Very well spoken, Dave!! As a former part-time Toys R Us associate for 10 yrs. (hated to give that job up, the discounts supported my action figure and video game addictions, but the new tax bracket I was in made it a necessity), I lived through those "toy wars" and IMHO TRU still has not fully recovered yet!! Especially once you fact in Target and the online stores that carry a more diverse line of product as well!!

Also everything you said was sad but true!! But conversely, where would OUR economy be right now without the Walmarts and Microsofts of the world?!!

Makes you stop and appreciate them regardless of their faults and shortcuts!!
