Silly ass complaint. In a world filled with silly complaints.

Amen. TRU can simply put all of the adult collector's stuff in a different aisle. In fact,

Yes, I've signed it. As someone who regularly buys collector's toys, I think pulling them is a stupid idea.

[Rong]

as collector wouldn't you normally buy online?

or from a smaller speciality shop?

i'm surprised toy r us stocked them in the first place.

[DoomRulz]

Online is a good place to check but the trouble is that most of the places I'd be buying from are located in the States, so between shipping and potential import charges, I'd rather not. As for the specialty shops, sure I go to them as well but I like having variety. It forces competitive pricing.

Oh lets be honest, more and more adults are buying toys for themselves these days.

[DoomRulz]

Are they?

You never had and adolescence so you mad.

Lets be honest, more 'toys' are being crafted like affordable works of art these days. People have been collecting shit (Hoarding treasures) for as long as there have been caves to keep said shit in. Nothing new.

On the subject of TRU ... there are crazy violent toys (gore/dismemberment full visible in package) in a separate aisle. These Breaking Bad figures just look like regular joes unless you have context of where they belong in pop culture.

Toy R Us have been carrying McFarlane and Clive Barker's gore figures for years. 

[Crazy Rich]

They've had Aliens and Predators.

Aw schucks, I've never seen them! The NECA stuff is coming in quite steadily nowadays but I've never seen McF toys.

Uh, wouldn't it be whoever owns the intellectual rights to the character he played in GoodFellas that has... the rights to the character?

He's suing over a character that's been around for 20 years. Right then.
