here shut down a long time ago and became a giant Hastings. Now that's out of business and I have no idea what that building is now.

Went to one in Canada yesterday. Got some Pop figures for a steak of a deal.
Three pops for $20 (usually $15 each).

My friend is an hr manager for toys r us and has told me the ceo confirmed they Are liquidating the company.
That's what happens when you get bought out by a company in severe debt and then make tons of boneheaded decisions that cost the company more money and have a "customer is worth more than any employee" policy

you either adapt or die. Walmart, Gamestop, Target, etc.. all adapted to the times meanwhile other stores want to stay the same

Walmart and Target are general stores. I think the thing to look into is specialty shops surviving.

Maybe it'll be like that time Borders closed down, and the liquidation prices were finally in line with everyone else's regular price.
Or, I'll go spend a thousand dollars or two on fire sale Lego. |

Like either you can be the type of people who accept they have to face struggles grit down and do something about it or you can be gen x and complain about how hard the generation before them made the world for them and how much the generations after them suck. I like to ask myself what the great or silent generation would think of them for how much they complain and I can't imagine their opinion of gen x would be great.

thanosibe posted...I didn't mean that as a personal accusation toward you. Just that in general people in generations tend to blame the generation before or after for the condition of society. So it's nothing new that millenials are under attack now.

Seriously walk into a Gamestop
you will be bombarded with merchandise and funko pops, and all the games are in the back of the store like they shouldn't exist |

Last three times I took my 11 year old son for a free Pokemon code, he ended up with an overpriced stuffed Pokemon or some other toy. They're right there by the register to get the code. Them fuckers know what they're doing.

Gamestop may be adapting but I don't think its helping them. There stock price has been trending down for about 5 years. I still think its a good idea to adapt since psychical video game sales are probably declining, but becoming the Funko Pop store doens't seem to be helping them at the moment.

They'll probably sell the assets to a liquidation company, which usually jacks up prices and puts on "sales." I remember walking into a Sports Authority when they were going under and the prices were still unbelievable.
That's my guess anyway.
