Great. So it'll be like Kmart with the remaining stores being overloaded with stock from the closed stores.

I have a Target right down the street from my closing TRU that just closed and looks like they did what TRU is about to do. Outside of the usual post Christmas clearance prices, nothing was really "store closing" clearance prices. Seemed like everything in the store was slowly moved to other area Target stores.

This definitely sounds like something TRU would do.
I know a guy that used to work there; When an Express store would close after Christmas, their inventory would be trucked over to a more permanent store. So transferring merchandise is absolutely something that happens. Plus employee morale is probably pretty low (or lower than normal), so corporate isn't going to leave "the good stuff" in stores it could walk out of.

Also, I received an e-mail from TRU stating "up to 30% off" at closing stores. Since it seems they'll be loading the doomed stores with junk that will go to other stores if unsold, that could be the maximum price break....for now.
According to "The Joe Report": "The first of their stores to close will do so as early as next month (February), with the remainder having done so by the end of April, 2018."

I got an email from TRU on Thursday; it's now 40% off at closing stores.

The 40% is only on some stuff, action figures are all still only 20% at the one here I've been keeping an eye on. Hoping we don't lose any more (or all) but time will tell.

Liquidation sale for ALL stores is supposed to start today. Time to grab those True Heroes vehicles I've been eyeing like the plane and submarine.

I picked up the hovercraft last Sat at full price as a 'thank you' to the company over the years; but I'll go back for the Mayan Temple (for AWoKians) and maybe the Sub at sale prices.

At least in our area this is due to logistics issues caused by the storm yesterday.

Hoping to get to the Horse heads, NY store Monday. Apparently no liquidation online, so everything saved in my cart is for naught.


Looking for some True Heroes vehicles, and some more Paw Patrol Paw Terrain Vehicles.

There is a Paw Patrol ship with a red hull that could be useful in making a Joe LST.
